Shawn Jervis Tapped to Take Over Indian Wells Resort
INDIAN WELLS, CA. April 25, 2016 - Shawn Jervis, most recently with The Embassy Row Hotel, A Destination Hotel in Washington D.C., has been named the general manager of the Miramonte Resort & Spa, a desert retreat in the heart of Indian Wells, California.
In his new position, Jervis will oversee all day-to-day operations for the 215-room, 11-acre resort directing activities such as sales and marketing, food and beverage and ongoing property repositioning.
“Shawn is joining this beautiful hotel at a key juncture,” said Kevin Regan, senior vice president of operations for the west of Destination Hotels. “Following the recent completion of $4 million in refurbishments, we are now keenly focused on further enhancing the property's reputation as a prime desert destination - and are working to take it to even higher levels of excellence. Shawn has a successful track record in brand development, strategic planning, guest service and leadership, and we are confident he will help us surpass our goals on all levels.”
