Major Wellness Hotels Stage Top-Line Comeback in 2024
Major Wellness hotels had a standout top-line performance in 2024, generating more than twice as much TRevPAR as No Wellness hotels. Minor Wellness posted the highest rise in RevPAR and TRevPAR growth during 2024 and were the best performers in the Luxury and the Upper Upscale categories. Occupancy remained largely stable across the board in 2024. Average ancillary revenue, a key part of TRevPAR, was somewhat lower than in 2023. Major Wellness outperformed Minor Wellness in leisure performance and was the only group that could also raise per-room F&B revenue, albeit just slightly. Minor Wellness continued to lead in profit conversion, although Major Wellness hotels sharply improved GOPPAR results in the Upscale category Hotels with Major Wellness offerings –– those receiving over $1mn or 10% of total revenue from wellness and leisure –– had a strong performance in revenue generation globally in 2024, hospitality advisor RLA Global said in its latest Wellness Real Estate Report, published in partnership with P&L benchmarking firm HotStats for the 6th year in 2025. Average TRevPAR at Major Wellness properties was 56% higher than at Minor Wellness hotels, and exceeded that of hotels with no wellness services by a striking 108%. Minor Wellness continued to lead in RevPAR and TRevPAR growth in 2024, although Major Wellness assets increased revenue KPIs by up to 160% in the Upscale hotel category, according to the report findings. Major Wellness hotels also fared better in Upscale in terms of absolute profit. 'Major Wellness hotels came roaring back in 2024, displaying a standout top-line performance in TRevPAR and RevPAR and impressive year-on-year growth rates in the Upscale category. The all-important bottom line performance showed Major Wellness outperforming Minor Wellness in GOPPAR in absolute terms in 2024, but Minor Wellness had higher year-on-year GOPPAR growth compared to 2023,' Roger A. Allen, Group CEO of RLA Global, said. 'Major Wellness assets in the upscale segment are now outperforming even luxury properties in total revenue per room — a clear sign that traditional assumptions about service levels and positioning are being challenged. This shift could have significant implications for how capital is allocated and how future developments are designed,' Rachael Rothman, Head of Hotels Research and Data Analytics at CBRE, said. Occupancy rates remained largely stable in 2024, slightly up at Major and Minor Wellness hotels and a bit down at hotels with no wellness offerings. Ancillary spending was somewhat lower than in 2023, and accounted for 56% of TRevPAR at Major Wellness and 38% at Minor Wellness. 'Occupancy is holding steady, showing that travel demand remains strong. But hotels can't just ride the wave anymore — with revenue growth starting to soften, the real challenge is unlocking more on-property spend, especially in wellness, where guest demand is high but monetisation still lags,' Michael Grove, CEO of HotStats, said. Major Wellness properties had a healthy leisure performance with a profit conversion of 49%. Payroll represents 35% of their leisure income, suggesting significant staff requirements, but departmental expenses are minimal at 16%, reflecting efficient operational spending. Major Wellness was the only group that could increase F&B revenue per occupied room in 2024, but just by 1% – suggesting that TRevPAR is mainly driven by the rooms and leisure departments. 'As wellness offerings evolve, it's clear that operational efficiency and targeted F&B concepts in Minor Wellness properties are driving profitability, while Major Wellness must look beyond traditional offerings to sustain growth,' Edward Harvey, Director at Elevate FB, said. Important industry trends the Wellness Real Estate Report identified in 2025 include the return to foundational health habits increasingly driving wellness space design, experiences outvaluing opulence in luxury living, and hotels prioritise sleep to repeat business, among others. The annual Wellness Real Estate Report and its mid-year updates evaluate average hotel performance based on HotStats data covering over 11,000 Major, Minor and No Wellness hotels of different classes worldwide. Processing property-level KPI results, such as ADR, occupancy rates, TRevPAR, GOPPAR and GOP, the report and its updates present how wellness contributes to hotel revenue flows and operating costs, and what effects it has on margins and profits.

