00:00 You say you get a lot of international guests who have been to many of the world's great
00:10 hotels.
00:11 What's the most often compared to?
00:16 Often compared to quite a few.
00:17 I suppose in the last year the names that have come up most frequently are the Dorchester
00:25 Hotel in London and the Glen Eagles Hotel in Scotland.
00:29 There's lots of modern hotels, there's lots of really cutting edge places that really
00:33 speak to the times that we're in, but there's something really timeless about the Hyatt.
00:37 It really feels quite similar probably to when it was open in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s
00:43 and 60s.
00:44 Absolutely.
00:45 I think they don't make hotels like this anymore.
00:50 If you think about the footprint of the property spread across so many acres and just the large
00:58 rooms, the attention to detail with the woodwork, the crown moldings, you just don't see hotels
01:08 and resorts like this anymore.
