Buxton Crescent, the luxury Peak District hotel with a spa and wellness centre, has appointed Stephen Ewing as deputy general manager.
Ewin will be supporting general manager Deirdre Billing at the 81-bedroom Buxton Crescent hotel and spa, as well as the nearby sister property The Old Hall Hotel.
He will work with the existing management team to develop all operational aspects of the property across the spa, F&B and Front of House whilst supporting Billing and her vision for the hotel.
Originally from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, he began his career in the leisure industry in Cheshire, as Leisure Club and Spa manager at Macdonald Portal Hotel and then at Mottram Hall, the Champneys hotel where he went on to become Spa director.
Ewing has also held roles at Carden Park in Cheshire as Leisure and Spa director, and at Norton Grange in Manchester as Leisure Club manager, a role he held for five years.
Ewing is a UK Spa Association board member, a position where he supports the industry with training and development, wellbeing initiatives and tackling the challenges across recruitment.
Most recently, he was GM of Hale Country Club and Spa in Altrincham for two years, before his move to the five-star Buxton Crescent in the Peak District.
Ewing said: “Buxton Crescent really is a unique proposition within the spa market – a luxury hotel and modern spa housed within a Grade I Georgian listed building. We really want to put the hotel ‘on the map’ as an outstanding destination spa in the UK. It’s a beautiful, iconic building; a hidden gem in the middle of the Peak District offering an exceptional guest experience. I am excited for what the future holds and working hard to make it happen.”
Billing added: “We are thrilled to welcome Stephen to work with the team at Buxton Crescent and to maintain and develop all areas of the hotel, spa and F&B. He has a great deal of experience in spa and wellbeing in a luxury environment, and has a true understanding of our vision for the future.”
