The Lifestyle Hospitality Report:

A study into the current landscape of lifestyle hospitality destinations, by creative studio Raw Clay.

What is Lifestyle Hospitality?

There’s a really exciting segment of the hospitality industry that creates exceptional, holistic experiences for its customers - blending purpose, environment, and culture. Whether operating from one location or bringing together multiple sites, these places aren’t your average hospitality businesses - they bring something special to the table. They are a lifestyle choice.

Why this report is needed

As we navigate a rapidly changing world, fostering real-life connections has never been more crucial. But what does that look like in the years to come, and how can businesses evolve to meet the needs and desires of their audience?
