The Sullivan Hotel welcomed two highly-motivated and experienced professionals to its hotel management team. Michael McKeighan is taking over as general manager and alongside Lyn Rich as director of sales and marketing for the hotel.
"Michael and Lyn are both accomplished professionals in the field of hotel management," said Randy Resnick, co-owner of the hotel. "The entire staff at The Sullivan Hotel is eager to see the direction the hotel will take under their leadership."
McKeighan received his undergraduate degree from SUNY Adirondack before pursuing his master degree from The College of Saint Rose. McKeighan has used his education and multi-faceted skill by working to better hotels along the east coast.
For the last six years, McKeighan has served as the general manager for the Boston Hotel Buckminister, in the heart of Boston's Kenmore Square. McKeighan traded the heart of Boston for the heart of the Catskills when deciding to work for The Sullivan Hotel. McKeighan's experience in hotel management also includes overseeing institutions such as Best Western International, Hostelling International and L&M Hotel Management, where McKeighan and Rich began their professional partnership.
Lyn Rich earned her Bachelor of Science degree in business administration and management from SUNY Plattsburgh. Over the last 20 years, Rich has worked in Texas, Massachusetts, and New York with focuses in sales management and tourism. Prior to joining the management team at The Sullivan, Rich served as the director of sales and marketing for L&M Hotel Management.
