Mark Goldrup brings a wealth of hospitality experience with him to Westin Los Angeles Airport in his new role as General Manager.

Melanie Stroh has joined The Westin Los Angeles Airport as the property’s new Director of Sales. Stroh has an extensive background in sales, and has spent the last seven years growing her hospitality and leadership skills with the Westin Brand at a variety of hotels from independent and branded to airport and resort properties. Prior to this role, Stroh served as the Director of Sales and Marketing at The Westin Edmonton in Canada, and most recently at The Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage.

Most recently, Goldrup was recruited to manage the team at the flagship Toronto Marriott Eaton Centre Hotel. In 2018, he was the recipient of the prestigious Stephen G.

Goldrup is an active member of every community he is a part of and has served on boards of various Tourism Associations and Chamber of Commerces throughout his career. In this new role, he will oversee hotel operations and the guest experience, as well as actively engage and inspire his team.
