HardRock needs a bigger global footprint
Michael Shindler is not taking much time in pushing forward Hard Rock Hotels and Casino’s growth plans.
The company that currently licenses or franchises a dozen properties comprising slightly more than 4500 rooms, is looking to increase that number to between 40 and 45 properties during the next decade.
And with over 30 projects comprising approximately 5000 rooms in its development pipeline, Hard Rock appears to be well on the way to reaching its goal. Approximately 80% of the projects in the pipeline are stand-alone hotels, with the remainder being casino-hotels.
“It iss a bit of a mixed bag,” Shindler said during a telephone interview. Growing the company’s casino-hotel brand internationally is a priority, however, he said.
Shindler, who joined the company in February as executive VP of hotels and casinos, is helping to oversee the effort. He had been president and CEO of Chicago hotel consulting and advisory firm Four Corners Advisors and also served in various other positions within the industry, including chairman of the board of directors of Hyatt Gaming Management and vice president of development and asset management at Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
