Flipping the Script - Stephanie Hopkins

Hospitality is more about the overall experience that you get and experiencing everything there is to offer.

Growing up in Texas, Stephanie’s mom was the example she had for what hospitality really is because she was always entertaining and providing a welcoming environment for friends and family.

Stephanie spent time working in London and New York doing interior design, and that is where she discovered her passion for hospitality and design.

Working with an independent hotel and boutique hotels will help you to learn how to think on your feet and find solutions to unique problems.

Every piece of detail matters to a guest and it impacts their experience at a hotel. You want to make sure that you are planning out every detail as much as you can and using the detail to make the guest have a wonderful experience.

Not every brand or hotel is for every person. You want to build a hotel and think about the customers that you are trying to attract without also confusing the design of the brand for other hotel designs.

Through the pandemic, a lot of people developed a longing for travel as that was taken away from them. People are now wanting to go out and experience new places and see beautiful hotels.
