Welcome to the Green & Healthy Places podcast episode 56, I’m your host Matt Morley, Founder of Biofilico wellness real estate and in this episode I’m in London talking to boutique hotel expert Iain Ainsworth.

Iain is the Founder of The Aficionados (2015-present) a reference for travel culture and lifestyle that promotes neat edits of hotels, creators and craftsmen as well as its sister company White Line Hotels (2009-present) a marketing network for hoteliers.

He was previously Executive VP of Design Hotels from 2004-2008 and Regional Director of Sales and Marketing for Concorde Hotels from 2000-2004 so he’s a hospitality insider through and through.

I took the opportunity to take the temperature on wellness and sustainability in his corner of the industry today, so we cover everything from eco-friendly hotel amenities, sustainability certifications for hotels, the landscape hotel concept and various examples of sustainability initiatives from his member hotels in the Alps.
