Hotel Acquisitions Lead, The Six Bells
The Six Bells — the Brooklyn-rooted hospitality brand behind a Michelin-rated Hudson Valley inn — is seeking a seasoned Hotel Acquisitions Lead to drive their next chapter of growth. If you have 7+ years in hotel or hospitality real estate and a network of owners, brokers, and developers you can actually call (not just LinkedIn-connect), this is a rare consulting opportunity to work directly with a founder building something with genuine soul. You’ll source and advance acquisition opportunities — hotels, inns, adaptive reuse properties — across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and South, with the autonomy of a lean team and the credibility of a brand that’s already earned its Michelin star. Independent hotel instincts are a must. Email hiring@thesixbells.com.
For Sale: Beachfront 5-Star Boutique Hotel in Mykonos
A rare chance to acquire one of Mykonos’s crown jewels: a fully operational, 5-star luxury boutique hotel set directly on the water. The property spans nearly 5,000m² of beachfront estate with approximately 40 keys, a mix of luxury suites and private villas, framed by a private beach, multiple pools, indoor and outdoor F&B venues, and a full spa and wellness center.
A recent €3M renovation means the infrastructure is in place and the asset is ready to operate. The opportunity is in repositioning: the hotel currently runs an ADR of ~€600, and a new operator with unified design and optimized F&B and wellness programming can push that well north of €1,100.
What makes this especially compelling is what you can’t build anymore. Mykonos now has a strict ban on new hotel developments, making existing beachfront assets like this essentially irreplaceable.
