MINNETONKA, MN-Carlson Hospitality Worldwide says Eric Danziger has resigned as president of Carlson Hotels Worldwide to relocate to San Francisco for personal and family reasons. When he was hired in 1998, Danziger’s goal was to nearly double the size of the hotel chain by 2001,which then had 500 hotels under the Radisson, Regent International, and Country Inns & Suites flags.

Danziger had planned to add another 400 properties through franchise agreements, acquisitions and development. He didn’t quite make that goal. Carlson Hotels Worldwide now includes 723 locations in 64 countriesunder the brands of Regent International Hotels, Radisson Hotels & Resorts, Country Inns & Suites By Carlson, Park Hospitality, Carlson Vacation Ownership and Carlson Lifestyle Living.

Danziger, 47, began his hotel career as a bellman at the Fairmont Hotel San Francisco when he was 16; eight years later he was managing a hotel. In 1996, Danziger became president and chief executive officer of Starwood Lodging, the largest hotel operating company in North America. Two years later, after Starwood merged with Seattle-based Westin Hotels, he leftStarwood to go to Carlson.
