Episode 38: Curating an Authentic Sense of Connection in Hospitality with WoodHouse
Simon Sorpresi, President of Members Clubs and Hotels for WoodHouse US, joins Adam Deflorian on this episode of Luxury Travel Innovators to share what reimagined private membership clubs look like—and why creating community is the key to his success. Key topics include: Why private membership clubs are redefining luxury hospitality by creating communities built on connection, culture, and curated experiences. How the future of luxury lies in personalization, not standardization. Why hospitality’s next competitive advantage is connecting travelers with locals, turning hotels into gateways for authentic cultural experiences rather than just places to stay.
