Oxford Capital's LondonHouse Chicago Names Adam Schomaker as Director of Sales and Marketing
The 452-room hotel will open in Spring 2016 on Chicago's Famed North Michigan Avenue.
CHICAGO, IL. January 20, 2016 - Adam Schomaker has been named Director of Sales and Marketing for LondonHouse Chicago, Oxford Capital's latest luxury lifestyle hotel opening spring 2016. He will oversee all sales, marketing and e-commerce efforts for the 452-room property.
"Adam's proven sales and marketing leadership in the industry and his experience opening The Godfrey Hotel and making it the sought-after destination it is today make him a natural fit for LondonHouse Chicago," says George Jordan, Senior Vice President of Operations for Oxford Hotels & Resorts. "We are excited to have him at the helm of sales and marketing as we prepare for another successful opening of a new brand."
Schomaker brings 16 years of sales and marketing experience to LondonHouse Chicago, having represented internationally renowned brands in the Midwest and Northwest including luxury independent hotels.
Most recently at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago, Schomaker oversaw the sales, public relations, marketing, social media, and revenue streams at the 221-room independent luxury lifestyle hotel in Chicago's downtown River North neighborhood. There he led his team in earning two HSMI Adrian Awards for digital marketing and public relations in 2014. In 2012, he was honored by industry peers as one of Collinson Media's Connect Marketplace 40 under 40. Schomaker studied hotel and restaurant management at Northwood University and earned his Certified Meetings Professional designation in 2011.
"Expanding my role within the Oxford team to open another luxury hotel brand in Chicago shortly after opening The Godfrey Hotel last year is both an exciting and humbling experience," said Schomaker. "From the gorgeous guest rooms to the elegant and modern ballroom and three level rooftop bar, LondonHouse will be a destination unlike any other in the city and I look forward to introducing it to future guests."
LondonHouse Chicago is located at the corner of North Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive in Chicago's iconic London Guarantee Building and the new adjacent 22-story architecturally synchronized modernist glass LondonHouse Tower. Designed by Chicago architecture firm Goettsch Partners, LondonHouse Chicago will feature nearly 25,000 square feet of meeting and event space, a tri-level bar and rooftop terrace, a spa, a fitness center and more.
