Luxury real estate and hospitality industry expert Charles L. Black III has joined Luxury Hotel Advisors (LHA) - a boutique luxury hotel advisory and acquisitions firm - as the firm s newest principal. Prior to joining LHA, Black served as managing director of Compass Real Estate s luxury division in Southern California.
Black worked as executive vice president of Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills, Calif., a leading luxury real estate brokerage and as di rector of sales and marketing for Montage Hotels & Resorts. He was director of sales and marketing for Cap Juluca, a luxury resort in Anguilla - where he played a key role in re-positioning the resort s brand, increasing overall revenue - as well as director of sales and marketing at the Ritz-Carlton Golf and Spa Resort in Rose Hall, Jamaica.
