Noah Ellis, CEO of Ofland Hotels, sits down with BigHead to talk about the unique experience behind Ofland Escalante, an outdoor boutique hotel in Southern Utah that blends adventure with the comforts of a traditional hotel.
Noah shares his journey from washing dishes at 13 to working alongside hospitality legends like Chef Michael Mina, opening restaurants and hotels across the country, and building a new kind of outdoor getaway for travelers who want nature without giving up the amenities.
We cover:
- How Ofland Escalante is redefining the outdoor hotel experience
- Why “glamping” doesn’t quite describe what they’ve built
- Noah’s hospitality career and how he joined Ofland
- Lessons learned from some of the biggest names in the industry
- The importance of making guests happy and creating memorable experiences
- The story behind Ofland’s vintage drive-in theater and unique lodging
