Ryan O'Connor New Director of (I) Spa
Intercontinental San Francisco Announces the Promotion
November 10, 2010 - The (I) Spa is pleased to announce the promotion of Ryan O'Connor from Assistant Spa Director to Spa Director for this award-winning spa located at the InterContinental San Francisco. In his new role, O'Connor will manage and oversee the day-to-day operations of the ten-room treatment spa, a destination for both visitors and locals alike.
Bringing a solid background in hospitality to the (I) Spa, O'Connor's first position in the industry was that of Front Desk Lead at two Four Sisters Inns properties located in Sonoma - the Inn at Sonoma and Sonoma Creek Inn. Later, his career took him from wine country to San Francisco where he started as a Spa Coordinator and later spent two years as Revenue Manager for Spa Fusion and Health Club. In this role, O'Connor was responsible for new hires, securing new club membership and managing all of the financials for the facility.
O'Connor first joined the (I) Spa shortly after the InterContinental San Francisco opened in 2008 as the Assistant Spa Director. Having previously worked with the management team, O'Connor was excited for the opportunity to reconnect with his colleagues and learn how a higher end day spa operated. He spent two years in this position before being promoted to Spa Director, managing everything from payroll, new hires, customer service and spa operations including marketing and purchasing.
In addition to taking on the new position of Spa Director, O'Connor continues to be involved with the InterContinental San Francisco's Community Relations Committee. This team is dedicated to generating awareness and involvement in numerous philanthropic opportunities within San Francisco from coastal cleanups to the donation of used and unused hotel amenities to local homeless shelters.
Located on the sixth floor of the InterContinental San Francisco, the (I) Spa features ten treatment rooms including a couples room, Vichy Shower room, Manicure/ Pedicure station and separate men's and women's lounges. The urban spa experience is further accentuated by floor to ceiling windows in many of the rooms and a large terrace inviting guests to lounge following their treatment or take a yoga class. Guests of the (I) Spa also enjoy complimentary use of the fitness center, Swiss showers, steam room, indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi in addition to their treatment.