Auto review: Hands-free in the Caddy ‘Baby Escalade' Vistiq
The Baby Escalade is Cadillac's most mature electric vehicle. The Vistiq is the fifth and final piece in the GM luxury brand's EV squadron and, at $79,290, its combination of size, speed and tech make it the best value of the quintet. That value is relative as Caddy's EV lineup makes a big move to the ultra-luxury EV market (led by its $340K Celestiq flagship) over its outgoing internal combustion models. Expect the EVs to cost $20,000-$40,000 more than their ICE peers. My all-wheel-drive Luxury model asks a 30-grand premium over the comparable $50K gas-powered XT6 Luxury model, which is retiring after this year. On Patterson Lake Road's rollercoaster in Livingston County, I confidently leapt from turn to turn in the three-ton, three-row, three-story Vistiq despite its girth. Thanks to the 102-kWh battery's location in the basement, my tester sported a low center of gravity to stay planted through the twisties. That low CG is an EV trait - but in the smaller Optiq and Lyriq crossovers, it's, um, outweighed by a lack of nimbleness compared to their 1,000-pound-lighter internal-combustion engine peers. In a three-row SUV class where everything tips the scales over two tons, however, the low CG stands out. Add rear-wheel steer in upper Premium Luxury and Platinum trims, and this is a rhinoceros in tennis shoes. The rear-drive feature is shared with Papa Escalade IQ, but the electric family's patron will set you back another (cough) 40 grand. ZOT! I buried my right foot and Vistiq hit 60 mph in a fantast-iq 3.9 seconds merging onto I-94 West. Baby Escalade coming through! Vistiq is also a technology showpiece. Without taking my eyes off the road, I toggled the raised adaptive cruise switch on the steering wheel and set my speed at 75 mph, then fingered a nearby braille pad for Super Cruise. The steering wheel lit green for hands-free driving. While Baby Escalade took over driving duties, I rearranged icons on the 33-inch curved dash screen as I would my phone. I dragged icons for DRIVE MODES, CHARGING and SELF PARK ASSIST (features I used frequently) to the left side of the screen. GM pioneered hands-free driving in 2017, and has been neck-and-neck with Tesla ever since. Tesla's Full-Self-Driving system leap-frogged GM cars last year when it went hands-free with navigation, enabling its cars to take you door-to-door across secondary roads and divided highways. Super Cruise is slowly adding secondary roads to its network of mapped, divided highways - but it won't navigate. What it will do, like Tesla, is automatically change lanes. At 75 mph, Vistiq sensed slower traffic, automatically applied its turn signal, moved into the fast lane and swept by a line of cars. Safely clear, it automatically pulled back into the slower lane. Terrif-iq. Approaching my off ramp, Tesla FSD would automatically transition to the slower secondary road. The Caddy? It handed driving duties back to me, the steering wheel light turning red. Super Cruise comes standard on Vistiq for three years, plenty of time for owners to learn the system. You won't want to go back. Not standard is an augmented reality head-up display available on Premium Luxury and Platinum trims. Caddy's been a HUD pioneer, and AR advances the game by placing directions over the road ahead. Alas, my standard Luxury version did not option even a regular head-up display. Neither did it have a frunk for storage like the Escalade IQ - or Rivian and Tesla models. Baby Escalade doesn't have big brother's curved, A-pillar-to-A-pillar 55-inch jumbotron, but the 33-incher does just fine, thank you very much. Especially as the touchscreen is paired with the same console climate touchscreen found in Escalade. Like a scarf and mittens, they make a nice pair. Not that I touched them much. Vistiq is powered by Google Built-in, so I could talk to the car for many of my needs. Hey, Google, turn the driver's side temperature to 68 degrees. Hey, Google, tune to Sirius XM Comedy Greats. Hey, Google, Tell, me a joke. Google: How do trees access the Internet? They log in. Hey, Google, what was the score of the Tigers game? Google: The Tigers won on Wednesday, 6-5 against the Red Sox. Pick up the kids from school in my Luxury tester and it will fit seven passengers across three rows including bench, second-row seats (captain's chairs optional). Even the third row is comfortable, accommodating my long 6'5" frame. If the second row is empty, I encourage taking a seat in the third row. I dropped the