Destination Hotels & Resorts Taps Hanke and Doyle to Join Destination Resorts Snowmass Executive Team

SNOWMASS VILLAGE, Colo. – Sept. 25, 2006 – Mark Hickey, senior vice president of operations for Destination Hotels & Resorts, today announced two key executive committee appointments at the company’s Destination Resorts Snowmass property in Colorado. Lee Hanke joins the property as controller and Caitlin Doyle will be the human resources manager for the complex.

This is Hanke’s second assignment with DH&R as he worked for the company’s Stonebridge Inn in Snowmass in the late 1990s. Hanke most recently worked as an assistant manager and controller for another local condominium association. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.

At Destination Resorts Snowmass, Hanke will be responsible for all on-site accounting functions to ensure property fiscal management as well as timely and accurate reporting and analysis. He will work in conjunction with property General Manage Dave Spence to manage and regulate all internal financial controls at the resort.

For Doyle, this too is a homecoming of sorts as she worked in the Destination Resorts Snowmass human resources department from 1997 to 2002. In her new role, she will oversee all human resources functions for the property. She will work with managers and staff to support the day-to-day operations of the property and assist management in aligning the hotel’s policies and procedures with the overall business objectives. In her position she will coach and counsel management, hire and retain talent, as well as oversee all employee relations and labor-related issues.

Doyle is a graduate of Central Michigan University. She started in the hospitality industry with Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center where she was a guest relations manager. She originally joined Destination after working in operations and human resources for Marriott.
