Nobu's San Juan hotel keeps it to 50 rooms and leads with the restaurant

Nobu's San Juan hotel keeps it to 50 rooms and leads with the restaurant

Nobu Hotel and Restaurant San Juan is a 50-room project slated to open in 2028. With a street-facing Nobu restaurant and bar plus a rooftop lounge and bar, the plan positions food and beverage to shape first impressions and public life.

  • 01At 50 rooms, Nobu’s San Juan property is small enough that its street-level restaurant and rooftop bar are likely to do most of the work of defining it.
  • 02Nobu has 20 hotels open and nearly 30 more projects in the pipeline, so its development book is already larger than its operating portfolio.
  • 03The details worth watching before the 2028 opening are how the street-level restaurant connects to the neighborhood, what the rooftop program looks like, and whether local sourcing and Puerto Rican design show up in specifics.

How holiday calendar shifts can skew weekly travel comps

How holiday calendar shifts can skew weekly travel comps

A calendar shift can move holiday travel into a different comparison week than the year before, making one week look weak and the next look strong. A positive result shows the direction of the comparison, not the size of the gain.

  • 01Calendar shifts can alter the comparability of weekly travel metrics year over year.
  • 02Misaligned holiday weeks can make a week look weak in year-over-year comparisons and the adjacent week look strong.
  • 03Forecasting models should include festival dates and holiday placement as named line items.

My Place relaunches Trend with an introductory royalty for franchises executed before Dec. 31

My Place relaunches Trend with an introductory royalty for franchises executed before Dec. 31

My Place Hotels of America relaunched Trend by My Place as a three-tier platform for independent owners and properties ready to change flags. The pitch is a way into a national franchise system without heavy capital requirements, backed by My Place’s reservations, loyalty and support platform, as U.S. conversions run 15% above last year. Owners have until Dec. 31 to execute deals under an introductory royalty.

  • 01With U.S. hotel conversions up 15% year over year, My Place is pitching Trend to owners as a franchise path that avoids heavy capital requirements.
  • 02Trend by My Place has been relaunched as a three-tier platform aimed at independent owners and properties ready to change flags. The relaunch coverage does not name the tiers or specify whether the 2020 admission standard—limited to high-quality, well-operated properties opened in 2005 or later—still applies to any tier, including one intended for regional inns or destination lodges.
  • 03The question for owners before the Dec. 31 introductory royalty cutoff: does the 2020 rule admitting only properties opened in 2005 or later still apply to each new tier?
