Independent Hotels in Smaller Markets Have What Millennial Business Travelers Want


Hotel Concord provides ample amenities for the largest demographic in business travel.


Business travelers have long been an important customer base for big chain hotels in large cities. Why else would so many hotels be located next to an airport? But as the core of the business travel market shifts away from Baby Boomers to Millennials, hotels are finding more and more business travelers are seeking a personalized, boutique experience when they’re working away from home.


The Hotel Concord, located on Main Street in Concord, New Hampshire, a AAA Four Diamond hotel, understands that today’s business travelers are looking for more than free wifi and a continental breakfast, and focused on this segment of the travel market when designing the hotel’s 38 well-appointed rooms.
“The Hotel Concord offers a higher level of service and a comfortable sense of place hard to find in larger hotels,” said David V. Shamoian, President & CEO of the Bravo Zulu Hospitality Group, which manages The Hotel Concord. “Guests feel like they are in the heart of New Hampshire’s capital city from the moment they enter the lobby with a full view of Concord’s Main Street. Each room is different, and round-the-clock concierge service ensures the needs of each business guest are cared for.”

This enormous segment grew up with mobile devices in hand and expect to stay connected wherever they go. Not only does The Hotel Concord offer high-speed internet to guests, but each room includes an Amazon Echo dot and Alexa-enabled devices for a truly high-end and hands-free experience. Guests can send emails and review notes at the well-lit workspace and recharge their devices using the multiple USB charging ports.
