Hotelier Liz Lambert on Creating Immersive Experiences | The Tim Ferriss Show

Liz Lambert talks about the importance of having immersive experiences at hotels.
Liz Lambert (@thelizlambert) first purchased a seedy motel on South Congress Avenue 23 years ago, and transformed it into Hotel San José, which has become known today as the quintessential “Austin” hotel. The success of Hotel San José, which sparked a revitalization in the city’s now thriving South Congress district, led her to launch Bunkhouse Group, a hospitality company founded on the pillars of design, music, and community-driven experiences.
In the course of chronicling her experiences with the residents of Hotel San José on video camera, she ended up making the Last Days of the San José, a documentary that casts a fascinating light on human relationships in gentrification and urban renewal.

I'd go with the Nitiraj original masala, over nag champa, if I had my druthers.
