Horwath HTL, the world’s largest and most experienced hotel consulting brand, is delighted to announce the opening of a brand-new office in Russia after several years of absence. The office is in St Petersburg, with a smaller office in Moscow, and is being headed up by industry veteran Blake Anderson-Buntz. Blake has a tremendous amount of hospitality experience, both as a former General Manager of luxury properties and as development director for various hotel brands. Most recently, Blake has had his own consulting firm and running Hotel Report, a magazine focusing on travel and tourism.

James Chappell, Global Business Director of Horwath HTL, said,

“Russia is a key market for hotels and hospitality, and it is very significant for us that we have been able to re-enter the market, especially under such challenging conditions. Blake is very well respected, and we are fortunate to have him with us.”

Blake Anderson-Buntz said,

“Horwath HTL is a tremendous brand, recognized in Russia as a market leader. The Russian market is extremely active, focusing on Real Estate, which has been undiminished during the pandemic. This, combined with a focus from the central government to improve tourism infrastructure, means that it is a good time for Horwath HTL to enter. We look forward to achieving great things together.”
