Welcome to the second installment of our new Saturday feature: the week’s best hotel marketing posts, tech news, photos, and any other inspiring or entertaining stories that we stumbled across. Enjoy!
Welcome to The Hotel Concorde Berlin lobby, our first reader-submitted photo of the week.
Josiah recently wrote about the importance of recognizing loyal fans and their contributions, and while we can’t offer you a Ford Fiesta, we can dedicate some space to your favorite photos and hotels.
This week’s photo was snapped and submitted by The Concorde Hotel Resort. In their words, “The modern and cutting edge design of the lobby is also amplified by this cool looking circular lighting in the Hotel Concorde Berlin in Germany.”

This is really great stuff Katie !
For all of us who missed the best of the week due to a busy schedule, Sunday is a great time to catch up on some interesting reading…
Cheers

You know what would really help Katie ?
If the links were to open in separate windows. That way I can open multiple links at the same time to read…
Just a thought…
Cheers
Mihir

Thanks for the mention of HootSuite 5 — we’re excited to help hotels spread messages, monitor conversations and track results.
And as a Dead Head, cheers for the Grateful Dead marketing links — this is useful knowledge indeed. Most of what i’ve learned about community building and grassroots entrepreneurship was acquired in GD concert parking lots and tour vans.
You’re very welcome, Dave! Happy to help you spread the word.
