As well as continuing in his role as General Manager of the Steigenberger Airport Hotel Amsterdam, Mr. Bruyn will now take charge of all Upscale hotels in the Netherlands. Erwin M. Bruyn will report to Denis Hüttig, who is heads the Upscale Segment in his capacity as President Steigenberger Business & Resorts, Jaz in the City.
Mr. Bruyn began his career at Deutsche Hospitality in 2007, when he took over as General Manager of the Steigenberger Kurhaushotel Scheveningen. He moved to the Steigenberger Airport Hotel Amsterdam to become General Manager in July 2013. As Area General Manager, he has also been responsible for the Steigenberger Hotel Dortmund and the Steigenberger Hotel Cologne since January 2014. Prior to joining Deutsche Hospitality, Mr. Bruyn also acted as a General Manager for companies including Novotel and Dorint.
By restructuring its brand portfolio, Deutsche Hospitality will from now on divide its brands Steigenberger Icons, Steigenberger Hotels & Resorts, Jaz in the City, MAXX by Steigenberger and Zleep Hotels into the segments Luxury, Upscale, Midscale and Economy. The new brand structure will enable the integration of new brands and thus create the basis for the international expansion of Deutsche Hospitality.
