In Design Hotels’ inaugural Further Forecast trend report, we defined six megatrends that are transforming and will continue to transform the way we travel today, tomorrow, and for years to come. From addressing the environmental crisis to embracing the age of artificial intelligence, these key themes not only impact travelers but also help our member hotels define their ethos and revolutionize their operations. From Mexico to the Maldives, these six properties take such future-oriented paradigm shifts to heart.
