History of Loews Hotels
- Founded: 1946
- Founders: Laurence Tisch, Preston Robert Tisch
- Acquired by Loews Corporation: 1946
The brand's origin is the company's founding transaction: Laurence and Preston Robert Tisch bought the Laurel-in-the-Pines resort in New Jersey in 1946 and used it to build a hotel portfolio that preceded and outlasted the family's movie theater empire.
Through the twentieth century the hotel arm grew into a collection of luxury and resort properties under the Loews name, with flagships including Loews Regency in New York, Loews Miami Beach, and the Coronado resort near San Diego. The brand has always emphasized independent luxury over flag standardization, positioning below Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton in rate while matching resort-level amenities.
In 2025 the brand posted record adjusted EBITDA of $372 million, up 14% year over year, driven by Orlando convention demand and completed renovations in Miami.
