Palisociety Boutique Hotel Chain Expands With Quirky Innkeeper Vibe (Skift)

Fast expanding Palisociety, a family-run U.S. boutique hotel brand, takes a proprietor-driven approach, with its founder, Avi Brosh.

“I think of our hotels more as neighborhood inns as opposed to transactional hotels,” Brosh said. “So I thought, ‘I’m going to do a hotel that is everything I like.’” Yet as the brand grows, the question arises of whether Brosh and his family continue to put their stamp on everything. Photo credit: The pool deck at the newly renovated Palihouse West Hollywood. He feels the innkeeper distinction offers plenty of room for growth. Still, Brosh’s goal isn’t to make it too obvious. Brosh started the Los Angeles-based hotel group in 2008, and the portfolio now includes 15 hotels, with five more to open this year. Many of the brand’s furniture pieces are even designed by the Palisociety team. As it turned out, people liked what Brosh liked, too. Palisociety is a brand of 15 boutique hotels. It’s launching another brand, [Le Petit Pali](https://www.palisociety.com/nav-property-standard/le-petit-pali), this summer. Its design philosophy represents a percolating sector trend.

The Hotel Cabanas That Cost More Than Most Rooms (The Wall Street Journal)

Poolside shade at luxury resorts is now going for $500 or even $1000 before food and drink—and often selling out.

He calls cabana prices “outrageous” but says he wouldn’t spend a day at the pool in Las Vegas any other way. He reserved the cabana in late February, paying $550 for the day, excluding gratuity. The hotel spent $2 million to add eight luxury cabanas and eight daybeds in 2011, targeting big-spending guests who book its suites and oceanfront rooms, he says. (The kid-free zone costs the most.) At the beachfront Hotel del Coronado just outside San Diego, a premium cabana goes for $400 a day. For an Easter weekend getaway, the Phoenician resort at the base of Arizona’s Camelback Mountain will set you up in a poolside cabana for $550 to $600 a day depending on location. The guests renting them spend 35% to 40% more on food and drinks than other pool-goers. Last week, a family from Malibu, Calif., called the Phoenician to make sure their cabana captain, Rich Whalen, will be working during their next visit this summer, Mrs. They target locals and vacationers staying elsewhere, like an [Airbnb](https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/ABNB).

The industry’s move to online reservations and dynamic pricing has upped the ante during peak travel periods. And business groups are booking them more than they did prepandemic, leaving few last-minute choices, says Michelle Wrobel, assistant director of food and beverage. Cabanas, those curtained-off retreats with TVs, padded lounge chairs, couches, trendy sunscreen and other perks, are fetching eye-popping prices as the travel boom stokes demand.
