Based in the vibrant city of Miami, AMEK Group stands out as one of the few vertically integrated white-label hospitality companies. Known for blending traditional hotel management with tech company-style innovation, AMEK Group develops and operates both its own and third-party brands, supported by in-house architecture, food and beverage, sales and marketing, and skill-training firms. Co-founders and co-CEOs, Luis Gallotti and Lisandro León Liguori’s complementary skills and visionary leadership have driven the company’s rapid growth and success. With a commitment to conscious luxury and a robust portfolio of brands, AMEK Group is setting new industry standards. In this article, we explore what sets AMEK Group apart, the unique roles of its co-CEOs, and the exciting developments on the horizon for this pioneering Miami-based company. Q: What sets AMEK Group apart from other vertically integrated white-label hospitality groups?  AMEK Group stands out because we are one of the few, if not the only, vertically integrated white-label hospitality companies. We invest in, develop, and operate both our brands and third-party brands. Additionally, we support our growth strategy with a range of enterprises, including our own marketing, architecture, culinary, and skills training firms. We blend traditional hotel management with tech company innovation and creativity. This includes the development of unique concepts and brands, working with an innovative mindset, and a strong visual aspect. Q: Luis and Lisandro, why did you both decide to take on the title of CEO, and how do you balance your roles? As founders, it was natural for us to lead the company. We divide responsibilities based on our backgrounds and geographical locations, allowing us to capitalize on our strengths. Having two CEOs has been crucial to our rapid expansion and growth. We divide meetings and make all major decisions together. We complement each other as co-CEOs, each with distinct focuses, strengths, and roles. Luis excels in Operations, Finance, and Business Development, while Lisandro excels in Marketing/Branding, Product, and Business Strategy. An analogy from our shared basketball experience as kids might help: like Malone and Stockton, we play distinct but complementary roles, making us more effective together than apart. Our human capital growth strategy is bottom-up rather than the traditional top-down approach. This ensures that our line staff and junior leaders have direct access to us during critical company moments. Sharing our vision firsthand in every meeting and keeping a close pulse on every detail allows us to regularly check and balance what is happening within the organization. Q: One unique aspect of your business is AMEK University, in association with Lobster Ink. Could you provide more details about what this includes? While Lobster Ink is a provider that anyone can access, the unique aspect for us is AMEK University. We created this enterprise to recruit and train local communities around our properties at least 18 months before opening day. Our local hiring rate is above 90% in all properties, and our retention rates surpass market standards. Q: Mile Zero is a fascinating initiative your business participates in. How and why did you decide to get involved with this? As part of our Conscious Luxury approach, we focus on developing and operating in places where we can positively impact consumers, the community, and the planet. Our commitment to the environment and social impact naturally led us to adopt an inside-out approach, sourcing resources locally first. Mile Zero is most relevant for the AKEN brand, which stands for Awaken Kindness, and Empathy for Nature. Q: How do you choose the locations for your AKEN properties, and what are the differences between Soul, Mind, and Spirit properties? We often select opportunities in emerging markets where we can add significant value, creating destinations in their own right. Our portfolio is divided into Mind, Soul, and Spirit properties, distinguished by their Average Daily Rate (ADR) and market positioning. Mind represents upscale hotels, Soul is upper-upscale, and Spirit denotes luxury properties. We target a mix of emerging markets and primary and secondary cities to achieve a balanced portfolio. Q: What new and exciting developments are coming up for the company? We are currently developing 11 projects and will focus on highlighting our upcoming developments. These include the AKEN Spirit, Mandarina Resort and Residences in Nayarit, Mexico, and our first ultra-luxury resort in the Middle East. We’re also entering North America soon and are very excited about our expansion into booming cities. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of AMEK Group.

We all admire those gorgeous pictures on Instagram or Pinterest of beautifully decorated homes with a ton of greenery. But you shouldn’t stop at just admiring – you can have your own little green paradise at home! Also, plants improve air quality by filtering out toxins, which helps create a healthier environment for you to breathe in. They also bring a sense of calm and relaxation, naturally reducing stress levels. Whether through colorful floral arrangements or robust leafy greens, nature at home creates an inviting atmosphere that benefits both mind and body. If you’re ready to make the first steps toward infusing elements of nature into your living space, then you’re on the right page.  We have a few easy-to-follow tips that will help you transform your space in no time.  Best Indoor Plants Suited for a Hot Climate Florida’s climate is not always the most friendly towards plant species that like the shade or colder areas. But don’t worry, there are lots of plants that love the hot and humid weather, such as any of these: Snake Plant (Sansevieria) –  This plant is a powerhouse of resilience. It tolerates low light and infrequent watering. Perfect for busy lifestyles. Peace Lily  (Spathiphyllum) –  Known for its elegant white blooms, it enjoys shady spots with occasional watering to keep the soil moist. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) –  Famed for air-purifying properties, it requires minimal attention and bright indirect sunlight to flourish. Aloe Vera – Great in sunny locations. Also, if you get a sunburn, the leaves secret a very refreshing and calming gel. ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) – With glossy leaves that endure neglect, this plant suits nearly any spot inside your home without fussing over light or water needs. Boston Fern  (Nephrolepis exaltata) –  This lush plant excels at absorbing formaldehyde, xylene, and other harmful chemicals, so it will clean your air while looking fabulous. Most of these plants fit well into a minimalist decor  as they offer clean lines and simple, elegant forms that complement uncluttered spaces. Of course, they’ll do just fine in a busier environment as long as you give them enough space to stretch their leaves. If you don’t like having potted plants in the house, you can always order a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers online. It may be a bit unconventional since most people use these services to  send fresh flowers  to events and celebrations, but who cares?  