“Beth Anne has consistently demonstrated the kind of leadership that defines Staypineapple,” said Dina Belon, President of Staypineapple. “She leads with heart, accountability, and a deep commitment to both our team members and our guest experience. Her strategic mindset, operational expertise, and ability to inspire teams make her an incredible asset to our company, and we are thrilled to see her step into this role.”
With more than 20 years of hospitality leadership experience, King began her career at Vandervert Developments & Hotels in Spokane, Wash., serving as General Manager and overseeing multiple properties, as well as leading hotel openings and large-scale renovations.

Most recently, she expanded her oversight to all Staypineapple hotels while continuing to manage Staypineapple Chicago, demonstrating her ability to successfully balance property leadership with companywide operational strategy.
King shared her excitement about the promotion and the future of the brand: “Staypineapple has always been a company that encourages innovation, individuality, and genuine hospitality, which makes this opportunity especially meaningful to me,” said King. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together and grateful for the talented teams across our hotels who make memorable guest experiences possible every day. I’m excited to continue building on that momentum as we grow and evolve the Staypineapple guest experience.”
As Vice President of Operations, King will join the Senior Leadership Team and oversee operational strategy and performance across Staypineapple’s growing portfolio, continuing to build on the company’s ongoing success in the boutique hotel space.
