Ryan Mcwaters
Head of Acquisitions

As a member of the Queensway senior leadership team, I am responsible for expanding the Queensway Hotels portfolio by driving new site acquisitions and developments across key growth markets.

With a rewarding 25-year international career in real estate development, PERE investment management, and construction, I have developed, financed, and built an extensive portfolio of projects across the UK, USA, Europe, and Australia. These include hotels and resorts, luxury homes, townhouse and apartment schemes, as well as mixed-use commercial and retail projects. 

I have a deep passion for the hospitality industry. In addition to my hotel development, investment, and consulting projects, I previously owned and operated a hotel in Europe, which I successfully refurbished, restructured, and optimised over six years. 

My experience spans the entire hotel asset lifecycle—from acquisitions, planning, design, and development to financing, investment, and operational management. This diverse expertise allows me to bring valuable insight, capability, and leadership to the Queensway team. 

Outside of work, I am a devoted husband and father who enjoys London’s vibrant mix of restaurants, architecture, and villages. I also love exploring the UK countryside and traveling to both new and familiar destinations around the world.
