Michael Berk has been promoted to General Manager at Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis
Formerly the Assistant General Manager of the property, Berk was promoted to General Manager following the building's large-scale renovation and transition from the Grand Hotel Minneapolis.
Beginning his career with a bachelor's degree in Hotel Management from University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Berk quickly launched his career at the Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts working in a variety of locations. For the next 16 years, he continuously moved up the ladder, from Food and Beverage Manager to Director of Catering at one of Denver's most prominent downtown hotels. He went on to become the Director of Catering and Events at JW Marriott Denver Cherry Creek before relocating to Minneapolis, where he joined the AC Hotel Downtown Minneapolis team under Sage Hospitality. In his first Minneapolis hotel as Director of Operations, Berk's focus was to ensure the hotel delivered at a high level for the upcoming 2018 Super Bowl.
He remained successful after a move to the greater Minneapolis area as Hotel Manager at the Sheraton Hotel Bloomington where he secured capital funds to ensure an improved guest experience. You will see Berk's incredibly positive impact not only on the AC's TripAdvisor ranking but the Sheraton's as well.
He joined the Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis team as Assistant General Manager during the building's large-scale renovation and transition from the Grand Hotel Minneapolis. His unwavering leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic led to his promotion to General Manager in September 2020, just nine months later.
