We’ve previously discussed the necessity for hotel managers to stay current with their industry, regarding everything from management ethics to technology upgrades. And we’ve recently recommended some books for deep dives and better in-depth understanding. 

But it’s not enough to just stay current, you need to stay curious. Hotel Management Blogs are a great place to find information and even inspiration that might not be on your mainstream radar, and in a skimmable format for those short on time.  

Different from the deep dive of a good book, blogs and news sites allow you an overview of the broader landscape. You can find short discussions on everything from in-room hot water kettle reviews, to insight on the growing “Bleisure” market (business and leisure travel combined) to specific discussions on software or technology updates for small hotels. 

We’ve rounded up a list of some recommended hospitality industry blogs, but new ones pop up quickly so keep your eyes open. Bookmark the ones you like for when you have time to explore. Sometimes inspiration is in the small places.
