About Christopher Henry

Christopher M. Henry, ISHC, 36, co-founded Majestic Hospitality Group in August 2008. Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. Henry has led Majestic Hospitality on assignments in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Over the years, personal and business experiences have created Mr. Henry’s well-rounded perspective on the tourism industry and his ardent support of a triple bottom line philosophy. Working within the realms of luxury, boutique, and lifestyle hotels, Christopher has a passion for creating unique destination properties which harness and promote authentic local experiences. He is currently involved with projects in Texas, Georgia, Mexico, and Italy.

For the past five years, he has been a member of the Latino Hotel Association’s Board of Directors. Christopher is also an active member of the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) and the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA). In response to COVID’s impact on travel/tourism and the nationwide social upheaval in 2020, Christopher co-founded a new association, “NextGen in Lodging,” to engage and promote the ideas of up-and-coming hoteliers to produce an industrial paradigm shift. Mr. Henry served a five-year term on the advisory board of Belmont High School (LAUSD) and is a three-time distinguished guest lecturer at Pepperdine University’s Graziadio Business School.
