Hi everyone -
Happy Friday before the Easter break. It was interesting hearing from so many of you that my design week reflections resonated with you!
Thank you everyone for all your kind feedback on this month’s podcast episode with Gaetano Guarducci of Sant Ambroeus Hospitality Group. Very few restaurant brands have managed to become part of cultural zeitgeist, and even fewer maintain that freshness over time. Listen here.
An update: next week’s newsletter will include an issue of “Investment Committee”. If you’re new here, “Investment Committee” is a column in which I digest your pitch deck into a simplified version of an investment committee memo (I apologize to those that have IC PTSD). Boutique hospitality brands in Europe are currently being prioritized. Submit yours here.
In today’s newsletter: fashion x hospitality in Paris, is it time for Americans to move to Europe? fine jewelry private equity, status symbol smoothies, Accor’s new ventures, how long can the wellness club trend last?
