A renowned American hotelier and friend of the late Arne Sorenson has pledged $1.28m to help support the programmatic and career development elements of the Marriott-Sorenson Center for Hospitality Leadership.

After the unexpected death of Arne Sorenson last week, Marriott has chosen who will succeed him.

In very sad news, Marriott International has announced the passing of its president and CEO at 62 years of age.

In the meantime, Sorenson has tapped two veteran Marriott execs to oversee the company’s day-to-day operations. Here’s hoping he makes a speedy recovery.

It’s been a difficult year so far for hotel companies, to say the least, but the key players are all witnessing green shoots in their recovery from the impacts of COVID-19.

Here’s yet another serving of dour financial results from a hotel giant, this time with a dash of optimism.

Arne Sorenson was brought to tears delivering a candid message on some of the hard choices he’s had to make in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
