“Hotel Equities has been navigating a significant transition in recent months, as its founder, Fred Cerrone, retired in November. With this transition, alongside its merger with Springboard Hospitality, Ben Rafter took the helm as Hotel Equities’ chief executive officer, while Brad Rahinsky, former president and CEO, was appointed co-chairman. Meanwhile, the company has continued to expand its portfolio; it now operates almost 40 hotels in the Canadian market, following the additions of the Moxy Vancouver and Element Vancouver. Additionally, Hotel Equities has grown its Caribbean & Latin America portfolio, which includes five open hotels and multiple projects—including Amaris Grace Bay, an LXR Hotel in Turks and Caicos—underway. Chief Development Officer Greg O’Stean, who has been a key part of the company’s recent momentum, spoke with LODGING while attending the Hunter Conference and highlighted Hotel Equities’ growth while sharing his thoughts on the path ahead.”
