Chad Bates has been appointed as General Manager at Inn at SentryWorld
After building a successful career working for luxury hotels from Florida to California, Wisconsin native Chad Bates has returned home to take the reins as general manager of the Inn at SentryWorld, an upscale boutique hotel slated to open by summer 2021.
Located on the Sentry Insurance campus in Stevens Point, Wisconsin—home to SentryWorld, a championship-level parkland golf course—the Inn at SentryWorld will provide guests a masterful blend of elegance and authentic Wisconsin charm. Bates says the Inn, designed to provide exceptional experiences through exceptional service, is "the perfect opportunity and fit" for him.
Bates forged a career working for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts with a stint in between at The Lodge & Club Ponte Vedra Beach, just a stone's throw from TPC Sawgrass, home to THE PLAYERS Championship. He credits "great leaders" for helping him understand the industry.
Prior to joining the Inn at SentryWorld, Bates was assistant general manager for the Temecula Creek Inn golf resort in Southern California wine country.
