The announcement coincides with the company\u2019s significant expansion program currently underway, which includes 15 properties open or under construction across four continents.<\/p>\n<p>Swade will step down from his current role as Group CEO at the Jumeriah Group to join Grace Hotels. For the past four years, he was responsible, among others, for the Jumeriah brand\u2019s global expansion strategy and helped build a strong portfolio of future hotel projects for the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRobert Swade has played a critical role in building and enhancing the Jumeirah brand, and steering it through the inevitable complexities of large-scale growth,\u201d Constantine Logothetis, executive vice chairman of the Libra Group, the parent company of Grace Hotels, said in a statement. \u201cGrace Hotels is fortunate to be benefitting from his wisdom, track record and international perspective as it embarks on the next phase of its global journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his new position with Grace Hotels, Swade will be responsible for developing the brand and expanding its global footprint. The group has a number of developments currently in the pipeline, including Grace Marrakech in Morocco, La Dolfina Grace in Argentina and the Grace St. Moritz in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am proud to be joining Grace Hotels as its CEO,\u201d stated Swade. \u201cI have watched the group\u2019s evolution with interest and I am impressed by its commitment to bring new innovations to luxury hospitality. Ever since Grace Hotels entered the luxury boutique hotel market in 2007, it has been winning awards and breaking new ground. Grace has a very special portfolio of properties and a clear vision for future growth, and I am delighted to bring my experience to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of the Jumeirah Group<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Swade will join the company after more than a decade with the Jumeirah Group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1269,"featured_media":1004146868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21751,23891,1600,21742,21744],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004146867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hotel","category-national","category-new-york","category-latest","category-people"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Meet Grace Hotels&#039;
