Tim Thuell to Head The Inn at Dos Brisas
June 17, 2010 - If you've ever mused that The Inn at Dos Brisas, that gem of a Relais & Châteaux resort in Washington, Texas, is absolutely perfect and couldn't possibly get any better -- hold on to that ten-gallon hat. Tim Thuell, one of the country's most highly regarded and distinguished hoteliers, is bringing his unflappable British-ness, worldly vision, American sensibilities, and award-winning expertise to the 300-acre, casita luxury ranch, which features the only Forbes 5-Star restaurant in all of Texas.
The experts who have followed Tim Thuell's extensive career from the beaches of Bermuda and the Caribbean to the Adirondack north woods, to the rolling hills of NapaValley and the storied cliffs of Newport, know the benefits he'll bring to Dos Brisas.
As Jaume Tapies, International President of the Relais & Châteaux organization, explains, “To manage a Relais & Châteaux is not like managing a conventional hotel. In fact, it is like running a private house with the highest standards of comfort and service, requiring not only a hotel manager but a truly devoted personality with a perfect understanding of 'the Art of Living.' Tim Thuell,” he continues, “is a meticulous professional, highly cultured, and has an incredible eye for detail. He has a sense of charm and harmony that make clients feel at home. He has what it takes to have run some of the greatest US country house hotels - with great success.”
Shane O'Flaherty, President and CEO of Forbes Travel Guide points out that “Dos Brisas boasts one of the finest culinary experiences in the country and offers guests hospitality that is beyond compare in the region. If the property's track record and Tim Thuell's experience at the helm of some of the world's finest hotels are any indication, guests of the Inn at Dos Brisas can anticipate one of the most unique and luxurious hospitality experiences in the Southwest.”
Bill Harlan, owner of Meadowood, the renowned Napa Valley Relais & Châteaux resort, worked closely with Thuell during his tenure there, stating, “Tim is far more than just an extremely competent manager; the value that he added to our property is hard to define, yet unquestionable. Call it grace, and cohesion, and personal warmth. The whole place took on something of his character - which is truly sterling.”