How to Incorporate Natural Textures and Materials Plants are not the only way to incorporate nature into your home. Natural fibers and materials like cotton, wool, linen, wood, and so on are also a great way to surround yourself with the calming essence of the outdoors. Natural textures and materials add warmth and depth to your interior decor. Opt for throws and pillows made from cotton, wool, or linen to make it seem more natural and create a cozy atmosphere.  Wooden furniture pieces bring character with their timeless appeal, while stone accents like countertops or bowls offer rugged elegance. Incorporate woven baskets from rattan or jute as both functional storage and stylish decor. Enhance this setup by combining greenery with textured pots such as terracotta or clay for a subtle earthiness that complements lush plants. Incorporate these elements and others to introduce warmth and texture while maintaining an organic aesthetic that resonates throughout your living space. Create an Outdoor-Inspired Color Palette Inside Besides plants and natural fibers, colors are also a great way to bring nature indoors. By choosing an outdoor-inspired color palette for the inside, you bring a fresh and lively feel to any space.  Start by selecting colors found in natural settings -think sky blues, leafy greens, and earthy browns. These tones evoke calmness and vitality. Combine them with neutral shades like whites or grays as a backdrop.  To complete the design, add splashes of vibrant colors reminiscent of flowers or foliage. Also, don’t be afraid to use unusual textures, like sponge painting or ombre effects, to mirror textures seen in nature, like cloudy skies or sandy beaches. Wrap Up Embrace nature's influence by transforming your home into a serene sanctuary. Incorporate lush greenery, natural materials, and outdoor-inspired hues to create a harmonious space that rejuvenates and inspires.  Let the tranquility of the outdoors nurture every corner of your environment for a truly inviting living experience.

Sunglasses are some of the hottest luxury accessories in the fashion world, going beyond their practical purpose of UV protection and becoming a must-have style staple. Celebrities flaunt luxury sunglasses  everywhere, from prestigious award shows to sporting events alike, and their lower price point compared to other high-end goods makes them a more accessible premium item for everyday consumers. While there’s no shortage of luxury brands and retailers to cater to the demand, few have seen the massive growth of Sunglass Hut. It began as a small business in 1971, starting as a kiosk in the Miami Dadeland Mall. Eventually, its success allowed it to expand across Miami, the rest of the United States, and internationally.  Establishing its e-commerce platform in 1998 and joining the EssilorLuxottica group two years later boosted the business even further. Today, it operates over 3,000 retail locations worldwide and boasts a strong e-commerce presence, but the company is constantly moving forward. Here’s what helped make Sunglass Hut go from a Miami mall kiosk to a global luxury sunglasses retailer: Customer-focused innovations Technology has been reshaping the eyewear industry, especially for e-commerce channels. A significant challenge for the online space was guiding consumers to the right frames, as these couldn’t be tried on before purchase, unlike in physical locations. Sunglass Hut capitalized on advanced technology to provide shoppers with innovative tools that simulate the try-on process and offer personalized recommendations.  Sunglass Hut’s frame advisor tool analyzes a person’s face shape, face size, and features to create a tailor-made array of the best glasses for face shape  that flatter and add balance. It also suggests a color palette based on skin undertone, hair color, and eye color to complement and highlight natural features. After choosing a potential style, the virtual try-on technology simulates how the pair of sunglasses looks on a person’s face. These innovations make shopping for sunglasses online much easier and more luxurious, replicating the personalized service one might experience in a store. It helps customers narrow down their choices and feel satisfied with their pick, benefiting the business by reducing returns and strengthening e-commerce.  Omnichannel initiatives Though Sunglass Hut has made significant strides in enhancing e-commerce, it also ensures its brick-and-mortar stores showcase its commitment to creating the best shopping experiences, regardless of where consumers decide to shop. Its physical locations are designed to exude luxury, creating a premium ambiance that feels inviting to all kinds of consumers. Despite high-end offerings, Sunglass Hut aims to make its sunglasses more accessible with touchpoints in prime retail locations , partnering with Hudson to open more standalone outlets, branded corners, or kiosks in the US and Canada markets.  Technology is also integrated into its stores, marrying the online world with in-person shopping for a strong omnichannel strategy. In-store digital shopping tools help customers explore products in greater detail or easily find a pair they’re looking for. Sunglass Hut also rewards online and in-person shoppers with its omnichannel multi-tier loyalty program , The Sun Club. Participants can enjoy birthday and anniversary rewards, gifts with purchases, exclusive product launches, and more. They earn points for online or in-store purchases, encouraging consumers to explore both shopping avenues. Looking to the future Sunglass Hut has made innovation a core part of its business model, but aside from adopting current advancements, the company also invests in emerging technologies and aims to create an impact for the future. As the metaverse grew and more and more people became interested in interacting with virtual worlds, Sunglass Hut made sure to offer something for tech-savvy clientele. By partnering with the virtual avatar platform Ready Player Me, customers could claim free virtual sunglasses from brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley for their avatars using the SmartShopper screens in select stores. Investing in the growing metaverse hype and encouraging consumers to visit physical locations also strengthens brand awareness for new demographics.  Sunglass Hut also recognizes its role in the future of eye health and is positioned to improve and protect people’s vision. It’s been a long-time partner of the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, which helps correct patients’ vision with prescription eyewear and protect their eyes with sunglasses. Under-resourced communities and students in the US benefit from the foundation’s care initiatives , and Sunglass Hut has also raised $27 million through customer donations. Sunglass Hut helps provide the best service and care to its clientele and those who struggle to afford basic eye care needs, helping improve sight for future generations. By ML staff.
