La Fonda Hospitality Group Appoints Danielle Auckerman as General Manager of Newly Reimagined Piñon Court in Santa Fe
La Fonda Hospitality Group is pleased to announce Danielle Auckerman as general manager of its 58-room boutique court hotel in downtown Santa Fe, Piñon Court by La Fonda, and its brand-new on-site dining concept, Bistro & Lounge at Piñon Court.
As general manager, Auckerman ensures guest satisfaction and provides full oversight of the historic property, which was formerly Old Santa Fe Inn. The hotel recently underwent a rebrand and extensive renovation of its lobby, guest rooms and suites, while welcoming the addition of Bistro & Lounge at Piñon Court. Just steps from the city's Railyard district, it provides easy access to some of the area's most notable cultural attractions including galleries, shops, restaurants, local vendors and historical sites. The Bistro & Lounge at Piñon Court offers an elevated culinary and cocktail experience and a cozy, dog-friendly social patio along with a menu of New Mexican-inspired dishes, regionally sourced spirits and beers, and more.
"I'm very excited to take the next step in my career at Piñon Court," said Auckerman. "We offer travelers a comfortable, contemporary stay at an attainable price point, and I know this hotel is the perfect lodging option for anyone seeking an authentic Santa Fe experience in the heart of the city."
A seasoned hospitality professional with a proven track record of success in hotel management and guest services, Auckerman brings more than a decade of experience working within Santa Fe's tourism landscape. She has previously held management roles with upscale hotels throughout the city, including Santa Fe Courtyard by Marriott, The Santa Fe Sage Inn and El Corazon by Welk Resorts, most recently serving as rooms division manager at Worldmark by Wyndham.
"Danielle brings impressive experience in the hotel industry, and we're thrilled to have her as part of the team at Piñon Court, especially during this period of exciting changes and updates," said Rik Blyth, president of La Fonda Hospitality Group. "She has a deep understanding of the city of Santa Fe and knows how to make visitors feel at home here. I'm confident she will be able to provide our guests with an unforgettable experience and the high level of hospitality that has become synonymous with the La Fonda brand."
