After serving in the US Air Force, Anthony spent 25 years in the hotel business; developing his own management style, helping turn around New York’s iconic Plaza Hotel, putting the Lucerne on the New York Times list as one of the best run hotels in the city, and recreating the magic of The Algonquin, the literary haunt of the famous “Round Table.” From there, Anthony went on to develop the Nickelodeon Hotel and Resort in Florida, became first vice president of Tishman Hotels and served as senior vice president of New York Hotel Management Company.
 
Utilising this vast experience, Anthony wanted to help others and share the excitement of what this industry is all about on television. This led to the creation of cable TV series, Hotel Impossible. Now in its sixth season, Anthony works each week to keep failing hotels with near-fatal problems, and especially the families who own these businesses, from going broke. To showcase another side of the industry, the 50-year-old Brooklyn native created Five Star Secrets, which features upscale hotels and showcases behind the scenes efforts that make those hotels some of the best in the industry. In addition to television, Anthony is nearing the completion of a book about running a successful business like a five star hotel.
