How Buildings Shape Hospitality: Lessons from a Yale-Trained Architect-Turned-Hotel GM - Kara Bartelt, The Hoxton, Downtown LA

Buildings are the platforms we all provide hospitality from, but how much do you know about the built environment?

Joining us to help us learn more about this today is Kara Bartelt, who studied architecture at MIT and then earned her master's degree in architecture from Yale before eventually finding her way to the hospitality industry and working for Ace Hotel before her current role as the General Manager of The Hoxton, Downtown LA.

In this episode you'll learn how Kara got into architecture, what she learned about effective building and facilities management, and how all of this makes her a more effective hospitality leader today.
