How to Build the Future of Soft Brands in Short-Term Rentals — Michael Goldin, Storied Collection
Meet Michael Goldin, Co-Founder of the Storied Collection — an exclusive collection of historic estates, castles and other unique residences-turned-accommodations, situated across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Michael and his wife were searching for a much needed vacation as covid rules across the world began to subside.
They dreamed of staying in a beautiful castle, but the search was rather difficult and the historic properties were particularly hard to find.
After hours and hours of research, Michael finally found the perfect property… a property his family lineage could actually be traced to! The decision to book that property was a no brainer.
Tune into how this experiential feeling at the intersection of exploration and history led him to find co-founders to start Storied, a collection of the most richly historic and enjoyable places to stay in the world.
Michael is also one of the hosts of Good Morning Hospitality — stream the weekly morning show here or wherever you get your podcasts.
