Bashar Wali's 2026 Playbook for Hotels & Hospitality Leaders

Most hotel owners and operators are treading water, waiting for a "recovery" that might never arrive in the way they expect. With labor costs spiking and top-line revenue flattening, the "business as usual" model of hospitality is officially broken. In this unfiltered conversation with Hospitality Daily Podcast host Josiah Mackenzie, Bashar Wali (Founder of This Assembly and Practice Hospitality) delivers a masterclass on where hospitality is heading. Bashar tears down the buzzwords—from "Experiential Hospitality" to "Biophilia"—and explains why the next market cycle belongs to the "Merchants of Cool" who prioritize human behavior over fleeting trends.
