Fulfilled within his own label, the only way for him to sustain the "feeling" he gets out of his work, is to go across the board. There are only few that get "it", and this field trip should be umpressive to follow. Ian schrager is genius, but accomplished.

Schrager's anti-hip will probably become the new hip. Lewis, you say "Most of my readers cared about..." That's the problem. Too many people go for 'Most of.' Instead, sometimes it is more beneficial to target the insatiable appetites of the niche. 'Most of's will be perfectly happy with most of the other hotels. I agree.

It will be a great market for those who figure it out -- so it may be worth the risks to test their tastes:-) Thanks for the post.

But that seems a fickle market -- since by it's very nature it's a market that's constantly evolving....like, well, Ian is doing with his business. In either case, it seems that all of the points Lewis mentions -- comfortable room, location, service, etc. -- need to be hit in addition to the hip or anti-hip factor. One question: Just what *is* "eclectic bohemian," anyway? There’s probably a market that cares about hip (or anti-hip, in this case).

As a former travel writer, most of my readers cared about a comfortable room, good food, good location and good service. Now that's hip in my book. How many travelers care about hip or anti-hip?
