Alpharetta, Georgia's first boutique hotel, The Hamilton Curio Collection by Hilton, is pleased to announce the appointment of Saleh Akley as the property's new Director of Sales & Marketing. With over 20 years of experience in hospitality, Saleh will oversee all sales and marketing initiatives for the hotel and its on-site indoor and outdoor restaurant, Carrie's Conservatory.

In 2018, he helped open the Courtyard Atlanta Alpharetta/ Avalon, serving as Director of Sales until 2021. Even during the pre-opening phase of the hotel's development, he was able to exceed sales goals with both groups and transient markets. Hotel Equities, who owned the hotel and also owns and operates The Hamilton, presented the "Ramp Up" Award to Saleh as a result of these achievements.
Originally from Dubai, Saleh grew up in East Cobb after moving to the United States when he was eight years old. He started his trajectory in sales at The Westin Perimeter North in Sandy Springs, Atlanta in 2013. Prior to his role as Corporate Sales Manager, he worked within various departments at lifestyle properties, including food & beverage and operations, developing his passion for anticipating guest needs and creating unique experiences. When Saleh is outside of the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife and introducing his son to the great outdoors by camping and fishing.
