Who runs this hotel?

Three different companies can sit behind one hotel. How this works

OperatorThe company responsible for the hotel's day-to-day operations — hiring and training staff, service, food and beverage, housekeeping and revenue management. It can be different from both the owner and the brand.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation
BrandThe name on the door. The brand company sets standards and supplies the reservation system and loyalty programme — but it does not always run the hotel itself.

    The current property-level Hospitality Online employer record for the exact 130 West 44th Street hotel explicitly labels it “Managed By Hyatt Hotels Corporation.” An older page names Dream Hotel Group; Hyatt acquired Dream Hotel Group, so the current Hyatt record is used.
