Founder
Alanna Schroeder
Before competing with hotels, I realized, we must tear a page or two from their playbook. Faded sheets and mismatched towels have no place in a game-changing industry! And so I created The Distinguished Guest to introduce rental businesses to the best hospitality-tested linens and products on the market.
You may have known TDG in its old form—as a supplier and marketplace.
We still have a select few items in our online store, but as of 2018, we’ve shifted our focus. In our new form, we’re an educational portal and your go-to source for hospitality data, advice, and inspiration. Let us guide you toward the best industry events, products, people, and marketing strategies for small/independent hospitality providers!
