Spotlight on New General Manager: Ted Selogie

Please join us in welcoming Ted Selogie, the new General Manager for the New York Hilton Midtown!

Ted’s passion for hospitality began early in life, working at the Northshore Hilton in Skokie, Illinois. That experience sparked a career that has spanned over three decades, including his many rewarding years with Marriott International and Accor. Ted has held executive roles across six major hotel brands, from serving as Area General Manager overseeing 13 Chicagoland properties, to leading as Regional Vice President for Accor, covering Fairmont, Sofitel and Swissotel hotels. In his most recent role, Ted served as General Manager of the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

 

Outside the hotel, Ted is deeply committed to giving back and has served on several industry boards including California, New Orleans, and Illinois Hotel & Lodging Associations, Visit California, the Century City Chamber of Commerce, the Los Angeles Tourism Marketing District and the local Business Improvement District. He also supports cases like DePaul University’s Hospitality School, SOS Children’s Villages, and PINK House.

Welcome, Ted!

The hotel industry advocate recently renewed a $1.04 billion emergency city contract after the city has already spent $2.3 billion to house asylum-seekers. He warned that the City Council’s Safe Hotels Act would drive up prices but withdrew his objections after a series of negotiations. Now Dandapani is focused on combating city legislation that would ease restrictions on Airbnb.
