Glasshouse Hospitality
Hans Heijligers has spent forty years leading hotels across eleven countries and four continents, in cultures as different as Amsterdam and Almaty, Dubai and Tokyo, Johannesburg and Beijing. He was CEO of IHG's landmark joint venture in Japan, steering the 40-plus hotel portfolio and kicking off its growth strategy.
He has run flagship properties for Hyatt, Jumeirah and Pan Pacific, to name a few. Today, as a founding partner of Glasshouse Hospitality, he works alongside owners and investors to help hospitality assets reach their full potential — bringing an operator's instinct to the advisory table.
He strongly believes hospitality starts with people. Forty years, eleven cultures, one job: help people feel safe, give them a place they feel they belong and can be the best version of themselves — every stakeholder in the business, from colleague to owner.
