Tobias Mattstedt
Owner, BEYONDHOSPITALITY
Tobias is a seasoned hospitality professional that combines experience ranging from senior executive roles of both luxury hotel operations – from boutique to some of the largest properties in the world - to corporate roles in both hospitality development and operations.
After completing his education and hotel management training in Germany, he worked in some of the finest hotels in Europe such as the Carlton in Cannes, the Suvretta House St. Moritz and the Hyde Park Hotel (now Mandarin Oriental) in London.
Following studies at the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, he took on senior leadership positions with Ritz-Carlton in the US and the Peninsula Group in Hong Kong.
His career shifted from the world of luxury hotels to a challenge and scale that few people are exposed to during their career: he joined the 6800 room MGM Grand in Las Vegas as Vice President, Food & Beverage, responsible for 55 profit centers, 2,500 employees with an annual F&B revenue of US$275m and led the exercise of partnering up with the world’s finest chefs, restaurateurs & designers and creating more than 20 new venues.
Following his tenure at MGM Grand, he joined the parent company MGM MIRAGE and became Senior Vice President, Development and International Operations, responsible for projects such as MGM Grand Macau and the launch and initiation of MGM MIRAGE Hospitality, the non-gaming hotel management subsidiary with projects throughout the world.
In 2009, Tobias Mattstedt founded BEYONDHOSPITALITY; specializing in Hotel Development as well as F&B Master-planning, Concept Creation and providing management services for some of the biggest names in the culinary & restaurant world.
In addition, BEYONDHOSPITALITY provides advisory service for both owners and operators, ranging from operational reviews to Executive Recruitment and any other exiting task pertaining to outstanding Hospitality.
In 2012, BEYONDHOSPITALITY Far East (based in Hong Kong) extended the reach of the company and added Spa Services to the portfolio.
Through his background and constant exposure to the very global world of hospitality, Tobias is an advisor and speaker on hospitality trends to both corporations and organizations throughout the world.
He lives with his wife Britta and his three Children Julia, Noelani and Felix in Las Vegas, Nevada (though living on planes might be an equally as accurate description).
