TGP International has announced the appointment of Shane Munro as Head of Hotels, a newly established senior position created to support the company’s expanding portfolio of hotel and hospitality advisory projects globally.
The appointment underlines TGP International’s ongoing focus on the hotel sector, where the company works with owners, operators, developers and investors across hotel F&B strategy, operational performance, concept development, interior design, guest experience, franchising and licensing.
With demand continuing to grow for specialist guidance across hotel restaurants, bars, cafés and broader hospitality spaces, Munro’s role will help reinforce the agency’s senior advisory capability and bring clients additional operational, commercial and F&B expertise.
Munro brings more than 30 years of international hospitality experience to TGP International, with a career spanning Europe, Asia, Africa and the United Kingdom. Most recently, he held the role of Global Vice President of Food & Beverage at Accor, where he helped develop and deliver F&B strategy across the group’s Premium, Midscale and Economy brands, including Pullman, Mövenpick and Swissôtel.
Over the course of his career, Munro has overseen major hotel and restaurant portfolios, created restaurant, bar and café concepts, advised owners and operators on performance improvement and helped hotel brands adapt to evolving guest expectations. His experience covers luxury, premium, midscale, economy and lifestyle hospitality brands, combining operational insight, brand understanding and commercial discipline. His remit will also include supporting TGP’s thought leadership and industry engagement across hotel F&B, helping clients respond to some of the key challenges facing hotel restaurants, bars and hospitality spaces today.
Commenting on his appointment, Shane Munro said, “Hotels are under increasing pressure to make every hospitality space work harder, from restaurants and bars to cafés, lounges, rooftops and event spaces. TGP International is already supporting a wide range of hotel and hospitality projects globally, and this role is about building on that momentum. I’m excited to work with the team to help clients create hotel F&B that is commercially stronger, operationally sharper and more relevant to both guests and local audiences.”
Simon Wright, Founder and Chairman of TGP International, said, “Shane’s appointment reflects the growing volume of hotel work we are delivering and the increasing demand from the industry for more specialist, commercially grounded hospitality support. We have long believed that F&B, operations and guest experience play a central role in hotel performance and asset value. Shane brings the senior global experience needed to help us deepen that offer and support clients at a greater scale.”
The appointment further strengthens TGP International’s integrated approach to hospitality advisory, combining strategy, F&B expertise, brand development, operations and design advisory. It also supports the company’s broader work across hotels, mixed-use developments, hospitality-led destinations and lifestyle assets, where clients are increasingly looking for joined-up solutions that connect commercial performance with guest experience and place-making.
The role also adds further depth to TGP International’s wider 360-degree hotel hospitality offer, which includes dedicated expertise in wellness hospitality advisory and commercial kitchen design. By bringing together wellness strategy, spatial planning, operational flow and back-of-house infrastructure, TGP supports hotel clients with a more connected approach to hospitality asset performance, from the guest-facing experience through to the systems and spaces that enable delivery.
