Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) has named Kevin Robinson as COO. He returns to the company after previously leading The Langham, Chicago during its preopening phase in 2011. He brings more than 30 years of hospitality leadership to the role.
Robinson’s experience includes leadership roles with Westin and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, where he gained deep operational and strategic expertise across international markets, including Egypt, the Caribbean, and the U.S. He later founded and led Aparium Hotel Group, developing and managing a portfolio of independent properties. Following his exit from the venture, he went on to provide advisory services to the owners of independent luxury hotels in the U.S.
“Kevin’s industry expertise and proven ability to build relationships with hotel owners and create and implement new guest offerings make him the ideal leader to guide our operations,” said Bob van den Oord, CEO, Langham Hospitality. “His blend of corporate discipline and entrepreneurial agility aligns perfectly with our global growth strategy, which centers on increasing our managed property count to 100 hotels by 2040 while continuing to strengthen our ties with clients and deliver elevated hospitality experiences.”
Robinson will report directly to van den Oord and lead day-to-day operations across the group, with a focus on maintaining execution readiness as the company prepares to manage an expanded portfolio. He will also oversee future hotel openings.
