The Best Hotels Feel Like a Different World - Mike Baxter, House of Gods
In this episode, Mike Baxter, House of Gods founder, shares the origin story behind his boutique hotel brand and why he believes most hotels confuse boutique aesthetic with actual boutique identity. Mike explains why story and purpose matter more than design trends, and how the right narrative attracts both guests and team members who believe in the product. Listen for his take on why hotels should be a fantasy, not a nicer version of your living room.
