Ben Pundole

With twenty years in the Lifestyle Hotel business, and a focus on events, bars, nightlife, promotions and marketing, Ben, whose true passion is travel and hotels (and food), decided it was time to make good use of his experience, exploit his resources and lure his contacts into creating AHotelLife.com: an editorial site with a focus on hotel reviews and insider scoop. Educated at London’s infamous Groucho club, Ben graduated to the Met bar before an eleven year stint with Ian Schrager and Morgans Hotel Group as VP of Entertainment. He opened Ruschmeyer’s in Montauk in 2010 and for eight years held the position of VP Brand Experience with Ian Schrager/Marriott’s EDITION hotels.
