Alexi Khajavi and Elaine Simon provide insight into the latest developments in hospitality, with a focus on the US and Europe this week. Development pipeline looks strong for New York with Los Angeles hot on its heels. 

While Desmond Taljaard, MD of L&R Hotels, discusses quarantine hotels with Alexi. What is the practicality of this incentive for hotels?

And news of Avistone investing in hotels shows further signs of optimism for the sector. Who else will "get a piece of the lodging pie?"
