The Journeyman Hotel announced the appointment of hospitality professional Lucas Lopresti to its leadership team. In his role, Lopresti will focus on cross-departmental alignment and leverage competitive Chicago market experience to optimize property performance and elevate guest and community activations across the Historic Third Ward property.
A true Kimpton brand success story, Lopresti’s career began as a Bellman of the Kimpton Gray Hotel in Chicago as a front desk agent before transitioning to sales coordinator in the summer of 2022. Demonstrating exceptional leadership and strategic vision, Lopresti rapidly advanced through the ranks—serving as sales manager, senior sales manager, and associate director of sales at Kimpton Gray Hotel—before stepping into his current executive role as Director of Sales and Marketing at The Kimpton Journeyman Hotel in Milwaukee.
Lopresti’s appointment brings a heightened level of hospitality leadership and an inspiring strategic vision to Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward. Focused on redefining boutique hospitality in the district, his operational vision centers on driving seamless cross-departmental alignment, transforming the lobby and rooftop bar at The Outsider into dynamic social hubs through curated arts and music programming, and deepening local community integration. To bridge neighborhood engagement with guest experience, Lopresti introduced a targeted zip-code verification initiative offering exclusive perks for local residents—setting a vibrant new benchmark for neighborhood connection and guest hospitality.
Outside of hospitality, Lopresti enjoys exploring Milwaukee's local food scene and neighborhood art galleries, while remaining a dedicated New York Jets fan in Wisconsin.
