Turnberry has named 20-year hospitality industry veteran Mary Rogers as executive vice president of hospitality operations.
With a focus on value creation, enhancing guest engagement and elevating service standards, Rogers will lead all aspects of Turnberry’s hospitality operations and oversee hospitality leadership teams across all properties. Her responsibilities will extend to strategic planning, budgeting and sales and marketing initiatives, with a focus on repositioning assets with innovative service models, programming and world-class dining and lifestyle experiences. She will also play a critical role in talent development and leadership cultivation.
In this role, she will work closely with Turnberry branding partners, including Marriott and Hyatt, to optimize brand alignment, and execute long-term strategic initiatives including the pre-opening and stabilization of properties.
Turnberry currently has two major luxury hospitality projects in development: The St. Regis Nashville and The Residences at The St. Regis Nashville, with 145 hotel guest rooms and 192 residences; and the 800-key Grand Hyatt Miami Beach connected to the Miami Beach Convention Center in partnership with Terra Group.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mary Rogers back to the Turnberry team,” said Jackie Soffer, Chairman and CEO of Turnberry. “Mary brings the expertise, skill set and drive we need to maintain the standard of excellence we’ve established across our growing hospitality portfolio. Her leadership will be essential as we continue shaping the future of Turnberry’s hospitality division and setting new industry benchmarks.”
Previously, Rogers was the nanaging director and area general manager of Montage Laguna Beach, Montage Healdsburg, Pendry West Hollywood and Pendry San Diego. Before Montage, Rogers was the vice president and general manager of Fontainebleau Miami Beach, the first female to serve in that capacity since the resort’s opening in 1954. Prior, she had worked at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, working at hotels and resorts across the U.S. and beyond. Rogers holds a Bachelor of Arts in hotel and catering management and graduated magna cum laude from Atlantic Technical University in Galway, Ireland.
