Michael King has been appointed as Chief Operating Officer at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa

Michael King
As the latest progression in its evolution as a standard-defining modern luxury resort brand, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa has announced two key executive appointments; former managing director, Michael King has been named chief operating officer and Cindy Racco has been named general manager of the Five-Star, Five Diamond oceanfront resort. These leadership changes mark an exciting new phase as the brand continues to grow as the preeminent authority on the modern Palm Beach lifestyle. King joined the resort in 2010, under The Ritz Carlton brand, and led the successful launch as an independently run property, earning the prestigious Forbes-Five Star designation within three years. Under his direction, Eau Palm Beach has been decorated with the industry’s top accolades for product and service and most recently was recognized for the second year in a row as the #1 Resort in Florida (Atlantic) by Condé Nast Traveler in the publication’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards. As chief operating officer, King will develop strategies across finance, sales, marketing and talent to continue to grow the Eau Palm Beach brand.
