DALLAS – December 12, 2022 – Fairmont Dallas welcomes David Sher as
general manager of the iconic Dallas Arts District hotel which
celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019. Sher is returning to Fairmont
Dallas after previously serving as Director of Operations at the
property from 2015 to 2020. He joins the hotel’s leadership team after
most recently serving as the general manager of Fairmont Pittsburgh.
“During my more than 25 years in hospitality, I’ve had the pleasure
of working in luxury hotels, restaurants, and entrepreneurial venues in
multiple cities and countries,” Sher said. “I am thrilled to return
to Dallas, to the first Fairmont hotel in the state of Texas, as general
manager. This property is as rich in talent as it is in history, and I
look forward to leading the team into a successful 2023 and beyond.”
Sher brings an impressive background and a great deal of experience back
to the hotel, including the completion of Accor’s International Management
Hospitality program in 2019. The program provided networking
opportunities with stellar hospitality professionals, key insights from
the decades of success, and unparalleled hospitality offered by Accor
properties, and resulted in Sher elevating his thinking about
hospitality.
“David is a very strong executive who repeatedly delivers strong
business results,” Mark Huntley, Regional Vice President of the
Mid-Atlantic, U.S.A., for Accor. “He will bring a fresh perspective to
the Fairmont Dallas, one of the most iconic hotels in Dallas”
