Our dual-brand hotel is the Crown Jewel of central Georgia and features two highly regarded properties, a restaurant, and direct access to 65,000 square feet of meeting and convention space. Even as a new hotel, it dominates the group market segment in the area.

Experience and a proven track record are required. This is not an entry-level position.
