The Hotel of Tomorrow™ Project

Innovation through Collaboration

The H.O.T. Project is an innovative think-tank led by Gettys and Hospitality Design Magazine where industry leaders come together to anticipate the future of hospitality and define the business solutions that will advance our industry.
