The Lobby Social
The Lobby Social is a unique event series designed for innovators, creators, and leaders shaping the future of hospitality, travel, and destination experiences.
We envision a new era of hospitality where hotel spaces aren’t just places to stay, but destinations for community, meaningful experiences, and authentic dialogue. The Lobby Social aspires to set the standard for social gatherings, turning properties into sought-after cultural landmarks.
The Lobby Social began from a simple observation: some of the most impactful moments during travels happen not in guest rooms but in the heart of the hotel, the lobby. Inspired by the energy of impromptu encounters, creative conversations, and cross-pollination of ideas in these shared spaces, we set out to curate experiences that truly belong to the community.
Our founder, Danica Janae, saw an opportunity as she attended intimate creative mixers across the country and recognized a way to contribute to the art of networking. She wanted to create gatherings that bridge travelers and locals, artists and entrepreneurs—all co-creating the energy of a new hospitality ecosystem.
She wanted to develop gatherings that bridge travelers and city residents, artists and entrepreneurs, all co-creating the vibe of a new hospitality ecosystem.
Our mission with The Lobby Social is to collaborate with forward-thinking hotel partners to bring this vision to life, spark vibrant buzz, build and fortify authentic connections, and create unforgettable memories with every event.
This is, The Lobby Social.
