Set to open mid-2022, The Langham Gold Coast and Jewel Residences managed by Langham has announced three new key appointments in its commercial team.
Christie Haworth has been appointed director of sales across both properties and will be responsible for leading the hotel sales team across all market segments, both domestically and internationally.
Haworth has made the move from Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast where she was responsible for the MICE and leisure market segments, and a lead contributor to the success of the hotel. During the pandemic, she was instrumental in rebuilding the commercial environment via a strong domestic leisure strategy and generating new MICE business.
Prior to this, Haworth was with The Star Entertainment Group, Gold Coast in a pivotal sales role which was effective in repositioning the group market following a major rebranding exercise.
Haworth has appointed Hannah Stephen as senior sales manager to manage the luxury leisure market and local MICE segment. Stephen joins The Langham, Gold Coast from her most recent role at sbe Hotels in London, where she was part of the regional sales team, and responsible for managing specialist segments including Entertainment, Fashion and Groups.
Victoria Peterson has been appointed director of marketing communications for both The Langham, Gold Coast and Jewel Residences managed by Langham. Throughout her career, she has worked across a diverse collection of industries in both small national businesses and large global companies, and spent nearly eight years with InterContinental Hotels Group working with several brands within the group.
In her new role, Peterson will be responsible for creating and driving the communication and marketing strategies to optimise public relations, social, digital, and traditional media channels for the first Langham Hotel in Queensland.
“I am thrilled to have Victoria, Christie and Hannah join me in opening the Gold Coast’s newest luxury hotel, driving the sales and marketing success for The Langham Gold Coast,” The Langham, Gold Coast and The Jewel Residences, managed by Langham director of sales and marketing, Nick Clarke said.
“Together, we will introduce a new level of luxury that the city has not seen previously through unrivalled service and product.”
When it opens, The Langham, Gold Coast will feature 169 rooms and suites and will be the third Langham luxury hotel in Australia. The group will also manage the Jewel Residences by The Langham, consisting of 170 serviced apartments.
