Jonathan Blose has been appointed General Manager at Gild Hall, a Thompson Hotel in New York
Hyatt's Gild Hall- a Thompson Hotel, located in Lower Manhattan's Financial District, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jonathan Blose as its new General Manager as of April 14th, 2025. A hospitality industry veteran with over 17 years of experience across the Hyatt portfolio, Blose brings a dynamic leadership style, deep operational expertise, and a passion for cultivating exceptional guest experiences.
Blose began his career in hospitality in high school, working as a convention setup houseman at a Four Points Sheraton in Pittsburgh. He credits his mother — and a bit of fate — for setting him on his career path.
As a proud third-generation Penn State graduate with a degree in Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management, Blose has spent nearly two decades honing his skills in diverse markets across the United States like Boston, Pittsburgh, San Diego, and New York. His time across properties ranging from boutique lifestyle hotels to large-scale, 1,600+ room operations has shaped his collaborative, team-focused leadership style.
Joining Gild Hall marks a major milestone for Blose: becoming a General Manager before he turns 40. Under his leadership, Blose plans to build on the hotel's boutique charm, blending the building's Gilded Age aesthetic with a fresh, cool energy that guests can feel the second they step into the lobby.
Blose's approach to operational excellence is grounded in empathy and first-hand experience.
Outside of work, Blose shares a busy life with his wife, Elizabeth, who also works in hospitality, their one-year-old son, Liam, and their two dogs, Harley and Winston (who are really looking forward to working alongside Gild's very own dog concierge - Maya.) Fueled by their love of food, they can't wait to explore New York City's vibrant culinary and hospitality scene and experience the city's unforgettable magic.
As he looks ahead, Blose is excited not only to lead, but to continue learning and becoming a positive impact to the team.
