BOULDER, CO. March 14, 2017 - Denver-based Sage Hospitality, one of the nation's top hotel investment and management companies, is excited to announce the addition of two new leaders to the executive team at Boulder's Embassy Suites by Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn, Kathleen Bates as General Manager and Angela Blackstock as Director of Sales and Marketing. The pair will lead the brand-new, dual-branded property currently under construction at the intersection of Canyon Blvd. and 28th St.

“It's an incredible opportunity to work together on the opening and direction of the Hiltons on Canyon, which has been a highly anticipated project,” said Bates. “We're excited to be part of the amazing Boulder community.”

Bates is a veteran at Sage Hospitality and comes to the Hiltons on Canyon with nearly 20 years of experience, including time as General Manager at properties like the Denver Airport Marriott at Gateway Park, Holiday Inn Stapleton and Residence Inn by Marriott Denver City Center. Bates has been an active member of many charitable organizations including the Denver's Road to Work, an organization of which she was a founding member. Bates has a great passion for helping those with barriers to employment and has been a key player in the organization's success since 2008.

Blackstock comes from the Renaissance Boulder Flatiron Hotel and brings with her more than 25 years' experience in all facets of hospitality at properties in Boulder and throughout metro Denver. Blackstock has a proven track record of hotel sales and strong team management skills and was Director of Sales & Marketing of the year at White Lodging in 2015. Blackstock has been a member of the Boulder County community for many years and volunteers her time at a food bank in Longmont, where she is one of the organization's longest-tenured volunteers.
