Anthony Melchiorri Biography

Anthony Melchiorri, a seasoned TV personality and hospitality mogul, is the creator, producer, and host of "Hotel Impossible" on the Travel Channel. With extensive experience in the hospitality industry, his career began as the Night Manager at New York's Plaza Hotel and quickly ascended to Director of Front Office Operations. Known for his keen ability to identify and rectify issues in any hotel, Melchiorri has significantly impacted prestigious properties like the Lucerne and Algonquin Hotels in New York City. He is also the President and founder of Argeo Hospitality, a consulting firm specializing in revenue management, brand development, sales, and marketing.

Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Melchiorri's challenging childhood shaped his relentless work ethic and drive. After high school, he served in the United States Air Force as a protocol officer at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, which piqued his interest in hospitality. This role was pivotal, instilling the principle that all guests deserve comfort and respect, which later became part of his professional philosophy of "everyday excellence."

Following his military service, Melchiorri's notable position at The Plaza set the stage for his illustrious career. He later became the general manager of The Lucerne Hotel at just 29, transforming it into one of New York City's top hotels. His tenure at the Algonquin Hotel is marked by a $15 million renovation that he led, successfully re-establishing the hotel's reputation and achieving high acclaim, including recognition in the Michelin Guide. His innovative marketing included the launch of the $10,000 'Martini on the Rock,' linking the property’s glamorous history with modern luxury.

Beyond his hotel management career, Melchiorri expanded his influence through television. On "Hotel Impossible," he assists struggling hoteliers in revamping their businesses. He also hosts "Hotel Showdown," a competitive show where hotels vie for a $25,000 prize, and he is the creator and co-executive producer of "Five-Star Secrets," which explores the inner workings of top-rated hotels. Additionally, Melchiorri shares his expertise in strategic planning, customer service, budget management, and public relations through speaking engagements on topics such as branding, business strategy, and marketing.

In 2010, Melchiorri established Argeo Hospitality, leveraging his expertise to advise clients on development, repositioning, and enhancing operational efficiencies. His firm's approach, combined with his direct and honest communication style, enables clients to achieve sustainable success and improved profitability.
