Arlo Hotels has announced the immediate promotion of Jimmy Suh to president
across all seven properties, filling a position that has been vacant for three to four years.
A press released stated that Suh will lead the next
stage of company’s growth, overseeing the hotels operations and marketing,
heightening guest experience, and maximizing the brand value for both guests
and stakeholders.
Arlo Hotels currently has six hotels open: four in New York

Chicago. Its seventh hotel, Arlo Washington DC, is slated to open on November

at Arlo Hotels,” said Oleg Pavlov, founder of Arlo Hotels. “His exceptional
work ethic, thoughtful and entrepreneurial approach to innovation, unwavering
commitment to guest service excellence, while fostering a diverse and motivated
workplace culture make him the ideal candidate to represent the brand and the
