Mr. Fein

Lewis Fein

CEO, Lewis Fein Communications

Lewis Fein is an analyst and writer about the hotel industry. His insights, gathered during many years of travel and correspondence with hotel executives from a variety of resorts and business destinations, afford Mr. Fein a more iconoclastic approach to discussing the importance of leadership among hoteliers. That approach extends to his work on behalf of Clear Sky Recovery, with its emphasis on customized and compassionate patient care.

Mr. Fein's work on behalf of individual hotels and assorted brands - including, respectively, technology companies, health and wellness consultants, independent retailers, and makers of fashion and lifestyle accessories - gives him a heightened appreciation for the way strong leaders can inspire patrons and staff alike.

A former speechwriter, Mr. Fein understands the importance of language, its nuances and precision, as well as its call to action and summons to greatness. The words are but one part of a twofold basis of leadership, followed by deeds of intelligence and wisdom. Applying those principles in a practical way is an inseparable element of the duties Mr. Fein performs, resulting in favorable media coverage for the companies he represents and the counsel he provides for many executives and entrepreneurs.

A graduate of Brandeis University, with a concentration in Politics and History, Mr. Fein also has a law degree from The Emory University School of Law. He lives with his wife and daughter in Los Angeles, California.

Hotel Spa: Pursuing Distinction

The Wellness Movement continues to evolve and hotel spas continue to innovate in order to keep pace. Fueled by intense competition within the industry, hotel spas are seeking creative ways to differentiate themselves in the market. An increasing number of customers are searching for very specific, niche treatments that address their particular health concerns and, as a result, some leading spas have achieved distinction by offering only one specialized treatment. Meditation and mindfulness practices are becoming increasingly mainstream as are alternative treatments and therapies, such as Ayurvedic therapies, Reiki, energy work and salt therapy. Some spas specialize in stress management and offer lifestyle coaching sessions as part of their program. Other spas are fully embracing new technologies as a way to differentiate themselves, such as providing wearable devices that track health and fitness biomarkers, or robots programmed with artificial intelligence to control spa environments, or virtual reality add-ons that transport guests to relaxing places around the world. Some spas have chosen to specialize in medical procedures such as liposuction, laser skin therapy, phototherapy facials, Botox and facial fillers, acupuncture and permanent hair removal, in addition to cosmetic body shaping procedures and teeth whitening treatments. Similarly, other spas are offering comprehensive health check-ups and counseling services for those who are interested in disease prevention treatments. Finally, as hotel spas continue to become more diverse, accessible and specialized, there is a growing demand for health professionals with a specific area of expertise. There is a proliferation of top class, quality wellness practitioners who make a name for themselves by offering their services around the globe, including athletes, chefs, doctors, physical trainers and weight loss specialists. The July issue of the Hotel Business Review will report on these trends and developments and examine how some hotel spas are integrating them into their operations.
