Making Invisible Service Visible: How Lokal Hotel Markets a New Hospitality Experience

  • Summary

  • When you think about luxury hotels, what typically comes to mind? Probably a grand lobby with an attentive front desk staff, a concierge ready to fulfill your every need, and various hotel personnel available 24/7. But what if everything you thought you knew about luxury hospitality was about to change? What if the future of hospitality isn't about more service, but about invisible service? Today's travelers are increasingly seeking authentic, independent experiences. They want to feel like locals, not tourists. They're comfortable with technology and often prefer digital solutions to human interaction. But this creates an interesting challenge for hoteliers: how do you market and build trust in a hospitality experience that intentionally minimizes human contact? That's exactly what our guest today has figured out. Chad Ludeman is the co-founder of Lokal Hotel, a pioneering boutique hotel brand that's revolutionizing the hospitality industry with their innovative "invisible service" concept. Through thoughtful design and strategic marketing, Chad and his team have successfully created and promoted a new kind of hotel experience that resonates with modern travelers. Today, he'll share how they're using social media and digital marketing to make the invisible visible.
