At the Hotel Northampton, says Michael Kolesar, director of sales and marketing, the focus is on hospitality, from the bellman who greets visitors to front-desk staff who remember guests from visit to visit. "People are looking for a historic experience when they travel," he says, explaining the appeal of the 1927 hotel. "They're looking outside the brand box."
