Time Hotels' Global Expansion Plans & GCC Growth: Exclusive Interview with COO William Costley In this exclusive interview, William Costley, Chief Operating Officer, Time Hotels , discusses the brand’s ambitious expansion plans and strategic focus at the Future Hospitality Summit 2024 (FHS) in Dubai.

William shares exciting news of Time Hotels' first venture outside the GCC, with a major announcement to be made soon. Time Hotels started primarily as a residence and serviced apartment brand, focusing on long-stay guests, but over the years, it has expanded into upscale city hotels and resorts. With properties now in major regional markets such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Time Hotels is continuing to diversify its offerings, entering new geographies and exploring the resort and leisure segment. A key highlight of this interview is Time Hotels’ vision for massive growth—expanding from 20 properties to 100 in the next decade. William Costley, Chief Operating Officer, Time Hotels discusses how smaller, nimble companies like Time Hotels are now being approached directly by investors, which signals the brand’s maturity and success in the highly competitive hospitality sector.

William Costley, Chief Operating Officer, Time Hotels also sheds light on Time Hotels' customer base, which spans long-stay guests, corporate clients, and leisure travelers. The brand’s properties, particularly its serviced apartments, are favored by GCC guests for their family-friendly nature, large spaces, and dry environments. Time Hotels continues to cater to a wide range of guests through multiple booking channels, including direct online bookings and OTAs (Online Travel Agencies). He emphasizes the importance of participating in industry-leading events such as the Future Hospitality Summit, ITB Berlin, and ATM Dubai, which allow Time Hotels to network with investors, establish brand credibility, and expand business opportunities.
