Making the most out of The Stanza experience

The Stanza is an independent media platform discussing the business of hospitality from an investor’s perspective. “Stanza” means “room” in Italian, and the goal of the newsletter and podcast is to give you the feeling that you’re in the right room. The Stanza is not traditional journalism — you won’t find copy & pastes of press releases. Instead you’ll find insights informed by my institutional real estate investing experience, lifelong passion for hospitality, and my lived experience with the brands I talk about.

Content is distributed in four formats:

Weekly Digest

Every Friday, paid subscribers receive access to The Stanza’s deeper insights to make sense of what’s happening in the world of hospitality. Some popular & recent issues:

• Since when did everyone become obsessed with hospitality?

• The curse of having expensive taste

• An unlikely fashion billionaire is quietly buying hotels

• Is the new Birkin a luxury safari?

• What $7,000 PSF buys in Beverly Hills

*The Weekly Digests include a Classifieds section, where you’ll find hotels or properties for sale, investment opportunities, agency listings, and other interesting things for sale. To advertise in this section, email classifieds@thestanzamedia.com
