March 24, 2011 - Harry Lunt moves down the street to reopen
the famous The
Cheshire Inn as General Manager for (LHM) Lodging Hospitality
Management.
The Cheshire is scheduled to reopen in July after a multi-million
dollar
refurbishment. Lunt most recently spent the last two years opening The
Moonrise Hotels (Part of Desires Hotels) where he held the title of
Director of
Sales & Marketing. Mr. Lunt is a seasoned travel and hospitality executive. Lunt spent the first twelve years of his career traveling to 133 countries with Intrav, the St. Louis based International Travel Company (formerly owned by Mr. Barney Ebsworth); with The five-star, five-diamond Renaissance Cruise Line as Director of Guest Services, and as a Regional Sales & Marketing Director, with Royal Olympic Cruise Lines. Lunt started with Starwood Hotels & Resorts in 1999,
where he earned the North American Award for excellence in Catering
&
Convention Services in his first year with Westin. The following
year,
Lunt was then hand-picked to open the prestigious St. Regis Monarch
Beach
Resort & Spa in Dana Point, CA. As an opening Director, Lunt
and his
team of over 100 earned the coveted five-star, five-diamond award given
to only
a rarified few. Lunt has held Senior Sales and Director of
Operation
positions (and won prestigious awards) at some of the highest ranked
hotels and
resorts in the nation, including the St. Regis, Aspen and Lodge &
Spa at
Cordillera in the Vail Valley, and perhaps the greatest of them all the
Waldorf=Astoria in New York City. Additionally, Lunt’s background is wide reaching, holding
such titles as Director of Food & Beverage: Club, Suites &
Catering for
the St. Louis Blues and Scottrade as well as General Manager of Grand
Prix
Speedways. Most recently, Harry opened Joe Edward’s newest
development,
the Moonrise Hotel, as Director of Sales and Marketing. Harry was
instrumental in helping the hotel achieve various benchmarks such as
top
ratings on TripAdvisor.com. Lunt is now working on opening the
storied
Cheshire, (the first phase of the project) and is assembling a team
which will
bring excitement back to 6300 Clayton Road. You can contact Mr. Harry
