| Abstract: | In developing the brand essence for its embryonic chain of deluxe properties, Metropolitan Hotels, a Canadian chain, wanted to understand the underpinnings of luxury: what it is, how it is perceived, and what attributes or triggers make luxury work. To answer those questions, the company's managers and the author devised a qualitative study that would explore the underpinnings of luxury at an emotional and experiential level. To this end, they conducted focus groups in Vancouver and Toronto that comprised high-end business travelers in various age groups. |
