July 14, 2010 - RockResorts, a subsidiary of Vail Resorts, announces the appointment of Ben Tutt as new general manager of La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa, A RockResort. In his new role Ben will be influential in developing and implementing property-wide strategies and initiatives. He will provide leadership and direction to the property, as well as uphold La Posada's commitment to providing experiences of a lifetime.

Most recently, Ben served as the managing director of The Reefs in Southampton, Bermuda. For more than three years at the property, Ben was responsible for all marketing, budgeting, strategic and tactical visions at the resort. He played an integral role in the property's multi-million dollar mixed-use expansion and development project.

Prior to The Reefs, Ben gained managerial experience at three notable Wyndham Hotels & Resort properties: Martineau Bay Resort and Spa, in Vieques Puerto Rico, El Conquistador Resort and Golden Door Spa in Fajardo, Puerto Rico and Carmel Valley Ranch, a Wyndham Luxury Resort in Carmel, California. Ben began his career at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and brings with him more than 25 years of hospitality operations experience.

“We are thrilled to welcome Ben to our RockResorts management team,” said Paul Toner, senior vice president and chief operating officer of RockResorts and Vail Resorts Hospitality. “His recent leadership experience will be valuable to this newly-renovated resort. Ben is sure to be an asset to our team.”

Set on six beautifully landscaped acres, La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa, A RockResort, is located in the heart of Santa Fe, just blocks from the historic Plaza and art galleries. The pueblo-style village resort's $6 million dollar renovation was completed in July 2008, and invites travelers to experience the revamped, sophisticated Southwest design and updated luxury amenities. The extensive redesign enhanced all 157 guest rooms including 30 signature suites, public spaces, the RockResorts Spa, the historic Staab House and dining venues. AAA Four-Diamond award winning Fuego features contemporary, innovative cuisine presented with persona, attentive service.

As part of Vail Resorts' commitment to sustainability, La Posada de Santa Fe upholds the RockResorts environmental standards with green guest rooms, green meetings, Water on the Rocks, and more.
