How to Build a Hotel from Scratch

How to Build a Hotel from Scratch Synopsis

How to Build a Hotel from Scratch offers more than just a guide to hotel construction - it's a soulful journey through cultures, cuisines, and human connection. Meet Tatyana, a Korean woman raised in a quaint Uzbek village, a place whose heart beats with the age-old tradition of hospitality. Nurtured by her surgeon parents, Tatyana finds her earliest inspirations within the walls of her father's home library. But her story transcends the mere building of brick-and-mortar structures. It delves into the philosophical foundations that underpin hospitality and asks compelling questions: What defines us as global citizens? What unites us through our diverse cuisines, histories, and cultures? Is the spirit of hospitality a universal marker of trust and goodness? As she navigates her way from a breakthrough job with a renowned U.S. hotel brand to spectacular global locales - including Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Paris, Rome, Florence, Seoul, and Jeonju - a Tatyana garners invaluable experiences. Each destination is a stepping stone toward her ultimate aspiration: creating her own vision of a luxury, sustainable, wellness-focused hotel. This book, then, serves as both a personal journey and a practical guide, offering readers an inside look into the intricacies of the hotel industry, informed by a lifetime of rich, international experiences.
