Staypineapple promotes Beth Anne King to vice president of operations, expanding her responsibilities to oversee operational strategy and performance across the boutique hotel brand’s portfolio while she continues to serve as general manager of Staypineapple Chicago.
“Beth Anne has consistently demonstrated the kind of leadership that defines Staypineapple,” Dina Belon, president of Staypineapple, said in a statement. “She leads with heart, accountability and a deep commitment to both our team members and our guest experience. Her strategic mindset, operational expertise and ability to inspire teams make her an incredible asset to our company.”
King brings more than 20 years of hospitality leadership experience to the role. She began her career with Vandervert Developments & Hotels in Spokane, Washington, where she served as a general manager overseeing multiple properties, as well as hotel openings and large-scale renovations.
She joined Staypineapple in 2019 as general manager of Hotel Rose, where the company said she stabilized operations, improved team morale and increased guest experience scores. She was later promoted to general manager of Staypineapple Chicago, where she improved profitability and demonstrated a strong focus on talent development and leadership.
In 2024, King was promoted to regional director of operations, helping lead strategic initiatives across the company, including advancing Staypineapple’s hyperpersonalization efforts. Most recently, she expanded her oversight to all Staypineapple hotels while continuing to manage the Chicago property.
“Staypineapple has always been a company that encourages innovation, individuality and genuine hospitality, which makes this opportunity especially meaningful to me,” King said. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together and grateful for the talented teams across our hotels who make memorable guest experiences possible every day.”
As vice president of operations, King joins Staypineapple’s senior leadership team and will focus on driving operational excellence as the brand continues to grow in the boutique hotel space.
