Charlie MacGregor, Founder & CEO of The Student Hotel - a podcast by Christine McDannell

Today we had a special in-person guest on our show:

Charlie MacGregor, CEO and founder of The Student Hotel, a company with strong core values reflecting inclusiveness, unity and social responsibility.

25 locations in 20 cities.

Over 10,000 rooms currently in their portfolio.

TSH is in the process of a €1.8 international growth strategy.

It's an incredible hybrid space that includes Co-living and Co-working for both short-term and long-term guests and residents.

Locations include Amsterdam, Paris, Florence, Dresden, Barcelona, Rotterdam, and more.

Born and raised in Edinburgh, Charlie moved to Amsterdam in 2005 and, together with the Carlyle Group, created The Student Hotel and has been creating a positive impact in each city they expand to.

The concept’s appeal is immediately apparent at Amsterdam City, where this episode was filmed. It's the company’s flagship property. Situated in the heart of one of Europe’s most iconic cities, the complex offers state-of-the-art hotel accommodation, collaborative work areas, a restaurant and bar branded The Pool.

There is no question that Charlie has led TSH into great success. It has even been acknowledged by Deloitte as one of 51 best managed companies in the Netherlands 2017-18, and has achieved Gold status in this title, having been included in this ranking for over four years.

Charlie has supported many humanitarian efforts and was moved to act when the images from Lesvos flooded the news. He is the Co-Founder and member of ‘Movement on the Ground’ an NGO group helping respond to the global refugee crisis.
