Raul Leal, CEO, Virgin Hotels Micah Solomon is one of today's preeminent thought leaders on where hospitality, customer service, and customers themselves are heading. In The Heart of Hospitality, Micah has put together the only book of its kind: a spectacularly useful, intelligent, and wry look at what determines success in the hospitality industry, packed throughout with his own insights and the insights of an extraordinary roster of great leaders and practitioners from our industry today. Herve Humler, President and COO, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company In this groundbreaking new book, Micah Solomon manages to distill the wisdom of some of America's most enlightened hospitality professionals.

The Heart of Hospitality illustrates that ultimately it is the human connection that builds and sustains guest loyalty. This is an inspirational and useful book for anyone interested in customer satisfaction. Is there anyone who isn't? Patrick O'Connell, Chef/Proprietor, The Inn at Little Washington An incredibly valuable look at the hospitality industry, hospitality management, and how to succeed with today's (and tomorrow's) guests. Sara Kearney, Vice President, Hyatt Hotels Corporation It's ironic, but many people and organizations in our industry fail because they lack knowledge and insight for how to provide true hospitality, how to truly care for the guest. That's why The Heart of Hospitality is so important. It steps in to fill this gap. And it fills it with knowledge from the very best: hospitality icons Isadore Sharp, founder and chairman of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Herve Humler, president and COO of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Danny Meyer, president and CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, and so many more. Micah Solomon has interviewed the key executives from hospitality's best, including those from The Broadmoor and The Inn at Little Washington, Montage, Fairmont, EDITION, and Virgin Hotels and has merged their insights with his own as one of the best and best-known customer service experts himself. Their collective insight focuses on all the key ingredients to deliver an exceptional guest experience - hiring the right people, developing the necessary internal systems and hospitality standards, creating the proper service culture, defining steps for service recovery and visualizing anticipatory service, as well as offering fascinating and essential discussions on how technology has and will change the guest experience. Bill Quiseng, Hospitality-industry GM (Radisson, Renaissance, Autograph Collection) Micah Solomon has gathered all of the great hospitality industry heroes, hotel management practitioners and great restaurateurs together and pulled crucial hospitality management and business insights out of them. This is transformational to the reader who wants to thrive in the challenging world of hospitality and hospitality management.
