This project analyses hotel service quality from the perspective of senior guests. It addresses two research questions. First, what attributes of hotels satisfy and delight senior guests? Second, what are the needs and wants of senior guests being met by these attributes? Qualitative research conducted among Italian seniors suggests that hotel managers can delight senior guests by meeting their expectations for uniqueness, novelty seeking, knowledge seeking and emotional atmosphere.
