Leslie Carey

Ms. Lesley Carey has over 18 years of development, renovation and general management experience with luxury boutique hotels and resorts both in the U.S. and internationally. Ms. Carey attended Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature.

Ms. Carey has helped create, design and manage some of the top boutique hotels in the world. She managed the Argyle hotel’s full renovation and rebranding. The Argyle experienced an approximate doubling of the ADR during her tenure. She then managed the renovation and rebranding at the Orlando Hotel in Los Angeles (a luxury boutique hotel blocks away from the Beverly Center), and then the Lodge at Rancho Mirage (formerly The Ritz Carlton) in the Palm Springs area. At both hotels she assumed full general management responsibility before and after the renovation. Through Ms. Carey’s efforts there was a significant increase in ADR at both hotels. Ms. Carey also was responsible for the concept design and project management for SILQ, a luxury boutique hotel currently operating in Bangkok, Thailand. Ms. Carey has developed (2) Hotel & Resort Management Companies – Palmer Hospitality Group and Cicero Hospitality Group which successfully operated domestically and internationally.
