A guest checks in to a room already set at the right temperature for sleep, and the next morning a breakfast built on hormone-free proteins changes how they feel all day. Jonathan Heath, Executive Vice President of Food and Beverage and Hotel Operations at Starwood Hotels, says food, well-being, and the guest experience are no longer separate departments but one standard.

Ahead of his session at INSPIRE Luxury Hospitality Conference, he laid out how Starwood is rebuilding around that idea, with menus shaped by how a meal makes a guest feel and chefs like Michael Solomonov in the kitchen. Well-being runs past the spa into room design and the gym, and even event programming is built for focus, with lighter starches and no caffeine after 2 p.m.

The best decisions in luxury hospitality are often made about the smallest details.

Our President, Barak Hirschowitz, helps open this conversation on one of those details hiding in plain sight: how a property chooses the amenity partner behind the products every guest touches. He’s joined by a procurement leader from IHG and the team from Hunter Amenities International Ltd. for an honest look at how that decision really gets made.
