Five-star hotel Seaton House in St Andrews has appointed Stephanie Lee as director of sales and marketing.
Lee has worked in hospitality for 30 years and has 20 years of sales experience.
She brings with her a wealth of experience having started her career in hospitality 30 years ago as a student before working in North America and the UK. She joins the team from IHG Hotels and Resorts where she has worked since December 2021.
Regarding her appointment, Lee said: “Having the chance to work at Seaton House is a very exciting proposition that doesn’t come around often in Scotland, and I am very excited to be a part of this unique offering in St Andrews.
“This role will also give me a fantastic opportunity to work alongside the amazing people at Valor Hospitality and of course, our general manager Michael Davern and the amazing chef, Roy Brett.”
She continued: “With restaurants, a bar and outdoor terrace, Seaton House will provide a culinary experience like no other. Guests will be treated to à la carte and all-day dining using the finest locally sourced ingredients and expertly selected wines and whiskies.
“From our first greetings, guests staying at Seaton House will feel our warm and genuine Scottish hospitality, in a space that resonates with their needs, in this charming old town.”
The hotel’s operator, Valor Hospitality Partners, confirmed the appointment ahead of the restoration and reopening of the proud local landmark, which is scheduled to open in early 2025 and will employ more than 60 people.
With 42 luxury bedrooms including five suites and three junior suites, Seaton House offers 5-star luxury hospitality in the heart of St Andrews and is just a five-minute walk from the town’s many historic attractions, artisan shops, cafes and fine dining experiences.
Michael Davern, general manager at Seaton House, added: “We are incredibly fortunate and excited to have Stephanie join our world-class team at Seaton House. Her sales experience and passion for the local area make her a great addition to the team.
“Seaton House will benefit from her vast experience and enthusiasm which will help ensure we, as a team, can deliver best-in-class service and professionalism.”
