Clift Hotel Appoints Kevin Busch as DoM
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - (May 13, 2010) - Clift, a Morgans' Original, is pleased to announce the appointment of Kevin Busch as Director of Marketing. San Francisco's most daring and deluxe hotel, Clift opened in 1913 and was completely renovated by Morgans Hotel Group in 2001.
Elegant and sophisticated, yet in a totally modern way, Clift takes conventional hotel philosophy and turns it on its head. While still bearing the hallmarks of the traditional luxury hotel experience, such as exemplary service and amenities, what makes Clift special and sets it apart is the unique energy created by its daring and brilliant juxtapositions.
Brian Jones, Senior Vice President of Sales for Morgans Hotel Group said, “We are delighted to welcome Kevin to the Morgans team in San Francisco to lead the marketing effort at Clift. San Francisco is such an important destination for our guests and we are confident that his leadership will help us achieve great success.”
David Curell, Clift General Manager, said, “We are thrilled to have Kevin join Clift and welcome his vast experience and his strategic outlook and creative ideas on business development.”
Busch is a seasoned hotelier with 20 years of experience at a variety of properties throughout Southern California and Hawaii. He most recently served as director of sales and marketing at the Hilton Long Beach & Executive Meeting Center. This will be Busch's first post in Northern California.
The 372 guest rooms at Clift are generously scaled and beautifully appointed. Outfitted in tranquil and warm shades of ivory, grey and lavender, they exude a sensual softness that is a welcome counterpoint to the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Clift is located at 495 Geary Street at Taylor Street, just steps away from Union Square in the heart of San Francisco. Telephone: 415.775.4700. Web site: www.clifthotel.com. Twitter: @morganshotels.
