This is our second hotel that is designated as a palace called Le Meurice. Unlike an average hotel, the two palaces we visited were part of the luxury experience in the hotel industry that is widely known in the French industry. In addition to the palace visit, we were also able to meet the author of “Checking Out: What the Rise of the Sharing Economy Means for the Future of the Hotel Industry” that focused on the impact of the gig economy.
