BEVERLY, MA, Jan. 7, 2014—Capital Hotel Management (CHM), a
leading hotel asset management and investment advisory firm, today announced
that it has named industry veteran C. Barry Robinson senior
vice-president.
In his new role,
Robinson will be responsible for providing asset management and advisory
services to new and existing clients as they grow their hotel investment
portfolios through improving returns on existing properties, acquisitions and
new development.
Robinson is based in Denver, where CHM is actively engaged
on several projects, including the Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado
Convention Center and the Westin Denver International Airport hotel currently

“As new development continues to pick up, there’s an

hotels,” said Ken Wilson, CEO of CHM.

“Barry has extensive
expertise in that arena, which is becoming much more active in this phase of
the hotel cycle.
"Planning, construction
oversight and operational ramp-up strategy are critical to the long-term
financial success of a hotel. Mistakes
made during this crucial period can affect a hotel for decades.
“ Barry also has extensive major-scale resort experience,
which arguably is one of the most challenging hotel segments. We are delighted to welcome him back to CHM
as a well-regarded asset manager with an extensive and unique skill set.”
A 20-year hospitality industry veteran, Robinson formerly
served as senior vice-president of hotel investments with CHM, in Hawaii,
before becoming executive vice-president of hotel investments for Miller Global
Properties, LLC. He has held a number
of asset management positions with such companies as Prudential Realty Group
and Bass Hotels & Resorts.
