Breaking: CEO Dean leaving Remington

Note: Remington Hospitality responded with a statement on Thursday morning.

PLANO, Texas – Remington Hospitality CEO Sloan Dean is leaving the organization, he told Hotel Investment Today. Dean said he is staying on until a successor is hired, likely not later than October.

Dean said it is time to move on and plans to do “bigger and better things” in the hotel business. “I’m ready for the next thing. I’m going to take some time off before moving into my next adventure.”

He said the decision was made about a month ago and the corporate team was told last week.

Dean joined Remington in 2018 and was with Ashford for five years prior, serving as senior vice president of Underwriting and Revenue Optimization before making the jump. Prior to Ashford, Dean held several senior positions with Interstate Hotels, Alliance Hospitality, Noble Investment Group, IHG and Oliver Wyman.

He said he is most proud of the people and team around him. “We were a small affiliate of Ashford and grew to 130 hotels. We transformed the leadership and team, and this creates opportunities for them, as well,” Dean said.

Remington Hospitality released a statement on Thursday morning: 

“We are deeply grateful for Sloan Dean’s leadership over the past eight years as CEO of Remington Hospitality. Under his guidance, Remington transformed into a values-driven organization and a leading force in third-party hotel management. His focus on people, performance, and purpose helped shape a culture where passionate people thrive — a legacy that will remain the foundation of who we are. 

“As we embark on the search for our next CEO, we remain committed to the principles that have driven our growth and confident in the path ahead. We thank Sloan for the impact he has made on Remington and wish him continued success in his next chapter.”
