Arlo Hotels appoints Jimmy Suh as the company president, effective immediately. Suh steps into this position with over 20 years of leadership experience in the hospitality industry. His career has been marked by a series of executive roles at lifestyle hotel brands, including Kimpton, Loews and The Standard hotels, where he formed brand marketing, revenue and guest experience strategies.
In July 2021, Suh joined Arlo Hotels as its chief commercial officer, responsible for revenue maximization, profitability, marketing, brand value, public relations and stakeholders’ returns. He has led to some of the company’s most successful programs to date, which include the If You Arlo program, which turns social influencers into the next generation travel agent, and Arlo Means Business, an online marketplace for small to medium sized enterprises to enjoy the benefits traditionally reserved for Fortune 500 companies.
In the past three years, Suh has been instrumental in launching three new Arlo hotels in Miami (Wynwood), Chicago and Williamsburg. As president, Jimmy Suh will lead the next stage of company’s growth, overseeing the hotels operations and marketing, heightening guest experience and maximizing the brand value.
"We are thrilled to see Jimmy Suh take on the role of president at Arlo Hotels,” Oleg Pavlov, founder of Arlo Hotels, said in a statement. “His exceptional work ethic, thoughtful and entrepreneurial approach to innovation, unwavering commitment to guest service excellence, while fostering a diverse and motivated workplace culture make him the ideal candidate to represent the brand and the company."
Arlo Hotels currently operates six properties: four in New York City (Williamsburg, Midtown, NoMad and SoHo), one in Miami (Wynwood) and one in Chicago. Its seventh hotel, Arlo Washington, D.C., is slated to open this month.
