NATICK, MA. October 26, 2017 - Distinctive Hospitality Group (DHG), in conjunction with The Holiday Inn Boston-Bunker Hill, is pleased to announce the appointment of hospitality industry veteran Jim Harvey to the post of General Manager, where he will oversee all hotel operations alongside the hotel's leadership teams.

With over two decades of professional experience under his belt, Harvey began his career in 1989 when he assumed an Assistant General Manager role with the distinguished Winegardner & Hammons Hotel Group.

Throughout his time as a General Manager, Harvey has worn many hats that have included working in brand relations, sales, and human resources.

Harvey's well established career in the hotel industry has given him a strong understanding of all aspects of hotel operations, and his experience and ability to collaborate with both colleagues and the community will make him an extraordinary asset to the team at The Holiday Inn Boston-Bunker Hill.
