Revo, Longevity, HITT resources: Hot phases

Maria Pütz-Willems

Dear Insider, 

The Revo insolvency proceedings are currently in Phase 2, which, with the 'newly opened' insolvency hotels, also provides somewhat more transparency. At the same time, creditors are beginning to lodge their claims. Potential buyers move in the background. It is still unclear whether some are readying to acquire Revo Hospitality or whether the whole thing will end in a break-up. The two leading hotel insolvency lawyers spoke to the media, and we also spoke to other insiders. 

What's the evidence? The topic of longevity is just as controversial, but it's a hype created by marketing. In TV adverts, toothpaste is already promising a longer life… My equally sceptical colleague Bärbel Schwertfeger interviewed an even more sceptical scientist from the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne, Germany. He points out that the striking results seen in mice that have received the 'longevity vaccine' but warns that the same results in people keen to live longer might still be a little way off yet. Let the facts speak for themselves! My grandmother already knew some of that too. A must-read for wellness hotels.

New brands and people are shaping the Italian hospitality industry. Are you already familiar with Raro Resorts plans, the new operator LVRH, Le Graal as a luxury hotel partner, or UNA as a proponent of management contracts? Massimiliano Sarti knows all about them. ... More

HI+Revo Insolvency, Phase 2

Greater transparency in operations, sales pitches, staff losses

The insolvency lawyers handling the Revo Hospitality case are working on the 121 insolvent companies for which proceedings have now officially commenced. 25 hotels have a new operator. Two administrators are in talks with potential buyers, a group which is believed to include Ruslan Husry. Such progress could still all amount to nothing though.

Longevity: What's the evidence?

HI+Longevity: What's the evidence?

A scientist takes a highly critical look at the desire to live longer

Biohacking, the microbiome, genetic testing or drugs such as metformin – these are unfamiliar but highly topical terms in the Longevity boom, which generally promises to extend life expectancy. So people aren't going to age anymore? What's the evidence? Dr Sebastian Grönke, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne, remains critical and objective.

The HospitalityInside Think Tank (HITT) 2026, taking place on 11–12 May in Brussels, will focus intensively on the interplay between artificial intelligence, sustainable supply chains and human management. As an exclusive “off-the-record” forum, the event at The Hoxton Hotel provides an interactive setting for dialogue between industry leaders and experts.

Understanding resources, linking them to innovation

Understanding resources, linking them to innovation

Gut feeling is no longer a resilience strategy; numbers count – networked data. And experience, best practices. The HospitalityInside Think Tank 2026 examines how technology and innovation are fundamentally recalibrating the operational performance of hotels and reducing real estate risks. The first three catalysts are here: Misa Labarile from the EU Commission, Nicolas Guichard from the Japanese architecture firm KKAA and Marc Zornes from Winnow in the USA.

"Driving Performance in a Disrupted World"

And experience live in the group what your AI profile looks like and how AI guides you to an early warning system. The registration form is ready.
