DALLAS, TX (December 3, 2024) – Omni Hotels & Resorts is pleased to
announce the appointment of Gayla Guyse as General Manager of the highly
anticipated Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel, the brand’s third property in
Florida. With more than 25 years of dedicated service and operational
excellence at Omni, Guyse brings a wealth of leadership experience to
the property, set to open in Fall 2025.
The 29-story hotel development will be connected directly to the Broward
County Convention Center, poised to be one of the premier convention
venues in the country following its ongoing renovation and expansion.
The property will offer 801 guest rooms and 82 suites, nine food and
beverage outlets, a vibrant rooftop bar, a sprawling pool, a
full-service spa, and fitness center. The hotel will also have over
120,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space,
including a 30,000 square foot Waterway Ballroom, a 15,000 square foot
Port Everglades Ballroom, 27 breakout rooms, and multiple pre-function
meeting spaces with waterfront views.
In her new role, Guyse will lead the opening of the hotel and oversee
all departments including operations, sales and marketing, rooms, risk
management, and food and beverage.
“We’re continually working to “grow the garden” by investing in the
right talent who will not only empower teams but also prioritize their
personal growth within the company,” said Vince Parrotta, Chief
Operating Officer at Omni Hotels & Resorts. “Gayla’s strategic insights
and consistent performance have played a key role in her rise at Omni,
and we’re excited to have her lead the charge as we introduce the brand
to Fort Lauderdale.”
Throughout her career, Guyse has held key leadership roles across
multiple Omni properties, including positions as General Manager of Omni
Dallas Hotel at Park West, Director of Sales & Marketing at Omni Frisco
Hotel at The Star, and Director of Catering and Conference Services at
both Omni Fort Worth Hotel and Omni Dallas Hotel at Park West. Most
recently, Guyse served as General Manager at Omni Frisco Hotel at The
Star, where she led with distinction for over two years. Prior to that
