Julia Gosling has been appointed Head of Brand and Marketing at Resident Hotels Ltd (RHL)
Specialist hotel operating and development company Resident Hotels Ltd (RHL) has appointed Julia Gosling to the newly-created role of Head of Brand and Marketing.
Gosling joins the group as it continues to expand, building on the recent opening of The Resident Edinburgh for owners Mactaggart Family & Partners and the near-complete transformation of the Sleeperz Hotels portfolio to Four Points Flex by Sheraton, Marriott International's newly launched EMEA Midscale brand, operated under franchise by RHL.
Prior to this appointment, Gosling spent eight years at Hand Picked Hotels, a privately owned 21-hotel collection where she oversaw brand development, digital growth, content and PR. She also has a wealth of broader hospitality marketing and PR knowledge within the sector having worked in-house and in-agency, which she now brings to RHL's portfolio.
Gosling said: "I am thrilled to be joining RHL at this exciting time in the company's growth and look forward to working across The Resident and Marriott International's Four Points Flex by Sheraton brands, each of which represent great opportunities for owners and investors.
The Resident Edinburgh, the sixth hotel in the group, is currently ranking sixth of Edinburgh hotels on TripAdvisor less than six months after its soft opening in late November 2024.
The four-strong Sleeperz portfolio, three of which were converted in April to the mid-scale Four Points Flex by Sheraton brand, recently launched by Marriott International with RHL operating the hotels under franchise contracts. The fourth hotel, Cityroomz Edinburgh, will join the stable in June completing a fast-track successful transition.
Resident Hotels is currently in discussions over a number of new sites as it continues to look to expansion also through management contracts, with further announcements expected this year.
