Bio

A graduate of Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration, Wilson started off with jobs at major hospitality brands like Hilton International, Park Hyatt, and Westin. He was recruited to launch the first W Hotel and helped guide the fledgling Starwood brand’s early days, rising to Vice President of Operation for W Worldwide. From there, he helped build James Hotels from the ground up, serving as CEO and introducing sophisticated, warm, modernist design principles, focused on organic materiality and authentic craft details. After selling James Hotels to Denihan Hospitality, he led Denihan through a several-year growth period, including opening the Surrey Hotel. Today, Wilson is President and a partner of Atelier Ace and the Ace Hotel Group, where he oversees growth and operations, and helps create new hotels, brands, and collaborative projects.
