As the CEO and co-founder of Easton Porter Group– Opens in a new tab, Dean Andrews knows the nitty-gritty of five-star hospitality as well as anyone.

He’s acquired, repositioned and operated resorts, small and large luxury hotels and acclaimed restaurants across the globe, helping elevate the standards of hospitality excellence worldwide. Today he loves nothing more than honing the finer points of EPG’s boutique properties, because that’s what three decades in the hospitality industry has taught him:
every detail counts.
