Corinthia names Peter Roth as its first President of Hotel Operations

Corinthia Hotels has appointed Peter Roth to the newly created role of President of Hotel Operations.

Mr Roth joins Corinthia with more than three decades of international luxury hospitality leadership across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. 

He spent the last four years as Regional Vice President for the Emirati state-owned luxury hotel chain Jumeirah. 

He previously spent 15 years with Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, culminating in his appointment as Area Vice President for multi-brand assets across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Philadelphia. 

In his new role, Mr Roth will oversee the operational performance of Corinthia’s existing portfolio while leading operational readiness for the Group’s upcoming openings in Italy, Doha, Riyadh, Dubai, and the Maldives. 

Based at the company’s headquarters in London, he will report directly to Simon Naudi, Group CEO and Managing Director of the Corinthia Group.

“Peter brings a wealth of operational expertise that will directly strengthen our day-to-day hotel performance,” Mr Naudi said. “His main focus will be on operations, service standards, and profitability across our existing Corinthia hotels. We are delighted to welcome such an experienced hotelier into the Corinthia family.”
