Keynote Lunch Speaker: Anthony Melchiorri
Anthony Melchiorri is a hospitality expert and television personality who is the creator, co-executive producer, and host of the Travel Channel's hotel turnaround show, Hotel Impossible.
Anthony Melchiorri has a proven track record of understanding a company’s vision and bringing its individual parts together to create a well-run profit machine. He began his career as director of front office operations at The Plaza Hotel, and has re-positioned some of the finest properties in the United States. At 29, he was appointed general manager of the Lucerne Hotel in 1997. Under his management, the Lucerne was developed into a top NYC hotel, and selected as the New York Times Travel Guide’s ‘Best Service Hotel.’ He then became general manager of The Algonquin Hotel, which at the time was a shell of its majestic past. Melchiorri closed the property for a month and oversaw a basement-to-roof renovation, turning it into a Michelin Guide hotel. His company, Argeo Hospitality, specializes in revenue management and provides consultation on hotel projects for private owners and investors.
Melchiorri brings over 20 years of hospitality industry expertise to Travel Channel as the host of “Hotel Impossible” and “Five Star Secrets.” In “Hotel Impossible,” he is the “hotel fixer” helping to turn the business of a hotel not living up to its potential or struggling to survive. He assesses each property and works closely with the owners and staff to determine its biggest problems. Melchiorri then formulates a plan, revamps the hotel and re-motivates its staff to save these properties from going under.
