The website, which has already seen significant cosmetic changes in recent months, will be revamped on a fundamental level through the incorporation of the Opera reservation system, which Mendelson said will be more flexible and will empower users. http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4032961.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4032961.html Fri, 14 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0200 NEW YORK, Today, Loews Hotels announced it will open its first property in Atlanta.

Chief Executive James Tisch on Thursday downplayed speculation the conglomerate might spin off or sell its Loews Hotels unit. "There is an awful, awful lot that goes into any decision to take any company public, or to sell it," Tisch said on a conference call, in response to an analyst's question. "At this point in time, we just don't see the benefits of monetizing our hotel interest." Loews Hotels last year posted net income of $31.2 million on revenue of $350.5 million. It generates just 2 percent of overall revenue for its New York-based parent, whose businesses also include financial, tobacco, energy and watch-making companies. http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4025326.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4025326.html Thu, 17 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0200 NEW YORK | Loews Corporation (NYSE:LTR) mourns the loss of Preston Robert "Bob" Tisch, Chairman of its Board of Directors.

Consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2004 was $728.5 million, compared to a loss of $978.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471652822/hospitalitynet/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471652822/hospitalitynet/ Tue, 19 Oct 2004 17:48:53 +0200 The CEO of Loews Hotels, Tisch preaches a management philosophy of cooperation: forging partnerships with employees, customers, shareholders and communities. A skeptical reader will ask what kind of partnership leaves the author heir to a $21-billion fortune while most of his employee-partners make less than $21,000 per year; the author addresses this question head-on, leaving the executive suite and performing the entry-level jobs in Loews hotels: cleaning, cooking, serving, repairing and checking guests in. The difficulty of these jobs reinforces "how crucial it is for top management to give the front-line people the tools, resources, and freedom they need to carry out their demanding jobs." He also confronts a union-busting reputation with a set of arguments for and against organized labor. The result is inspiring as an account of the way businesses should be run, but not entirely convincing as an account of the way Loews is actually run: Tisch describes at length how uncomfortable and humiliating the front-line employee uniforms are—but he doesn't consider changing them because they are cheap to launder. Accounts from other executives who practice partnership management argue strongly for the ideas; this book as a whole gives explicit examples and recipes for applying them with an entertaining mix of analysis and stories. http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4018549.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4018549.html Thu, 12 Feb 2004 00:00:00 +0200 NEW YORK--Loews Corporation LTR CG today reported consolidated net income (including both the Loews Group and Carolina Group) for the 2003 fourth quarter of $367.4 million, compared to $261.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2002.
