LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – Whiteface Lodge announce that Joe Giannino has been appointed general manager of the AAA Four-Diamond, luxury all-suite resort in Lake Placid, N.Y.

Giannino brings a wealth of knowledge to Whiteface Lodge with 30 years of experience at both branded and boutique hotels and resorts, as well as upscale restaurant operations. Among his first leadership projects was a food donation effort at Whiteface Lodge, organized in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Farmers to Families Program, which handed out packages of fresh and dried foods to area residents in need.

Reflecting on his arrival, Giannino said, “Whiteface Lodge is a remarkable property, and I am excited to join such a talented team as part of the Whiteface Lodge family. I appreciate that Whiteface Lodge is a committed neighbor, and it was great to connect with my team this October for the first of what I hope are many food donation efforts that support our community.”

The resort is renowned for providing guests with memorable experiences and will benefit from the full complement of Giannino’s expertise. He joins Whiteface Lodge from IMH Columbia in Columbia, MD, where he served as the operations/asset manager of a new hotel development and oversaw all construction, design, procurement, and property management. Prior, he was the area general manager with Modus Hotels in Washington D.C. and the general manager for The Latham Hotel in the capital’s Georgetown district.

“Joe’s great experience and leadership style, coupled with his outstanding record of management success, makes him a valuable addition to our team at Whiteface Lodge,” said Donald J. Urgo Jr., Managing Partner & General Counsel, Urgo Hotels & Resorts.
