"Mint House is driving transformational change in the hospitality industry by providing guests with a delightful, frictionless experience that is purposefully built on smart spaces, thoughtful design and connected technology", said Wachter. "Mint House's accelerating success over the last several years speaks to the extraordinary work of Will and the entire Mint House team who have masterfully harnessed the megatrends that have painfully disrupted so many of their competitors. Mint House's revenues have quadrupled since 2020 and their customer satisfaction scores are through the roof. I'm thrilled to join this outstanding team as we work together to fundamentally change how the world lives, works and plays away from home, creating exceptional, long-term value for our guests, employees, partners and communities."
"The fact that Mint House is now able to attract talent such as Jonathan Wachter and recently appointed CFO Samantha Greenberg validates the great business that Will Lucas and team are building even more so than impressive accolades such as their flagship property, Mint House at 70 Pine – New York, being named "Best Hotel in the U.S." by TripAdvisor," said Todd E.
