Courtyard New Orleans Downtown/Convention Center Introduces Jerry Robinson As New General Manager
Marriott is excited to announce new management at one of their premier hotels near the Superdome
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Bringing along a host of hospitality experience at properties in the Southeast, Jerry Robinson has been named general manager at Courtyard New Orleans Downtown/Convention Center.
Getting his start in the hospitality industry at the age of 16, Robinson worked for his uncle at a Fairfield Inn in his hometown of Corbin, KY. In 2006, he accepted the position of housekeeping supervisor at Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa before graduating from the University of Kentucky in 2007. After graduation, he moved to Louisville, KY as the general manager at a Hampton Inn & Suites.
Later that year, he returned to Griffin Gate Marriott as general manager. While in that role, he served as the department head for housekeeping, recreation and laundry. Robinson and his team drove service excellence in housekeeping when Griffin Gate hosted the World Equestrian Games in October 2010. In 2011, Robinson became general manager at Courtyard Lexington North, where he successfully led the hotel through a first-quarter room renovation.
Transitioning into life in the Big Easy, Robinson made a move to New Orleans in August 2014 upon accepting a general manager position at Residence Inn New Orleans Downtown, where he served most recently. From successfully improving hotel scores and rankings across the board to leading a host of community service efforts, Robinson is known for his generous spirit and helping hands.
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family, working out, playing and watching basketball and is a life-long University of Kentucky fan. He married his wife, Annie, in January 2015.
Boasting prior experience with the Courtyard brand, Robinson is excited for his new role at one of the most convenient hotels to the convention center in New Orleans.
