ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. (August 5, 2015) – One Ocean Resort & Spa – Northeast Florida’s chic beachfront boutique resort, located in Atlantic Beach – welcomes new leader, Marc Bauer as General Manager. With more than 25 years of hospitality experience and specific focus on the independent, luxury, boutique hotel segment, Bauer will look to elevate the 193-room, Atlantic Beach resort’s already exceptional level of anticipatory service, guest relations and revenue growth.
“We are delighted to welcome Marc to our One Ocean family and excited to watch the resort benefit and thrive from his wealth of experience, talent and enthusiasm,” said Sileshi Mengiste, divisional vice president, luxury division Remington Hotels. “Marc is a perfect fit for this role because his background and success speak though his leadership skills, intuitive instincts and creative talent – all critical traits to help ensure continued growth and success for our associates and One Ocean Resort.”

Having also overseen several property developments, including the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Asheville, N.C., and been involved in renovations and conversions including the Vero Beach Hotel & Spa and Costa d’Este in Vero Beach, Fla., a memorable guest and associate journey has remained the key focus.
