The Fairmont San Jose, an 805-room luxury hotel in the heart of Silicon Valley, proudly announces the appointment of Lisa Ares as Director of Operations. Ms. Ares, who after 14 years of working at sister Fairmont properties, officially began her new appointment last month. During her last post at the storied Fairmont Royal York (Toronto, Canada), where she served as Rooms Division Director, Lisa oversaw more than 400 colleagues and was responsible for the operation and management of the 1,365-room legacy property. Prior, she spent a number of years at sister properties including The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and The Fairmont Banff Springs holding progressive positions. Kelley Cosgrove, General Manager of The Fairmont San Jose shares, “I am delighted to welcome Lisa to Silicon Valley. She brings keen insight into the services and amenities most prized by the global traveler and I am confident she will help further guide our prominent hotel to new heights of luxury and guest satisfaction. Ms. Ares holds a Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality Management from Vancouver Community College, Vancouver, B.C. and is currently completing her Masters degree in Tourism Management from Royal Roads University in Victoria, B.C. A “wanna-be” foodie who always prefers eating over cooking, Lisa looks forward to discovering the food and wine bounties of Northern California.
