PHILADELPHIA-The Loews Philadelphia Hotel has a new general manager Sean Clancy, who takes over the hotel after some hotel executive management stints in South Florida.

Clancy replaces Rick Staub as the general manager of Loews Philadelphia. Staub had been the GM at the 581-room hotel, which completed a $14-million renovation in March, for the past six years.

Clancy joined Loews Hotels & Resorts in 2012 and was hotel manager at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel before being named to his new post. Previously, he was general manager at the Boca Beach Club, a Waldorf Astoria resort. Earlier in his career, he held senior management positions including director of rooms and director of operations at the Arizona Biltmore, and assistant executive manager and rooms operations manager for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where he spent more than nine years.

“We are thrilled to welcome Sean as general manager of Loews Philadelphia Hotel,” states Shawn Hauver, vice president of operations, Loews Hotels & Resorts. “Sean's luxury experience combined with his demonstrated leadership and impressive hospitality track record will ensure this iconic property's longstanding reputation as the city's most historic and celebrated hotel is well-maintained. Sean will be an asset to our team and we look forward to continued success under his direction.”
