Essex Hotel Management has brought back industry veteran Richard Cambeis and added him to its expanding corporate team. In his new role as topline specialist, Cambeis will assist the operations and revenue management teams to drive performance across the hotel portfolio. He reports directly to Cheryl Huhn, Essex’s director of revenue and sales strategy.
