The 242-room hotel, opening November 2022, is located in the heart of the Plaza Coral Gables and is the second Loews Hotel in South Florida, joining the iconic Loews Miami Beach Hotel in South Beach.

As Complex Managing Director, Kucuk will work closely with project partners Agave Holdings on the opening of the hotel, taking oversight of hiring, space planning and process implementation, among other key duties.

A seasoned hospitality executive with extensive operations experience, Kucuk has been with Loews Hotels & Co for 20 years. He began as a Front Desk Agent at Loews Miami Beach, working in a variety of capacities which led to his 2013 Hotel Manager promotion. Kucuk played an integral role in the resort’s $50 million redesign, driving the reconceptualization of food and beverage offerings, managing key stakeholders and implementing new operational programs as part of the hotel’s re-launch. In 2018, he took on a new opportunity as Managing Director of Nobu Eden Roc Hotel before returning to Loews Miami Beach as Managing Director. 

With 20 years of industry experience, Barrage comes to Loews from Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel, where he served as General Manager after holding leadership positions within the operations realm since its 2017 opening.
