The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa is proud to announce the appointment of Mike Reich as Director of Group Sales. With over 30-years of experience, Reich will manage all group sales events and will lead initiatives to bring group meetings to the newly renovated beachfront resort.
Prior to joining The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa, Reich was the regional director of sales and marketing for The Westin Baltimore Washington Airport and Sheraton Baltimore Washington Airport Hotel. Reich has also held the roles of regional director of sales and marketing for a number of prominent hotel brands including Interstate Hotels, Intercontinental Hotels and Wyndham Hotels. He began his career with Marriott, growing to become Director of Sales and Marketing. Originally from Orlando, FL, he graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Hospitality Management.
“Mike is an established sales professional with vital experience that will ensure the resort is now marketed directly to key meeting planners across the country, “ said Gail Wargo, director of sales and marketing, “We have a strong asset to expand our group sales initiatives in introducing our unique destination and spectacular oceanfront resort to a wide range of meeting audiences.”
Fresh off a $30 million complete renovation, the resort has re-emerged as a luxury oceanfront destination with unparalleled beachfront event space. The expanded air access to Savannah-Hilton Head Airport to over 4000 arriving seats daily enables groups to bask in the resort’s 37,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space including 19 meeting rooms. With 9,500 square feet of dedicated outdoor event space, groups can easily plan ocean-side functions without limiting guests’ use of the newly upgraded pool area. The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa also offers an Executive Meeting Specialist, an in-house audio/visual company, unique offsite bonding experiences and recently doubled its broadband connection capacity to 100 Mbps, which is among the fastest offered in the hospitality industry.
