The Spirit of Hospitality
"Reading Larry’s book, The Spirit of Hospitality, took me back to the opening of the Walt Disney World Dolphin, where Larry developed and honed much of his philosophy on service. He, along with his teammates, helped make a culture that swept up our staff and managers alike and created an atmosphere unlike any I have experienced since. The Spirit of Hospitality will enthrall you with the possibilities and instill not only the importance of the basics, but the value of reinventing and stretching every day."
– Michael D. Welly, Emeritus General Manager, Walt Disney World Dolphin; President, Cairn Hospitality and Wellness Consulting
