Sir Rocco & Lydia Forte | Rocco Forte Hotels – A family business and a way of life

This is real, luxurious, family business! We had not only one but
two guests on the show! Sir Rocco Forte, Chairman and Lydia Forte,
Group Director of F&B at Rocco Forte Hotels brought some great
topics and giggles to this episode with Fritz, recorded at the
famous The Browns Hotel in London on Sir Rocco’s birthday. The
#RoccoForte vibe isn't just a concept, it's a way of life and you
can hear this in every word. Decades of family dedication have
created this brand. Each hotel tells a story, blending local
heritage with personalized service that leaves guests and staff
feeling like part of the family. Lydia and Sir Rocco spilled a
bunch of secrets on how the #luxuryhotel brand developed over the
years and their take on F&B and the impact (new) restaurants
have on the whole identity of a hotel concept. Of course, Fritz had
to ask about the future of the 5-star collection, following the
recent announcement of a partial sale to Saudi Arabia’s wealth fund
PIF. We are so excited about this episode that we are about to
swing from the chandelier. Tune in to the full episode on our
website. Enjoy the show!
