Ritz-Carlton Denver names new GM

The Ritz-Carlton Denver on Monday named the former manager for several of the resort company’s tropical properties as its new general manager.

Andrew Rogers comes to the 1881 Curtis St. hotel from the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua in Hawaii, where he oversaw the resort’s $170 million re-launch. Before then, Rogers served as resort manager for the Ritz-Carlton Club in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and director of golf operations for the Ritz-Carlton in Rose Hall, Jamaica.

Before beginning his employment for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. in 1999, Rogers worked in Marriott International’s golf division at three separate resorts. He holds a bachelor of science in marketing from Ferris State University and has a wife and two daughters.

“My family and I are excited to be in a city as wonderful as Denver and I look forward to becoming part of the community,” Rogers said in a news release.

The Ritz-Carlton Denver property includes 202 guest rooms spread over 14 floors, a spa and Elway’s Downtown restaurant.
