In 1979, as the Iranian Revolution swept through the streets of Tehran, Younes Nazarian and his wife Soraya Sarah made the decision to leave behind a successful construction business and move their family to the U.S., ultimately landing in Los Angeles. His youngest son, Sam, was only 3 years old at the time, but he watched his dad build a new life in America.  Younes' business acumen led him to become an early investor in technology company Qualcomm and eventually chairman of Nazarian Enterprises, which focused on a variety of interests in the private, public, and real estate markets.SBLike his father, Sam, showcased a formidable drive. A smart, athletic kid, he played baseball and basketball in high school and college before attending NYU's Stern School of Business. By 23, Sam had become the country's largest distributor of Nextel, a wireless digital communications provider. A year later, he ventured into hotel real estate, buying the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. By the time he was 26, Sam had invested in 10 hotels and had even dipped his toes into film production on the side.In 2006, he launched SBE—Sammy Boy Entertainment, a callback to a childhood nickname. After a series of successful nightclub venues, the first SLS hotel in Beverly Hills opened, a testament to his vision of blending F&B and nightlife into a cohesive luxury-meets-lifestyle experience.As the SBE brand grew, so did Nazarian's ambitions. In 2020, he sold the company to Accor, and this January, he announced HQ Projects, a strategic partnership with Wyndham that provides hotel owners with the freedom to craft their own hospitality stories.Thank you for listening!

Travel News är först att berätta att hotell-profilen Sam Holmberg lämnar Winn group efter bara arton månader. Han ska bli chef för Petter Stordalens trettonde signaturhotell i Sverige. Jag är otroligt taggad för uppgiften. Jag vill utveckla hårdvaran, men kanske framför allt mjukvaran, säger Sam Holmberg i sin första intervju som Sverigechef för Nordic Hotels & Resort. Nordic Hotels & Resorts svenska hotellportfölj består idag av 13 fristående hotell som inkluderar bland annat At Six, Hobo, Nordic Light Hotel, Yasuragi, Copperhill Mountain Lodge, Avalon Hotel och Selma Spa. Det kan bli fler hotell, men det är inget jag kan avslöja nu, säger Sam Holmberg.Målet på dessa hotell är en REV-intäkt på 2000 kronor per natt. Tre faktorer för att nå dit är renlighet, frukost och personlig service. Sam Holmberg vill inte berätta om han i sin nya roll kommer att samarbeta närmare med Stureplansgruppen som Petter Stordalen är delägare i. Jag är ny företaget och inte rätt person att svara på detta. Nordic Hotels & Resorts har många planer och vi tror på det vi jobbar med, det finns plats för fler hotell. Det är självklart att vi ska expandera. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“A guy walks into a bar and requests a copy of the playlist that he’s hearing. Each playlist that I’ve curated for the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills has easily over 1,000 songs on it, plus they’re only on the hotel’s iPod. There isn’t some master on my computer at home. How the hell do you share something like that? Beats the hell outta me. So then he asks if I could do a playlist for his works’ website. Sure, I can do that. Only ten songs? WTF?! Difficult. I knew I wanted to have The Woman In Love cover on there, but also knew that I couldn’t do a COVERS PLAYLIST, because someone already beat me to the punch. The song I was digging the most at the time was PLANETARY PASSION, so I knew I wanted that on there. Those were my building blocks. I figured that the new Aqualung song would be a great way to start it off, and now just had to link the tunes. This is what I did.” Jason Karcut, Avalon Hotel & On the Rocks Vol. 3 Guest DJ On The Rocks Vol. 3 Eggshells (Feat. Lianne La Havas) – Aqualung Pilgrim (MS MR Remix) – MØ Your Love (Feat.
