Neeta Mayur
Mayur began her hospitality career with Donohoe in 2010 as a revenue manager at the Holiday Inn Washington Capital – National Mall, an IHG Hotel. Shortly thereafter, her role was expanded to include the Holiday Inn Arlington at Ballston, an IHG Hotel along with offering guidance to other DHS hotels. She was promoted to corporate director of revenue management in 2019 and has been instrumental helping to incorporate 1,135 rooms and seven new brands into three new submarkets over the past 16 months.
“Over the past decade-plus, I have focused on improving revenue management throughout our portfolio,” Mayur said. “I plan to use my new position and regional market knowledge to pursue demand-generating events and larger accounts as the industry and region rebound.”
Seon Heo
Heo joined Donohoe Hospitality Services in 2020 from PM Hotel Group, where she served as VP of sales and marketing. During her tenure with Donohoe, she has played an active role in talent acquisition and providing strategic guidance and mentorship to the company’s sales leaders. Additionally, she has supported efforts to pursue major group contracts as well as maximizing the use of technology and brand tools to monetize the business. Heo has held sales and marketing positions with Hersha Hospitality Management and The Doyle Collection.
“While group and catering business have yet to return to 2019 levels, I continue to support our corporate and property efforts to maximize the opportunities our hotels have in their respective markets,” Heo said. “I enjoy working closely with our property leaders and intend to drive revenue generation while meeting both Donohoe’s and our ownership groups’ objectives. As the light at the end of the tunnel comes into sharper focus, I look forward to advancing Donohoe further into the next phase of the economic cycle.”
