Hotel Manager Lands First Overseas Gig

CAVAN, IRELAND-Marshall Management Inc. of Salisbury, MD, has signed its first management contract in Europe. The manager of three- and four-star branded hotels and resorts is the new manager of Park Hotel, a 43-room property in Cavan, Ireland, located 50 miles northwest of Dublin.

Located on the shores of the Lough Ramor, the hotel is a converted 18th century, 100-acre estate owned by the Marquis of Headfort from 1750 to 1939. The property has extensive gardens and offers a quiet retreat for both leisure and corporate travelers. The hotel can accommodate meetings of up to 80 people.

The assignment was handed Marshall Management by owner Baltimore International College, an institution offering culinary and hotel management degrees. Marshall Management operates two other properties for the college. Marshall Management president Mike Marshall tells GlobeSt.com the property is used to train hotel management students and culinary students, and the college never really focused on making money. Marshall says his company’s charge is to teach the existing staff how to operate a hotel correctly by instituting standards and policies and procedures.
