Remington Hospitality has appointed Jason Kreul as chief operating officer, effective August 5. The move comes after the recent shakeup at the top of the hotel management company, with Ben Perelmuter taking over as CEO after the departure of Sloan Dean.
In his new role, Kreul will oversee all aspects of hotel operations, engineering, food and beverage and commercial strategy for both third-party managed and assets under management. He will also work to accelerate Remington’s growth across North America, the Caribbean and Latin America.
“As Remington continues to expand its presence in key growth markets, bringing in a proven leader like Jason is essential to executing our long-term strategy,” said Perelmuter. “His ability to drive performance, cultivate brand partnerships and empower teams makes him the ideal fit for this next chapter of growth.”
Kreul joins Remington Hospitality with more than two decades of hospitality leadership experience. Most recently, he served as chief operating officer at First Hospitality, where he led operations, commercial strategy and the people and talent divisions. Before that, he held the role of president at Highgate, as well as senior-level positions with White Lodging and Winegardner & Hammons. Kreul’s property-level experience includes general manager roles at lifestyle, independent and Marriott full-service hotels in both urban and resort markets.
“I’m excited to join Remington Hospitality at such a dynamic time in its growth,” said Kreul. “The company’s clear commitment to people, innovation and results is evident and deeply resonates with me. I look forward to collaborating with this talented team to strengthen owner relationships, drive meaningful impact, and deliver increased returns across the portfolio.”
Kreul serves on several industry and community advisory boards with major hotel brands, including Hyatt and Marriott.