second-row bench seat and used it like an ottoman - stretching my legs so I could work on my trips, however, are three-row EVs' kryptonite. The Escalade IQ is so expensive because it packs a mighty 202-kWh battery with 460 miles of range. Vistiq keeps its cost below $100K with a 102-kWh battery that makes similar range (302 miles) as little brothers Lyriq and to your cottage up north (in perfect 70-degree weather) going 75 mph on I-75 and real range is 225 miles - or 75% of EPA estimates. In truth, your range will be 181 miles because charging to over 80% of battery range at a fast charger slows to a we there yet? To prevent hearing those infamous words from your kids, a 250-mile trip north (to, say, Charlevoix) is best done with one charging stop in Bay City for 20 minutes so the kids can tinkle and stretch their legs. In less ideal temperatures, your range could crater to 50% as it did in a brutal three-stop, subfreezing December trip I took in one of Vistiq's competitors, the $78K Kia EV9 GT-Line, a couple of years back. If you have a second home, install a 240-volt charger to ease end-to-end range anxiety. Staying in a hotel? Find lodgings with 240-volt charger so you can charge your battery to 100% overnight for a fresh a.m. start. Faced with these restrictions, GM buyers may prefer a comparably priced family-sized Chevy Tahoe with Google Built-in, 456 miles of range and more third-row seat and cargo room. Or (horrors) you might cross the road to a Lincoln dealer and pick up a $62K three-row Aviator ICE with Blue Cruise hands-free driving and 505 miles of if you want a three-row EV that can drive you hands-free across Michigan, then Baby Escalade has a leg up on peers from Rivian, Volvo, Hyundai and Kia.

Calming respite at Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa
Suggest a Honolulu vacation to clients, and the response will almost inevitably include a desire to stay in Waikiki, with its gorgeous beaches, exclusive shops, trendy restaurants and buzzy nightlife. But of course, all that buzz adds up to crowds. The Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa bucks that arithmetic, offering the chance to truly get away on a Hawaii vacation getaway. The hotel is the tower on the right, and the Sky Deck can be seen on the 8th floor above Kapiolani Boulevard. Photo Credit: Courtesy of Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa The 39-story Renaissance opened in 2024, the first newbuild hotel in Honolulu in two decades. It's the brand's first on Oahu. What made the idea of staying there so enticing to me was its location. The luxury hotel is situated on Kapiolani Boulevard about 2 miles outside Waikiki and is a short stroll from the world's largest open-air mall, the Ala Moana Center. I'm familiar with the city and actually prefer that area when I'm in Honolulu. The streets are easier to navigate, it's quicker to get to the highway for some island exploration and, overall, there are fewer traffic jams. That alone takes away some of the stress that comes with visiting the urban island of Oahu. The other great thing about it is that prices for food, gifts and other travel essentials are lower because the stores are outside of Waikiki, where prices tend to get marked up. Walmart and Sam's Club are also within walking distance of the hotel. A Premier King Ocean View residence with floor-to-ceiling windows, some of which can be opened to let in ocean breezes. Photo Credit: Courtesy of Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa Guestrooms and residences The Renaissance Honolulu is split into two types of accommodations: hotel rooms from floors 15 to 29 and residences from floors 30 to 39. Residences are set up like apartments, with studios and one- and two-bedroom options, in-room washer and dryer and a fully equipped kitchen. I stayed in one of those residences, a corner Premier King Ocean View residence on the 34th floor. It had a large entryway with a full-size mirror. The bathroom featured a soaking tub, and the king bed was plush with white bedding. The kitchen included a stove, oven, sink and a compact Sub-Zero refrigerator that was larger than a typical minifridge. I was ecstatic about the washer and dryer, since I was on an extended Oahu stay. (Guests without an in-room washer and dryer have access to coin-operated laundromat on the 8th floor.) My room's wraparound views of the city and Ala Moana Beach, only about three blocks away, were spectacular. The floor-to-ceiling windows allowed for a full view, and the windows even opened