LHW CATERS TO THE AFFLUENT TRAVELER. HOW HAS THEIR PROFILE CHANGED OVER
THE LAST FEW YEARS?
Younger. From more new places around the world. Heterogeneity. They have their own standards.
2017 PROVED TO BE A ROBUST YEAR FOR THE LUXURY SECTOR. WHAT DO YOU PROJECT
FOR 2018?
We will cross the $1 billion hotel revenue generated in 2018. Double digit growth.
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR PERSONAL “LUXURY MOMENT” WHEN TRAVELING?
WHAT IS MEANINGFUL TO YOU?
To me, luxury is what we want and don’t have enough of. A luxury moment for me is outdoors, sounds of
nature (free of any human voices), 70 degrees, gentle breeze, partly sunny, fresh air, comfortable seating,
a glass of wine, and a fine cigar.
