Exploring Evolving Operating Models with Industry Leaders
At SethiG, our journey has taken us through many sides of the hospitality world, first as a hotel-owning family, then as suppliers to some of the world’s leading brands, and today as consultants driving strategy and growth. These diverse experiences have given us a rare, 360° perspective on the industry.
With that perspective comes responsibility: the responsibility to foster dialogue, promote cohesiveness, and strengthen our hospitality ecosystem. That vision is what led us to create A Closer Look, a platform for candid, owner-operator conversations that matter.
Thursday, 4 September 2025
Marriott Sukhumvit, Bangkok
This year, we turn to one of the most critical questions facing hotel owners and investors: Which operating model truly delivers the best long-term value?
From global brand management agreements to white-label operators, franchise models, and full independence, each path carries its own opportunities and risks. The decision shapes not only operational performance but also asset value, risk exposure, and long-term sustainability.
Together with our partners, The Access Group, Sleepwell Group, Guestline, King Koil Thailand, and Dream Master Bedding, we are proud to convene leading voices from across the sector to share real-world insights and actionable frameworks.
The evening will feature:
Opening perspectives from respected industry leaders A bold and interactive panel discussion A relaxed networking reception with canapés and drinks
We are honored to welcome our distinguished speakers:
Prab Thakral – CEO, Boutique Corporation Public Company Limited
Marisa Sukosol Nunbhakdi – Director, Sukosol Hotels
Jens O. Reichert – VP Development, Accor
Marcus Hanna – COO, La Vie Hotels & Resorts
A Closer Look 2025 is an invitation-only event with limited capacity. If you are a hotel owner, executive, or developer interested in attending, please reach out to us directly.
We look forward to another evening of meaningful dialogue, honest perspectives, and new connections that continue to strengthen our hospitality community.
