Elston has been honored with numerous awards, including receiving Sage's Property of the Year, Community Service Award, Excellence in Profit Performance and Excellence in Revenue Performance while at the Curtis. She also earned the President's Award at Wyndham Hotels and the Golden Circle Silver Level at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company for being in the top 6% of all sales people.
“JoAnn has been a strong leader at the Curtis for the past four years and we are thrilled to have her energetic and creative style at the JW Marriott Cherry Creek,” said Vincent Piro, Division Vice President of Operations for Sage's Premier & Lifestyle portfolio. “She has a fantastic understanding of the local hotel market and will continue to position the JW Marriott Denver Cherry Creek as one of Denver's top luxury hotels.”
