NEW YORK - November 14, 2011 - Chuck Pomerantz has joined New York-based Denihan Hospitality Group as vice president operations, New York. In this new role, Pomerantz is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Denihan's nine-property New York portfolio, including finance, human resources, sales and revenue strategy.

“Chuck was the natural choice to lead the operations of our hotels in New York,” said Brooke Barrett, co-chief executive officer of Denihan Hospitality Group. “His expertise in asset management, combined with his broad experience in operations, is a perfect fit as Denihan enters an exciting period of growth. Chuck is an instrumental part of our transition from a centralized corporate operation to a more regionalized approach. This is key as we continue on our path to expand our portfolio into new key urban markets across the U.S.”

“It's an honor to be working with such an esteemed company as Denihan Hospitality Group,” said Pomerantz. “I'm looking forward to applying my extensive experience in hotel operations and management as the firm puts more emphasis on a regionalized structure.”

Pomerantz brings to Denihan more than 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry. For the last 15 years, he has focused on the operations side of the business. Most recently, Pomerantz served as a partner and consultant with Redmont Hospitality, where he worked with a major financial institution to provide hotel valuation and asset management services for 41 hotels.

Prior to Redmont Hospitality, Pomerantz was the vice president of operations and the managing director of the Innisbrook Resort in Tampa, Fla., and held executive and management positions at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas and the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas. Pomerantz also held various positions during his eight-year tenure at Wyndham International Hotels, where he oversaw the company's portfolio of hotels along the East Coast. Prior to joining Wyndham, Pomerantz served as assistant director of operations for City Hotels USA and food and beverage director at the Sheraton Manhattan.

For eight years, Pomerantz owned and operated Hofberg's Restaurant and Catering Company in Rockville, Md. He started his career as the assistant food and beverage director of the Sheraton Carlton in Washington, D.C., after graduating from Florida International University with a B.S. in hospitality management.
