Why More Hotel Groups Are Enrolling Their Leadership Teams in Leading Hoteliers Network

More and more hotel groups are signing up multiple senior leaders – sometimes entire C-suites – as members of Leading Hoteliers Network. While many initially join for career opportunities, they stay for our unparalleled industry intelligence.

Our dedicated news team delivers the fastest, most accurate management updates in the industry. We monitor all major hotel groups, management companies, and over 60 additional sources – including consultancy reports, loyalty programs, and general hospitality media – minute by minute. Our editors also track press releases from the world's most renowned hotels daily. After eight years of publishing more than 15,000 news updates, we've built such credibility that hotels and groups now proactively share exclusive updates about leadership changes, renovations, and development plans with us.

The member platform has evolved into an indispensable toolbox for today's hotel leaders. With eight years of searchable archives, you can instantly access articles, guides and best practices from top experts and properties worldwide. Many investors and executive teams at major hotel groups use this resource daily for its efficiency and unique insights.

While our job lead service remains our most recognized offering – with daily scans of 100+ sources – most members continue their subscriptions even after securing new positions. The job market intelligence provides crucial strategic insights: Which competitors are hiring? Where are the industry movements? Which companies are expanding and where?

For hotel groups looking to enroll multiple leaders (2-20 executives), we offer special group registrations at https://www.leading-hoteliers.com/groups-2.

Confidentiality is the Cornerstone of Leading Hoteliers Network

While we’re proud to count many of the world’s top hotel leaders among our members, we uphold strict confidentiality for all—including group memberships. Just like individual private memberships, your profile remains hidden by default. Visibility only occurs if you actively engage: joining network discussions, commenting, or sharing articles.

This discipline extends to every tier of membership. Whether you enroll as an individual or a leadership team, we enforce the same rigorous privacy standards that have earned trust from executives for eight years. Group memberships offer seamless, discreet access—no public roster, no unintended exposure. Your participation is visible only when you choose to make it so.

At Leading Hoteliers Network, confidentiality isn’t just a policy; it’s a commitment to creating a secure space for unfiltered industry insights.

We thank our growing community of members – your participation enables us to continuously enhance our services and deliver even greater value to the global hotel leadership community.

Kind regards,

The Team

at LEADING HOTELIERS NETWORK
