Hospitality expert brings 25+ years of experience.
VICTORIA, BC – Hotel industry veteran Don Fennerty is bringing his years of hotel industry experience to Accent Inns, Inc., British Columbia’s fastest growing independent hotel chain, as the Vice-President of Operations.
Returning to Victoria, Fennerty will lead the team of general managers in day-to-day operations for both the Accent Inns value brand across BC, and the daring Hotel ZED division, which operates in Victoria, Kelowna, and opening soon in Tofino.
Fennerty has more than 25 years of hospitality experience, including nearly 15 years with the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts chain at cornerstone properties in Washington, DC, Edmonton, Calgary, and Victoria. Hiring a hotel veteran like Fennerty is a classic Mandy Farmer move, CEO of Accent Inns, who strongly believes in building a team of experts.
“We are proud of the incredible work our team has done – both with re-energizing Accent Inns and with creating the unique Hotel ZED brand,” says Farmer. “The arrival of Don rounds out our team and will help us take the hotel experience to amazing new levels.”
Fennerty joins Accent Inns, Inc. at a time of tremendous growth. Because Accent Inns invests in their people, their properties and their brand they have been able to show profits far above their competitors. In 2017 alone, net income for Accent Inns rose by 185% over 2016, while one of its most robust competitors, Wyndham, increased only 42.5% in the same time period. But Accent Inns’ greatest measure of success is the happiness of their people. In their latest Spring 2018 Employee Survey, 90% report being happy in their work.
Fennerty’s role will include the holistic delivery of service and unforgettable guest experiences. In addition to aligning processes and streamlining operations, he will oversee ongoing upgrades to Accent Inn properties. Fennerty will report directly to Chris Campbell, Senior Vice-President.
