USA, Key West , Florida. January 23, 2023

The beloved Marquesa Hotel, ideally situated in the heart of the historic district of Old Town Key West, happily announces the appointment of Laurence Gottlieb as Executive Chef of the hotel's award-winning signature restaurant, Café Marquesa. In his new role, Chef Laurence will oversee all aspects of the restaurant and lead his culinary team with inspiration and passion. Chef Laurence goes above and beyond to offer not only exceptional cuisine but strives for excellence within the culinary industry, delivering thoughtfully curated menus to provide unparalleled dining experiences for every guest.

With over two decades of professional culinary experience, Chef Laurence is no stranger to exceptional personalized service, drawing from an impressive career that expands across the country - from Maine and Virginia to Texas and Georgia. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in the culinary arts from Johnson and Wales University, Chef Laurence kickstarted his career in Providence, Rhode Island as Sous Chef and Lead Baker of the refined Gatehouse Restaurant. From there, he took on executive positions at notable hotels and restaurants, including The Inn at Little Washington and the private Chatham Club in Savannah, Georgia, where he refined his culinary skills, menu development and staff management. To add, Chef Laurence was also part of the opening team at The Refuge in 2021 - a new hotel with six food outlets that he oversaw and managed - in addition to reconceptualizing his family bakery business, Gottlieb's Bakery, that has been a Savannah institution since 1884.

"We are thrilled to welcome Chef Laurence to the treasured Marquesa Hotel," says Matt Trahan, vice president, Noble House Hotels and Resorts. "With 25 years of culinary experience, he will no doubt bring his wealth of culinary knowledge to Café Marquesa, elevating the dining experience for our guests and building positive relationships with the restaurant's culinary team. Chef Laurence's keen eye for quality dishes and recipe writing are sure to continue Café Marquesa's legacy in being consistently recognized as Key West's finest small restaurant due to its hand-crafted menus and sophisticated atmosphere."

Throughout his career, Chef Laurence has received an array of coveted culinary achievements such as being nominated as a top ten Sous Chef in the United States by Bertolli Olive Oil, earning the first Four Diamond Award for a Savannah Restaurant where he maintained the award for three consecutive years, and received the Georgia Silver Spoon Award, to name a few. To showcase his skills and enthusiasm for his culinary art, Chef Laurence has also appeared in various media outlets including The New York Times, Southern Living, The Atlanta Journal Constitution and Gourmet.

Sales & Marketing: Integrating Technology


The Sales & Marketing department is responsible for maximizing a hotel's revenue by developing programs to increase occupancy and to make profitable use of its meeting and leisure facilities. Increasingly, managers are utilizing sophisticated digital technology to help them achieve those goals. Virtual Reality is being integrated into booking engines which provide potential guests the opportunity to tour a property from afar, including wedding, event and food & beverage facilities. Voice Search has also become a popular marketing tool. Using smart home devices, it's now possible for customers to book hotels entirely through voice commands. Chatbots are becoming more ubiquitous as hotels seek to refine their online customer service. Chatbots can answer common questions, push key marketing messages, increase direct bookings, and even guide customers through the booking process. Finally, hotels are already preparing for the debut of the Metaverse and planning how sales and marketing departments will fully participate. The June Hotel Business Review will focus on the sales and marketing strategies that some hotels are adopting and how they are benefiting from them.
