Veteran hotelier takes the lead at newly acquired hotel which is part of recently launched luxury brand
SAN FRANCISCO, CA. June 17, 2015 - Loews Regency San Francisco, located in the heart of the Financial District, is pleased to announce the appointment of Loris Menfi to general manager. Joining the luxury hotel from Loews New Orleans, Menfi has now taken the helm of the newest addition to the Loews portfolio. With more than 20 years of hospitality experience, Menfi manages all day-to-day operational aspects of the hotel.
Loews Hotels & Resorts welcomed Menfi in early 2013. As the hotel manager of Loews Philadelphia Hotel, she was instrumental in the completion of a $25 million renovation and helped lead the team to winning the Loews Hotels & Resorts Hotel of the Year Award in 2013. Her talents then led her to Loews New Orleans Hotel, serving as general manager, and completing a $4.5 million renovation. Prior to joining Loews Hotels & Resorts, Menfi's 18-year tenure with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company included seven new hotel openings and spanned properties in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Ohio. From front desk and concierge positions, she quickly advanced into leadership roles including Front Office Manager, Director of Housekeeping, Director of Rooms and Executive Assistant Manager.
“Loris brings a wealth of hospitality experience and a proven record of leadership and success,” says John Arnett, regional vice president of operations for Loews Hotels & Resorts. “As we launch our new luxury brand, Loews Regency, Loris' passion, knowledge and skills will be invaluable while we venture into the San Francisco market.”
As a native of Cleveland, Ohio, Loris attended Kent State University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration and marketing. In addition to her work at the hotel, Menfi is a member of the American Hotel & Lodging Association. In her free time, Menfi enjoys traveling, running and spending time with her family.
