"Luxury Hotelier" from Questex Media.

Questex Media's Travel division (Cleveland, OH) will begin the publication of "Luxury Hotelier" magazine with an issue in September. The new publication will be published twice in 2007 and monthly beginning in January 2008.

The international magazine will have an initial controlled circulation of 10,000 corporate and owner hotel executives at four- and five-star hotels, resorts, independents and high-end branded hotels. Editorial will cover the properties and individuals making up the market, with a focus on the problems and issues faced by hotel and resort owners and operators. The magazine will also include a listing of 4000 hotels in the four- and five-star category around the world.

An accompanying Web site was launched earlier this year to cover breaking news and developments in the industry. Questex Group Publisher John McMahon said the "luxury hotelier has been waiting for a global resource that speaks solely to the individuals that own and operate luxury-specific properties. We recognize their needs are unique and we look forward to serving them."

The new title is part of Questex's Hotel World Network, a service that provides access to information for all facets of the hotel and lodging industry and which includes "Hotel & Motel Management" and "Hotel Design" magazines, and the International Hotel Investment Forum and HotelWorld Expo. Other Questex Travel Group titles include "Premier Hotels & Resorts," "Luxury Travel Advisor" and "Travel Agent" magazines.
