A new face has just been appointed to a key position within the 20 million pound Casa Hotel Development in Chesterfield. Shaun McGachan will become Operations Manager at the new Hotel joining the group after being General Manager for the Borrego Ranch Resort & Spa Hotel in Borrego Springs, California.
Shaun has a very forward thinking approach to his position and his experience in both European and American styles of hospitality has influenced his management approach. Shaun spent over five years in Borrego Springs - first as Assistant General Manager when the property was La Casa del Zorro, and then, through the change in ownership and re-launch, as General Manager of Borrego Ranch Resort & Spa.
Shaun said: "It is fantastic to be back in Chesterfield and working for such a thriving development as Casa. The hotel is a great investment for the town and will reflect a true sense of Derbyshire as well as bringing in that subtle sense of Spanish flair. The hotel is progressing at a very fast pace and the whole team is excited about it's opening later this year."
Educated in travel and tourism at New College Nottingham, England and then in hotel management at Cornell University in New York, Shaun has gained experience at various high end resorts including the historic Harbor View Hotel on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Stuart Downham, Operations Director at Casa, said: "It is fantastic to have Shaun on board as he brings such a wealth of knowledge and experience with him from across the globe. Casa is now being driven by a very experienced team and we hope this will be evident when the hotel opens in November."
The Casa development, which will open in late 2010, will be complete with state of the art facilities; 4 stylish suites, 2 with balcony hot tubs; a 100-cover restaurant which will serve top-class traditional Spanish tapas, the latest leisure facilities in the Boost Gym, open terraces and landscaped gardens.
