Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa is pleased to announce the appointment of its new Resort Manager, Paul Feakes, to lead its property team at the resort. Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa is set amid a mountainous backdrop surrounded by palm trees and sits as an idyllic resort in Palm Springs – a setting for countless activities and memorable moments in the Coachella Valley.
With two decades of experience with the Omni Brand, Feakes brings a wealth of experience to the Omni Rancho Las Palmas team. His time with the brand started at the Omni Interlocken Resort and Spa in Broomfield, CO, where he began as the Food & Beverage Outlets Manager and moved his way up to Director of Restaurants. From there, Paul rose to the Director of Food & Beverage at the Omni Mandalay Hotel, then to the Omni Severin Hotel, and eventually landed as the Director of Food & Beverage at Omni Las Colinas Hotel. After two years, Paul shifted to the Omni Dallas Convention Center Hotel where he was immersed as the Director of Food & Beverage, and was responsible for all budgeting and forecasting for F&B revenue of $56 million, oversaw the banquets and catering operations department, managed 10 on-property food & beverage outlets and helped to re-conceptualize two new outlets with new menus.
Paul’s recent move to Palm Springs was driven by a desire to be challenged in a new hospitality field and embrace life of the West Coast, with a truly new environment. “I am incredibly excited to join the team at Omni Rancho Las Palmas and be a part of this dynamic and innovative community. The resort’s commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences aligns perfectly with my vision. I look forward to implementing new initiatives that will enhance our offerings and create memorable moments for our guests.”
Originally from Minnesota, Paul now resides in Palm Springs. In his free time enjoys cooking, checking out new restaurants, traveling, hiking, attending sporting events and concerts.
