MOSCOW-Interstate Hotels & Resorts has opened a branch office here and staffed it with three senior executives familiar with the local market. The expansion comes on the heels of the company’s fifth hotel management assignment in the city.

Kenneth McLaren was named executive vice president of Interstate Management Services Inc. and will oversee operations of the local hotels, with all general managers reporting directly to him. Irina Kulagina, vice president sales and marketing, will also be responsible for new business development. Mikhail Rodionov, as vice president-director of projects, will oversee the capital projects for the Moscow portfolio.

Interstate Hotels & Resorts operates 223 hospitality properties with more than 50,000 rooms. A company representative tells GlobeSt.com the new local executives are housed in temporary space while they look for permanent space in Central Moscow. The source could immediately not say where the temporary office is located or how much permanent space the company is seeking.
