The Omni Homestead Resort Appoints New Director of Sales and Marketing

USA, Hot Springs, Virginia. May 23, 2018

The Omni Homestead Resort, a premier destination located across more
than 2,000 scenic mountain acres, recently appointed Richard A. Ross as
the new director, sales and marketing for the property. In his role,
Ross will lead the departments responsible for catering and convention
service, marketing and communications, group sales, revenue management
and resort membership in addition to being a member of the resort's
executive leadership committee.

Ross joins The Omni Homestead Resort with over 30 years of
operations, sales, marketing and multi-property leadership experience.
He has relocated from Dallas, Texas where he was most recently vice
president of sales for Remington Hotels. Ross realized his lifelong
dream of becoming a hotelier through his first high school job as a
busboy at the Hotel Hershey - now the Omni Bayfront in Corpus Christi,
Texas - and pursued his goals through studies in Hotel and Restaurant
Management at the Conrad Hilton College, part of the University of
Houston system.

“Richard's depth of experience, dedication to personalized service
and passion for the hotel industry is invaluable to The Omni Homestead
team,” said Brett Schoenfield, managing director. “His drive for
excellence coupled with his appreciation of the property's remarkable
history will play an important role in elevating our strategy, service
and continued authorship of The Homestead story.”

Prior to The Omni Homestead, Ross worked with brands including
Hershey, Westin and Hilton Hotels. While at Hilton Hotels, he was the
first leader assigned to the pre-opening team of the $285 million
Buffalo Thunder Golf Resort & Spa in Santa Fe, NM. Ross also spent
three years leading sales and marketing efforts for the beachfront
Hilton Sandestin Golf Resort & Spa in Florida.

In his free time, Ross enjoys the outdoors, history and sports. He is joined by his partner Rob and their pet cats, Oscar and Simon. He looks forward to exploring the Hot Springs area and all the vibrant nature, rich history and myriad of unique activities offered on property.
