GMH Hotels: Motels Turn 100, Disney Perks & Pan Am Nostalgia

This week on GMH Hotel, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk dive into a packed lineup of hospitality headlines. They unpack why luxury hotels often miss top brand rankings despite premium offerings and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the American motel — a travel icon getting a fresh look.

The team also covers a new The Pan Am Experience-themed hotel coming to L.A., and how U.S. airlines are riding strong passenger momentum into 2025. In family travel news, The Walt Disney Company’s new free dining plan for kids could shift value perceptions. Tune in for trends, nostalgia, and thoughtful industry insights.
