They're betting on life springing back to normal, and on places like New York and Miami, while also diversifying their portfolio with strategies built to meet this moment.

Moniqua Lane checks back in with Amy on post-pandemic hotelier life, current projects, and future hospitality plans. Moniqua shares some silver linings born out of the pandemic, including The Citizen Tucson Hotel, her upcoming UNESCO-backed food hall partnership, a glamping project on an Arizona winery, and why representation matters when it comes to DMOs. Moniqua first appeared on episodes 21 and 22 to talk about The Downtown Clifton Hotel in September 2020.
