Mr. Baker has been the managing director at The Mansion on Turtle Creek for over three years. During his tenure at The Mansion on Turtle Creek, the hotel was named as the top hotel for service by Travel + Leisure magazine, marking the first time an American hotel has received this honor. Mr. Baker has maintained the hotel's five-star, five-diamond rating; and recently, he oversaw the addition of the health and fitness center. His expertise will now benefit the Hotel Crescent Court, which has been awarded accolades as one of the "Greatest Hotels in the World" by Travel + Leisure magazine, and The Spa at The Crescent is consistently rated among the top spas in the country.

"Mr. Baker has been an incredible asset to The Mansion on Turtle Creek, and has served as an ambassador for Rosewood to the Dallas community. We are very excited about the synergy he will be creating between the two Dallas Rosewood properties," stated John Scott, President & CEO of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.