to let in the ocean air. Gazing down on the Ala Moana Center gave me the urge to go shopping. The hotel offers a shuttle service, which takes guests to the mall as well as to Magic Island (a beach near Ala Moana Beach) and the Alohilani Resort in Waikiki, which is a good place to begin a day exploring Waikiki. The shuttle departs every two hours between 10 a.m and 8 p.m., but be sure to check the schedule with the valet. Since the Ala Moana Center is only a block away, I chose to walk there to find gifts for my family back home. The mall has more than 350 shops and restaurants, including Big Island Candies, ABC Stores, Hawaiian Island Creations, Hilo Hattie, Foodland Farms and Honolulu Cookie Company. The food court had a number of options, from mall staples like Chick-fil-A to places that serve poke, ramen and Korean barbecue. When I returned to the hotel two hours later, I stopped by its cafe, Lamill, the first Hawaii location of the Los Angeles-based coffee roaster. I ordered a latte with oat milk, which was handed to me with a design drawn into the foam. It tasted perfect. I spent some time back in my room, eating a bento I picked up from Foodland Farms while watching the day dim as the sun disappeared below the horizon. The hotel's Nami Spa offers Japanese-inspired indoor and outdoor soaking baths. Photo Credit: Courtesy of Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa Spa time The hotel's 8th floor is where the wellness amenities are located, including a large fitness center, 25-meter lap pool, family pool and whirlpool baths. I spent an afternoon enjoying that retreat, known as the Sky Deck, swimming for a bit before walking over to the Sway Pool Bar & Grill. I had the chicken club sandwich with fries, which was quite good, along with a virgin pina colada and then spent some time by the pool before heading back to my room. The hotel will be announcing another restaurant concept in May. The hotel's Nami Spa is open late, so I liked the idea of visiting it in the evening as a way to unwind. Guests can book massages and facials or pay a $35 fee to access the facility's amenities. There were only two other women there when I entered the spa, which features indoor and outdoor, Japanese-inspired ofuro hot soaking baths, a cold plunge, a Himalayan salt sauna and a steam room. I spent the majority of my time in the indoor and outdoor hot soaking tubs. When sitting, the water in these was neck high. I found it to be a perfect way to ease sore muscles and quiet the mind, just what I needed to end the day.

Driven: 2026 Genesis GV70 Shines a Little Brighter
"If it's not broke, make it better anyway." That was the gist of the product presentation for the revised 2026 Genesis GV70. It's a familiar pitch in the auto business and a largely expected one for a vehicle receiving only a modest mid-cycle update. Yet for the GV70 compact SUV, which as Genesis's bestselling model has arguably helped strengthen the still-nascent luxury brand's image more than anything else, it's a refreshing sentiment to hear. Since the GV70's introduction for 2022, we've tested multiple examples, awarded it three 10Best trophies and a comparison-test victory (against the BMW X3 and Lexus RX), and put one through our 40,000-mile wringer in a long-term evaluation. In short, we know the GV70 well and can attest that it didn't need much more than a simple shine job. View Photos Genesis To that end, the 2026 GV70, which is on sale now, retains what is a dashing, muscular shape for a compact SUV. So much so that you could mistake it for the outgoing model even if the two are parked side by side. To tell them apart, focus your gaze on the new GV70's gently revised grille texture, restyled bumpers, and new 19- and 21-inch wheel designs. The headlights and hood emblem also have been lightly tweaked, and there are new trapezoidal exhaust finishers out back. As before, Sport models wear slightly more aggressive facias and darkened accents, versus the bright chrome bits on lesser trims. A Deeper Well of Tech It's not until you slip behind the steering wheel that the latest updates are obvious, or at least less subtle. The chunkier, flat-bottomed wheel in Sport models is now more of a handful, and its revised controls have a more premium feel. And ambient lighting elements have crept higher up the door panels. But the big change is the addition of a standard configurable 27.0-inch OLED display on the dash for instrumentation and infotainment; this replaces the previous 14.5-inch center monitor, which stood separate