Generous hospitality, wherever a human relationship is at stake.
A visionary of hospitality and a sounding board for leaders, Laurent Delporte is ranked among the world's top ten experts. Keynote speaker, consultant and trainer, he helps hotels, luxury and service brands turn hospitality into a lasting competitive advantage, far beyond the hotel.
Hospitality isn't a service. It's a vision.
For over 25 years, I have observed, audited and supported the finest establishments in the world. My conviction: the quality of a welcome doesn't come from processes, but from a generous, embodied, demanding culture, where the guest experience and the employee experience feed one another.
This culture is built. With leaders, with teams, in the spaces themselves. It is the thread running through my career and my commitment, in luxury hospitality and in every sector that places welcome at the heart of its mission.

What is generous hospitality®?
Generous hospitality® is the founding concept of DELPORTE HOSPITALITY, structured around three pillars: the sense of place, which reveals the identity and story of a space; human connection, carried by the sincerity and attentiveness of the teams; and guest well-being, which goes beyond satisfaction to restore each person welcomed. These three pillars form a method transposable to every sector that receives.
What services does DELPORTE HOSPITALITY offer?
Three complementary areas of expertise: hospitality consulting and auditing (field audit, mystery guest, guest experience strategy for leaders and executive committees); training in generous hospitality® (in-house programmes, executive and manager coaching, bespoke pathways to embed a culture of welcome); and keynote speaking (keynotes and interactive workshops in French and in English, on 8 themes: generous hospitality®, guest experience, leadership, AI and the guest relationship, and more). Every intervention is personalised to the sector and the challenges at hand.
