The Experience Ecology
A BRAND AND HOSPITALITY EVALUATION BY GENERAL EARTH

Every hotel has an experience ecology: a living system made up of people, spaces, service, operations and the countless interactions that connect them. When one element thrives, it strengthens the whole. When something is out of balance, guests feel it and the experience starts to erode.
The Experience Ecology looks beyond individual moments to understand how the entire ecosystem is functioning, revealing opportunities to strengthen connection, remove friction and create experiences that guests remember long after they've left.

The Groundwork
The Experience Ecology is a service offered by Lindsay McCarthy, a creative hospitality expert.
Drawing on more than 12 years leading brand standards, operations and creative strategy globally for Ace Hotel and other lifestyle properties around the world, she bridges the practical with the emotional - helping hotels uncover what is working, identify what is missing and cultivate the conditions for more meaningful guest experiences.
She guides creative teams in translating brand narratives into tangible guest experiences and partners with property teams to bring those ideas to life, all whilst executing with operational efficiency and unreasonable hospitality.
