Executive Plaza Hotel – Metro Vancouver
The Executive Hotels was founded in 1986 by my family and spearheaded by my mom. In 2013 I took over leadership of the Executive Plaza Hotel and embarked on a mission to introduce changes and re-position the hotel into a market leader. Under my leadership I introduced innovations including customer service training and renovating guest rooms and public areas. I also rebranded the Restaurant and opened a Brew Pub, and Liquor Store on site. Building bridges with the community and creating strategic partnerships with local charities has created an atmoshphere of goodwill and kept the Executive Plaza in the forefront as a key destination and gathering place for many businesses, families and groups. Confirming my commitment to growth and scalability I am proud to be opening my newest business – a Luxury Boutique Hotel in Downtown Vancouver. I’m overseeing the development, design and construction of this new property and am thrilled to be expanding into the luxury market.
Congratulations Sophia and wishing you every success in the new one in Down Town and pray you receive the 2018 award.
