Angelina Covington has been appointed as General Manager at Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa
Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa, the all-encompassing resort located along Northwest Florida's Gulf coast, announces Angelina Covington as the newly appointed General Manager. Covington brings a strong knowledge of the hospitality industry and the local area to the role, in which she will focus on improving the overall guest experience, managing revenues, and overseeing the hotel's daily operations.
Covington was first hired at Hilton Sandestin Beach in 2003 by retiring General Manager, Gary Brielmayer, who also acted as her mentor throughout their years working together. Having started her career at the resort as a Restaurant Manager of one of the six on-property dining outlets, Sandcastles, Covington has a unique appreciation of the various departments within the hospitality industry to utilize in her new role.
Over the past two decades, Covington has held various positions across the resort, providing her with a deeply developed skillset that allows her a special understanding of the property, the brand and ownership. Most recently serving as the Director of Hotel Operations at Hilton Sandestin Beach, Covington became even better acquainted with the daily processes of various departments, including the resort's spa, front office, guest services, housekeeping, recreation and culinary teams.
Covington will lead Hilton Sandestin Beach in a multi-phase $30 million renovation that will be completed in 2024. The renovations will modify the look and feel of the resort while still maintaining Hilton Sandestin Beach's sense of southern hospitality that keeps its guests returning year after year.
