By GlobalData“It is an important step towards our goal to become a world-class global hotel group, with one global team.”
Oliver Bonke is at the helm of H World International as CEO, leading the established executive team from the former Deutsche Hospitality.
In addition, H World International’s chief financial officer Choon Wah Wong will continue as Steigenberger Hotels’ managing director.
Bonke said: “We are excited to bring all of our distinctive brands to key global markets.
“With our compelling value proposition for owners and investors, we will be able to offer our employees career opportunities across the globe and 218 million H Rewards members more choice – an even more attractive hotel portfolio, in more destinations, and across more brands.”
H World International’s geographical focus includes regions such as Europe, the Middle East, India & Africa (MEIA), and Asia Pacific (APAC).
To commence growth in APAC, H World International has formed a joint venture with Conduit House, a hotel operator and asset manager in Asia, to provide a range of services from pre-opening support to operations.
Last October, Deutsche Hospitality launched an IntercityHotel in Geneva, Switzerland.
