Ensemble Investments' Hospitality Division today announced the appointment of Daisy Pinedo, Director of Transient Luxury Sales, effective immediately.

Pinedo will develop luxury sales initiatives and will forge relationships with key industry partners and top-tier travel advisors to drive global awareness and deliver memorable stays for the company's premier portfolio of luxury properties including Bernardus Lodge & Spa in Carmel Valley, Calif., Vintners Resort in Santa Rosa, Calif., and the highly anticipated La Bahia Hotel & Spa in Santa Cruz, Calif., set to open in summer 2025.

Based in Long Beach, Ensemble currently oversees a portfolio generating more than $200 million in annual revenue that includes 14 hotel properties in 12 markets in five states nationwide. With a dedicated team of over 1,000 hotel employees, they prioritize delivering extraordinary service, ensuring memorable experiences for guests.

"We're thrilled to welcome Daisy to our team," said Kristi Allen, Executive Vice President of Hotels at Ensemble. "Her extensive background in luxury hospitality sales and her passion for creating exceptional guest experiences make her a perfect fit for our growing portfolio of properties."

With more than 15 years of luxury hospitality experience, Pinedo brings a proven track record of building and nurturing high-end leisure business. She began her career at ALTOUR in Brentwood, Calif., as a Corporate Travel Agent before transitioning to the hotel side, where she worked with notable brands such as Grand Hyatt on Park Avenue in New York, Kimpton Hotels in New York, Pacifica Hotels in Los Angeles, and most recently Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

Ensemble is thrilled to announce the upcoming La Bahia Hotel & Spa opening summer 2025. This luxury oceanfront retreat will feature 155 elegantly designed rooms and suites, ocean-view dining, and a full-service spa, offering a seamless blend of timeless sophistication and coastal charm. Nestled along the Pacific Coast, La Bahia celebrates its dramatic setting, where the tip of Monterey Bay touches Santa Cruz's coveted Main Beach.

Ensemble is looking forward to the extensive renovation and transformation of Vintners Resort into a yet to be named resort, which is Sonoma County's first luxury resort on a working vineyard. The newly renovated Resort will be an intimate hideaway set amidst redwood trees, colorful gardens, and fountain courtyards. Guests can connect to the land at John Ash, one of Sonoma's first farm-to-table restaurants, overlooking a vineyard, and relax at the spa or splash in the all new resort pool complete with a new pool bar, or play a game of bocce ball. Embraced by a 92-acre estate and located just 60 miles north of San Francisco, Vintners Resort is the gateway to the Russian River Valley and all of Sonoma County's famed wineries and culinary destinations.

Ensemble also presents a creative haven that stirs all senses, Carmel Valley blends nature's majesty with man's artistry. And there's no better place to tap into its small-town charms than at Bernardus Lodge & Spa. Tucked among 28 acres of rolling vineyards, orchards and gardens, Bernardus invites you to savor the intimacy of a stylish wine country resort with an epicurean spirit and a soothing soul. Bernardus Lodge & Spa is ideally nestled in sunny Carmel Valley on the famed Monterey Peninsula, just 1.5 hours from the San Jose International Airport and within easy reach of the San Francisco Bay Area. Not far from the bustle of the city, escape to our near perfect climate, tranquil setting and rich sense of place near one of Northern California's most artistic towns, surrounded by the picturesque Santa Lucia mountain range and just minutes from the coast.
