TUCSON, AZ. August 30, 2016 - Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort & Spa is proud to announce the appointment of its new general manager Andrew Stegen. With nearly 30 years in the hospitality industry, Stegen's background is a testament to his dedication to successful hotel management.

As general manager, Stegen will oversee daily resort operations while managing a staff of nearly 230 employees. Since its beginning in the early 1900s, the historic Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort & Spa has come to be known as the soul of the Southwest. Westward Look takes great pride in providing a superior environment for guests and members alike.

Stegen joins the Westward Look team after managing the Stockton Seaview Golf Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for the past three years. The East Coast resort is a member of Dolce Hotels and Resorts, also under the Wyndham Hotel Group umbrella. A 100-year-old former private club, the resort's long life mirrors Westward Look's history with the Tucson area, lending Stegen invaluable experience in managing a historic property. A seasoned hospitality executive, Stegen's high-quality management skills combined with an aptitude for commerce, guest and employee relations, and award-winning service, makes him an ideal fit for Westward Look.

“Westward Look's extensive history and commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience sets us apart from the competition,” said Stegen. “As general manager, I will strive to uphold the values the resort has in place and continue to improve on its solid foundation.”

Set at the base of Tucson's Santa Catalina Mountains, the 80-acre, certified green resort features desert hiking, biking and horseback-riding trails, three refreshing pools, newly resurfaced tennis courts, two on-site restaurants, 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and the botanically inspired Sonoran Spa. The resort, which combines a rich Southwestern history with modern amenities for a truly unique hospitality experience, underwent a $14 million renovation in 2009 and was recently named a AAA Four Diamond Award® recipient for the sixth year in a row.

Guests who are members of Wyndham Hotel Group's revolutionary Wyndham Rewards® program can earn points for their stays at Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort & Spa, which can be redeemed for complimentary hotel stays and other options. More information is available at www.wyndhamrewards.com.
