“It is with great delight that I welcome Jason to our team.
“It is an exciting time for Yotel as we expand at an unprecedented rate across the globe and Jason’s appointment will strengthen our development efforts in North America.
“With an excellent team in place and working closely with our existing partners, we’re looking forward to maximising all our opportunities with a specific focus on key gateway cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Houston, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal,” said Hubert Viriot, chief executive of Yotel.
Through his extensive hospitality career, Hsiang has been involved in over $2 billion of hotel transactions throughout North America and Europe and responsible for growing several independent hotel companies into internationally recognised brands.
After completing his formative years with Lazard Freres Real Estate Investors, he moved to Northstar Capital where upon taking Morgans Hotel Group through an initial public offering, joined the development team where he deployed $500 million of equity investments over six years.
