FRANKFURT, DE. October 25, 2017 - Worldhotels, a global sales, marketing and distribution company, with over 350 independent upscale and luxury hotels in 50 countries, is strengthening its leadership team by appointing Alicia Dill as new Senior Vice President, The Americas. In her new role, Dill will be responsible for the Sales, Marketing and Revenue Optimization for the company's growing portfolio of member hotels in North and South America. She will report into Geoff Andrew, the group's Chief Executive Officer.

Dill's hiring comes at a time when Worldhotels is making significant investments in enhancing its service offerings for independent hotels including the expansion of its global sales force, new property development teams, a major rebranding project, and the design of a powerful new CRM/loyalty platform.

“Adding a seasoned leader with Alicia's sales and marketing experience in the luxury and upscale hotel market will allow us to seamlessly build upon the outstanding organization and opportunities that have been developed over the years,” said the Worldhotels CEO Geoff Andrew. “Worldhotels has identified the Americas as the primary engine for our future growth and Alicia's background will greatly benefit our existing hotel members in the Americas and help position the company for tremendous growth moving forward. Our goal is to have more than 250 independent upscale and luxury hotels in the region within the next five years. The Americas - and the US especially - have always been the key driver of our sales production to the rest of our member hotels throughout the world. With Alicia at the helm, we are making an already strong team even stronger.”

Dill joins Worldhotels from the 5-star, 5-diamond Viceroy L'Ermitage Beverley Hills, where she led sales and marketing for the past seven years and served on the Executive Committee. Prior to Viceroy, she spent eight years in different sales and marketing leadership roles with Starwood Hotels and Resorts and Hilton Hotels.
