E.143 Building Long Lane; A Wellness Hotel and Members Club with Loui Blake and Harrison Hide

This week in the kitchen, I'm joined by Loui Blake and Harrison Hide to discuss the creation of Long Lane, a groundbreaking wellness hotel and members’ club where wellbeing, longevity, and health take center stage. By blending the elegance of hospitality with the essence of wellness, they are crafting an experience that’s never been so in demand.While Long Lane’s journey has been shared on social media, this is Loui and Harrison's first podcast together, where they open up about their path to creating this unique space.Having grown up together in Norfolk, Loui and Harrison have followed different career paths—Loui has thrived in the hospitality industry, managing multiple restaurants, while Harrison transitioned from a football career to Wall Street, only to discover that true fulfillment comes not from wealth, but from feeling his best.In this episode, we dive deep into the process of building Long Lane, the experiences so far, the offerings of the venue, and what makes it the first of its kind.Topics discussed:What is Long LaneHarrison can you share your wellness journey?Why do you think an alcohol free wellness hotel and members club is in demand?What can we expect at Long Lane?Food - what is the focus? What wellness rituals will be on offer?The wellness movement - what are you guys seeing that excites you that you want to bring to Long Lane?The journey been to date in creating awareness for this?How did you guys come together?Inspiration for the concept?The books Harrison and Loui were reading:Harrison's reading - Setting The Table by Danny Meyer Loui's reading - Zen and the Art of MotorCycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig Sponsors:This episode is sponsored by Wylde Use code KITCHEN15 to receive £15 off your order This episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.
