Why Human Longevity Requires a Wellness Lifestyle Facilitated by Hotel Programs
Adam and Larry Mogelonsky | October 10, 2024
By Adam and Larry Mogelonsky As longevity researchers continue to explore the intricacies of how to ward off chronic disease, extend human life, and even reverse aging, one thing has become clear: there’s no single cure-all yet. We haven’t reached the point where a quick fix can turn back the biological clock by a decade (healthspan) or push the human lifespan beyond its current upper limit of around 125 years. While this lack of a magic solution frustrates some, it opens exciting opportunities for wellness hotels, as we’ll soon explore. Advanced treatments like induced pluripotent stem cell therapy, therapeutic peptides, targeted exe...

Rethinking Menu Ingredients to Ramp Up Guest Nutrition
Adam and Larry Mogelonsky | July 17, 2024
By Adam and Larry Mogelonsky Food menus need to evolve in order to keep pace with the trends so that hotels can continue to attract diners and use their restaurants as a key draw for overnight guests. One of the trends is that menus are becoming healthier and healthier over time. Whether that’s adding vegan options, reducing the amount of deep-fried items or using better quality cooking oils – in particular, excluding harmful seed oils – the demand for healthier plates is there. Nowhere better emphasizes this than all the marketing hoi polloi around all the purported superfoods – acai, kale and all the fun, new adaptogenic mushr...
Inspiration for Meeting the Demand for Low-Sugar Desserts
Adam and Larry Mogelonsky | July 3, 2024
By Adam and Larry Mogelonsky In the past, dietary fat was considered the main culprit in weight gain. Today, however, popular nutritional trends such as keto and paleo diets emphasize low-carb and low-sugar regimens as the best methods for weight loss and maintaining insulin sensitivity. Refined or added sugar, in particular, is now seen as the primary dietary element to eliminate in order to achieve a wide array of health benefits. Emerging research even suggests that cutting out sugar could help prevent dementia-related diseases like Alzheimer’s, which is now colloquially referred to as ‘Type-3 Diabetes.’ Supporting this view is the...

We wellness folks can often forget, however, that not everyone shares the same mindset. Interest is growing, sure, but we need landmark news stories to emphasize this industry’s progression from niche to mainstream and the multi-trillion-dollar opportunity that awaits hospitality brands who anticipate the societal sh...
Human Longevity Means Big Gains in Hotel Guest CLV
Adam and Larry Mogelonsky | January 3, 2024
By Adam Mogelonsky, Larry Mogelonsky At the start of 2023, many hospitality pundits and leading brands declared it the year of wellness. As we proceed into 2024, the trend isn’t going away. Far from it, the latest statistics from the Global Wellness Institute not only reveal this industry’s resilience (now at $5.6 trillion) but a promise of accelerating gains over the rest of the decade. The prospects of the growth of wellness not only mean more ways to differentiate hotel brands and upsell experiences to boost TRevPAR, but also living better and living longer. And with this potential boost to one’s longevity, there’s more years...
Placing Wellness and Sustainability as Core Hotel Values With the Fairmont Mayakoba
Adam and Larry Mogelonsky | October 11, 2023
By Adam and Larry Mogelonsky Spread across a sprawling 45-acre ocean-facing campus with 401 rooms and suites, the five-diamond, AAA Fairmont Mayakoba has long been on our bucket list of resorts worth visiting. Just outside of Playa del Carmen in the heart of the remarkably popular sun destination that is the Mayan Riviera (especially for Canadian snowbirds like the two of us), the Fairmont Mayakoba property intrigued us because of its diverse array of amenities, its sustainable luxury approach within the broader Mexican hospitality industry and its core focus on authentic wellness experiences. But it wasn’t until we caught wind of the...