from either a 12.3-inch cluster display or an 8.0-inch readout with analog gauges. View Photos Genesis With excellent visibility, crisp graphics, and an intuitive layout, the big screen is a welcome addition that reinforces Genesis's (and the Hyundai Motor Group's in general) prowess at presenting digital information. Additional tech highlights include improved voice recognition and over-the-air software updates, a new 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio option in place of the previous Lexicon stereo, an updated smartphone-based digital key interface, and an enhanced remote-parking assistant that can now slot the vehicle into diagonal and perpendicular spaces. The GV70's ergonomics are bolstered by the retention of a few physical buttons and knobs, plus straightforward HVAC and shortcut controls in new capacitive-touch panels that are better integrated into the dash and center console. The console itself also has been reworked—on the recommendations of U.S. customers, we're told—with redesigned cupholders and a smartphone charging pad relocated under the center armrest. You can still confuse the gear selector rotary knob and the one that operates the infotainment screen (the main section of the center monitor also is touch-sensitive), but they've been slightly rejiggered for easier identification. View Photos Genesis Our drive time was an indulgent experience in a fully loaded 3.5T Sport Prestige model, which has beautifully crafted materials, the aroma of rich leather, and generous comfort in the updated front seats with quilted stitching (and massage functions for the driver). A new electronic noise-canceling program helped temper the roar of the road on all but the coarsest surfaces, while enhanced active-safety features—namely improved lane-following and collision-avoidance assists—kept an extra eye out for trouble. Unfortunately, Genesis's hands-free adaptive-cruise system is not as adept on the highway as the leading systems from General Motors and Ford, with the GV70 wandering in its lane more than we'd like and regularly prompting us to retake control even around gentle bends. New capacitive sensors meant we could reassure the nannies by only briefly touching the steering wheel, rather than giving it a light tug as before, but we soon shut the system off. View Photos Genesis Sophisticated Road Manners The GV70 is more enjoyable to drive anyway, thanks in part to new suspension bushings, plus the 3.5T's ability to scan the road ahead for bumps and adjust its retuned adaptive dampers (2.5T models retain passive units). Combined with an available electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential and a new steering-wheel damper designed to limit kickback from the road, the result is an altogether more connected driving experience. This SUV still adroitly treads the line between luxury and sport. But its steering now feels a tad sharper, its wheel control (and thus ride quality) is better managed over pockmarked pavement, and its composure around corners is a smidge more refined. You can still fine-tune the GV70's temperament via Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and customizable My Mode drive settings, but several Terrain modes (Snow, Mud, and Sand) have been added for when things get messy. Though we've yet to drive a new version with the carryover 300-hp 2.5-liter turbo four, the step-up twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 is as familiar as it is potent, serving up 375 horses and 391 pound-feet of torque. Both engines remain backed by an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. Mass that's increased by a claimed couple hundred pounds will likely add a tenth of a second or two to each model's previous 60-mph times (4.6 seconds for the 3.5T, 5.6 seconds for the 2.5T). Fortunately, the weight gain has little if any negative effect on fuel economy, with the EPA combined rating ranging from 21 to 23 mpg. View Photos Genesis The similarly revised 2026 Electrified GV70, which we've yet to experience, should be quicker still. But we have few qualms with the smooth and satisfyingly mechanical nature of the internal-combustion models. Steering that feels a little heavier than it needs to be at parking-lot speeds is our main gripe thus far. While the 3.5T's $64,865 base price may give some buyers pause, many of the 2026 changes also apply to the $49,345 starter model, which should only help the GV70 remain one of our favorite small luxury SUVs. Genesis was wise to update it with a light touch.
