Interstate Hotels & Resorts , a leading hotel real estate investor and the nation's largest independent management company, today announced that Thomas F. Hewitt, chief executive officer, has been named chairman of the board. He will succeed Paul W. Whetsell, who will step down as chairman and as a member of the board of directors, effective March 31.
"This transition is part of our regular succession planning that we've been working on for some time," Whetsell said. "Tom has a long and distinguished career with Interstate and is the natural choice to continue to lead the company as chairman and chief executive officer. As CEO, he has compiled an impressive record over the past four years as we have grown and diversified the company."
"As a founder of CapStar Hotel Company, one of our predecessor companies, Paul's vision and entrepreneurial spirit were instrumental in the formation and growth of our company," Hewitt noted. "He remains a strong supporter and significant shareholder of Interstate."
