Mr. Steve Marx

A seasoned pioneer in boutique hotels, Steve Marx has risen to become the industry’s most recognized expert in lifestyle properties. While leading Kimpton Hotels, Loews Hotel Corp, and W Hotels, Steve guided each company through significant growth and stellar financial results. At Kimpton, where he grew the company from 12 to 30 hotels over 8 years, Steve and his team were responsible for launching the Monaco brand. With Loews Hotels, he met the challenge of repositioning several under performing properties, while at the same time spearheaded the largest growth period in Loews’ history.

Mr. Marx's most noteworthy accomplishment with Starwood was to transform W Hotels from the least to the most profitable brand in the company in one short year. The many strategic alliances formed and relationships established throughout his successful career are the foundation for Lifestyle Hospitality. The Lifestyle team has been hand picked with top tier talent in each discipline.

His vision of creating a new and innovative lodging concept is sparked by his entrepreneurial spirit and his desire to continue to push the envelope by launching Lifestyle Hospitality, LLC in January 2006.
