Sonesta Hires Club Quarters’ Wolin as SVP Hotel Operations

Sonesta International Hotels Corp. has named Len Wolin as SVP of hotel operations, effective immediately. Wolin most recently served as corporate vice president of global hotel operations for Club Quarters Hotels, and previously held multiple positions at Marriott International, including at the Ritz-Carlton brand.

Wolin has three decades of hospitality experience and will oversee Sonesta’s nearly 300 hotels worldwide. Sonesta has grown considerably over the past year, going from a company managing 58 hotels in the beginning of 2020 to one with nearly 300. The company acquired RLH Hotels, the parent of Red Lion Hotels, in early 2021. In addition, Sonesta assumed management of 225 properties owned by Service Properties Trust, with about 103 previously managed by IHG Hotels & Resorts, and about 122 previously under Marriott flags beginning in the second half of 2020.
