Gratis Retour FRAME 140. Hospitality. Why quiet is the new loud for hotels

The May/June 2021 issue of Frame explores how hotels are becoming inner-city escapes, answering the call of travellers looking for antidotes to their busy work and home lives. After closing the books on its toughest year to date, the hotel industry is still in the midst of a period of serious uncertainty. City hotels, once heavily reliant on business travellers, major events and conferences, are having to rethink their position. We look at how accommodations in and around major metropolises are turning inwards, diverging from the social-hotspot hotels that have dominated the airwaves over the past decade to provide places of rest and self-reflection instead.
