"When hospitality becomes an art it loses its very soul"

- Max Beerbohm

About this Quote

This quote by Max Beerbohm speaks to the concept that hospitality should be genuine and wholehearted, not a performance. When hospitality is treated as an art, it can end up being contrived and insincere. It can end up being a program, a performance, a way to impress others. This can result in a lack of genuine connection and an absence of true hospitality. Beerbohm recommends that when hospitality is treated as an art, it loses its soul. It ends up being a shallow, shallow act, instead of a genuine expression of care and kindness. Real hospitality is not about impressing others, but about developing a warm and inviting environment. It is about creating an area where individuals can feel comfortable and accepted. When hospitality is treated as an art, it can end up being a chore, instead of an enjoyment.
