We discuss why 2026 may be seen as a pivotal year for boutique hotels, unpack the rise of global nomadism and how this is shaping demand and trends across hospitality, and how a strong team and clear, consistent messaging and offerings are key to securing investment.

Interstate Hotels and Resorts, Aimbridge Hospitality’s international division, has expanded its senior management team with the appointment of Jean-Charles Denis to the role of COO.

With a “wealth of experience” in the hospitality industry, Jean-Charles joins Interstate from IHG, where he held a variety of senior positions including director of operations, VP commercial and VP finance.

Having been an owner and operator of his own portfolio of hotels, Jean-Charles brings a unique perspective to the newly created role, overseeing operations across all of Interstate’s 96 hotels in the UK, Ireland, Europe and Russia.

Nicholas Northam, executive VP – International for Interstate Hotels and Resorts, said: “I am delighted to welcome Jean-Charles to our senior team.

“His experience in the hospitality industry, both as an owner and in senior positions within IHG, make him a great asset to our organisation. His appointment further strengthens our outstanding operations team to help drive performance for our owners as we continue to grow as a company.”

Jean-Charles, added: “It’s fantastic to join the team at Interstate Hotels and Resorts and to be a part of the world’s leading hotel management company, responsible for the operations of all our hotels across the UK, Ireland, Europe and Russia.

“My appointment comes at what is a truly challenging time for our industry, but I’m looking forward to working with the international team and drawing on my own experience both at IHG and as a hotel owner and operator myself.”

Interstate Hotels and Resorts was acquired by Aimbridge Hospitality in October 2019.
