Remco Gerritsen Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at CityHub in Amsterdam, Netherlands, The
CityHub, the award-winning urban lifestyle hotel brand, has today announced the appointment of Remco Gerritsen as CEO as it strengthens its leadership team and prepares for its next significant phase of growth. Building on successful openings in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Copenhagen, and Reykjavik, the brand plans to double its network of hotels across major European cities over the next few years.
Founded a decade ago by university friends Sem Schuurkes and Pieter van Tilburg, CityHub set out to redefine the hotel experience for modern travellers through its signature luxury pod-style Hubs. Each property combines the privacy of a personal, modular space with cutting-edge technology, community-focused environments, and sustainable design. This approach has fuelled the brand's rapid growth and positioned it at the forefront of the next generation of hospitality.
As CityHub embarks on this ambitious new chapter, the company has appointed Remco Gerritsen as CEO. Schuurkes and van Tilburg will step back from their dual CEO roles and move into strategic board-level positions, where they will remain closely involved in guiding long-term vision, brand authenticity, and international growth.
Gerritsen brings more than 25 years of international hospitality leadership, spanning hotel operations, development, and brand expansion in some of the biggest projects across Europe and Asia. Most recently, he served as Director of Hotels at International Hotel Capital Partners (IHCP), overseeing landmark developments including Renaissance Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Moxy Amsterdam Schiphol, the dual-brand Marriott in The Hague, and Hilton Garden Inn Leiden. Some of Gerritsen's earlier roles include senior leadership positions at PPHE Hotels, Azimut Hotels, IHG Hotels, NH Hotels, and Maritim Hotels.
