Maibach, a veteran of the hospitality industry with extensive experience at the luxury end of the hotel spectrum, will be overseeing the Black Point Inn�s permanent and seasonal staff of 90 employees. Top priorities include the implementation of elevated service standards and the creation of recreational programs and amenities to enhance the guest experience at this quintessential New England destination. �The Black Point Inn traditionally has been a legendary destination for four star service in an unparalleled setting,� said Maibach. �I am thrilled to have the opportunity to take to the inn to new heights by offering a guest experience second to none.� The inn received the 2005 Award of Excellence by Zagat Surveys. Maibach was most recently director of operations for The Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston.
