DENVER – January 29, 2013 – Leigh Hitz, president and chief executive officer of Stout Street Hospitality, recently announced that Tom Thomas has been hired as the general manager of Magnolia Hotel Dallas.
 
“Tom brings a diverse range of experiences to Magnolia Hotel Dallas,” said Hitz. “He’s worked for branded properties, heavily group-focused hotels, as well as boutique properties in top metropolitan markets. His extensive background makes him the perfect fit to lead our team in Dallas.”
 
Tom has more than 35 years of travel and hospitality experience throughout the United States. He most recently managed an Embassy Suites in Frisco, Texas. He spent many years with Hilton Hotels as a general manager in Chicago and various locations in Texas.

Earlier in his career, Tom worked for a number of conference center hotels managed by Benchmark Hospitality.
 
He also flexed his entrepreneurial skills when he helped start a hospitality company in the early 2000s. His role a president of the company allowed him to focus on all areas of hospitality management from real estate to asset management.
