Russell Tanakaya Receives Embassy Suites' Highest Honor
BREA — Russell Tanakaya, general manager of the Embassy Suites Brea-North Orange County, was recently recognized with the brand’s highest honor — the 2010 Hervey Feldman Award.
The award, named in honor of the first Embassy Suites president, is given during the brand’s annual conference. It recognizes a general manager of one of the 210 Embassy Suites hotels who demonstrates outstanding leadership and superb management.
This is the second consecutive year that a general manager from a property managed by Windsor Management Services has earned this prestigious award. Tim Billing, general manager of the Embassy Suites San Luis Obispo, was the 2009 recipient.
Windsor Management Services is the hotel management company of Santa Monica-based WCG Hotels. The firm manages nearly 30 upscale hotels throughout the U.S.
“We are extremely proud of Russ,” said Bill Upshaw, president and chief operating officer of Windsor Management Services. “He embodies the service culture we foster at the properties we manage.”
Upshaw added, “Back-to-back years of our general managers winning this award is a testament to our entire Windsor Management Services team and their ongoing commitment to the Embassy Suites ‘make a difference’ values.”
The Hervey Feldman Award winner was announced during the Embassy Suites Annual Conference, held this year in New Orleans. At the same conference, Regina Samy, regional vice president for Windsor Management Services, was honored with an inaugural Embassy Suites Make a Difference Medallion by Melissa Smith, West Coast regional brand performance manager.
Samy oversees management of Windsor Management’s Central and Southern California properties, including the hotels managed by Tanakaya and Billing.
