SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2015 – Paul Toner brings 25 years of premier hospitality experience to his role as general manager of the JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square.

Prior to assuming leadership of the JW Marriott San Francisco, Toner was general manager of the AAA four-diamond JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa at Ko Olina in Oahu, Hawaii. During his tenure, the resort was lauded for its exceptional service, accommodations and cuisine.

From 2008 to 2012, Toner served as senior vice president and chief operating officer of RockResorts and Vail Resorts Hospitality.

AN URBAN OASIS IN SAN FRANCISCO

Throughout his career, Toner has cultivated properties to provide rich experiences for guests by offering exclusive amenities and services that touch the five senses.

“I view the JW Marriott San Francisco as an urban oasis. We offer Forbes four-star luxury in a serene setting amidst the excitement and hustle and bustle of Union Square and the financial district,” says General Manager Paul Toner.

“When guests walk through our entrance, they are greeted by an international collection of museum-quality art work. Exceptional cuisine and live music await them on the third-floor lobby level. Jaw-dropping views can be seen from most public areas and guest rooms, where a button connects guests to 24-hour personal butler service. My goal is to delight guests with experiences they cannot find elsewhere,” concludes Toner.

A WORLD OF EXPERIENCE

Toner’s background includes senior management positions in Asia and Hawaii. In 1998, he relocated to Hong Kong as Marriott’s Area Director of Marketing overseeing Central Asia and Hawaii. He later opened Marriott’s Pacific Islands Regional Office in Honolulu and, in 2007, was named vice president of sales and marketing for Marriott International’s Asia Pacific Region, including Hawaii.
