Hosted by Cloudbeds’ VP of Partnerships, Sebastien Leitner, the new season dives deep into the most pressing challenges and groundbreaking innovations shaping the hospitality industry this year - from rethinking commercial strategies and driving profitability to harnessing artificial intelligence, tackling labor shortages, and redefining leadership to stay ahead in 2025. “This season, we’re taking The Turndown to the next level, featuring some of the world’s most respected voices in hospitality,” said Leitner. “From shifting guest expectations to the growing role of AI and automation in hotel management, our guests offer candid insights and real-world examples that will no doubt resonate with hoteliers everywhere.” With thousands of downloads across its first two seasons, The Turndown now expands its scope with a broader global reach, featuring executives and visionaries from across North America, Europe, Latin America, and the APAC region. The Turndown’s high-profile guests include: The season kicks off with a conversation with hospitality icon Richard Kessler, whose career spans over 50 years in hotel development and management. As Chairman and CEO of The Kessler Collection, he has left an indelible mark on the luxury boutique hotel segment, curating properties that double as living art galleries and spearheading transformative urban projects such as Savannah’s $400M Plant Riverside District.
