Greytone's San Francisco "Cluster" Holiday Party

Holiday Fun in San Francisco

The San Francisco Collection of Greystone Hotels - Hotel Griffon, the Inn at Union Square, and the King George Hotel - celebrated their annual holiday party last week in Union Square. It was a great time for all three properties to get together and celebrate the season! They celebrated with a catered lunch, a raffle with fun prizes, and, of course, with karaoke!

Along with celebrating together as a team, they participated in their own toy drive. For every present brought to the event, Greystone Hotels VP of Business Development, Marc Horodas, would match and donate to Toys for Tots. It was a great success and many toys were donated to the foundation.

Joel Majors named "GMs to Watch" by Hotel Management Magazine

General Managers to Look Out For: Joel Majors, Empress Hotel La Jolla

Joel Majors, General Manager of the Empress Hotel (La Jolla, CA) was featured in Hotel Management magazine as part of their "GMs to Watch" section.

Joel has been with Greystone Hotels for over a decade and is best known for his great work ethic and his genuine care for guests. It is one of the great ways he inspires his own staff with the concept of the Golden Rule but with his own flare to "treat guests how you would like to be treated and exceed their expectations." Joel recently faced the challenge of pleasing guests while the hotel was going through a major renovation of Greystone's La Jolla property. Joel was able to handle situations gracefully with an emphasis on the guests overall experience. Greystone Hotels is honored to have one of their esteemed General Managers featured in Hotel Management magazine.
