White Lodging, an industry leader in urban and lifestyle hospitality development and management, has bolstered its investments and development executive team with the hiring of Noah Hoppe as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
With Hoppe taking on the Chief Financial Officer role, Bruce Hoffmann, current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will transition to an Emeritus role to ensure an orderly transition over the next year. Hoppe is responsible for all Finance, Cash Management and Treasury responsibilities supporting White Lodging's and the White Family's owned assets.
Hoppe joins White Lodging after spending nearly two decades with Hyatt Hotels, where he held a variety of senior Finance roles. He also held senior positions in Asset Management and Transactions, and most recently served as Senior Vice President of Transactions. Hoppe earned his bachelor's degree in finance from Pittsburg State University and his master's degree in business administration from University of Georgia.
In addition to significant renovations across its existing portfolio, White Lodging is currently developing the 258-room Hotel Trinity, Autograph Collection, project in Austin, Texas. The company expects that project, which features a world-class rooftop and luxury seafood restaurant, to top out by the end of the year with a projected opening before the end of 2026. Austin is White Lodging’s largest market and owns or operates 12 other hotels and more than 220,000 square feet of meeting space in the Austin metro area, including the J.W. Marriott Austin, Austin Marriott Downtown and The Otis Hotel, Autograph Collection.
White Lodging’s 40-year history of entrepreneurial excellence in the hospitality industry is outlined in a recently published biography of its late founder, Bruce White. Hospitalitarian is available online wherever books are sold. A documentary version of the book will be released later this year.
