Six ways hotels are targeting the millennial market (and benefiting us all) By Kate Silver Hotels, they are a’changin’, as hoteliers develop properties that cater to the younger, tech-savvy generations.
New and older brands are making moves to do away with the beige, interact via apps, double as co-working and social spaces, and score shareable selfie love along the way.
