DALLAS – December 12, 2022 – Fairmont Dallas welcomes David Sher as general manager of the iconic Dallas Arts District hotel which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019. Sher is returning to Fairmont Dallas after previously serving as Director of Operations at the property from 2015 to 2020. He joins the hotel’s leadership team after most recently serving as the general manager of Fairmont Pittsburgh.
“During my more than 25 years in hospitality, I’ve had the pleasure of working in luxury hotels, restaurants and entrepreneurial venues in multiple cities and countries,” Sher said. “I am thrilled to return to Dallas, to the first Fairmont hotel in the state of Texas, as general manager. This property is as rich in talent as it is in history, and I look forward to leading the team into a successful 2023 and beyond.”
Sher brings an impressive background and great deal of experience back to the hotel, including completion of Accor’s International Management Hospitality program in 2019. The program provided networking opportunities with stellar hospitality professionals, key insights from the decades of success and unparalleled hospitality offered by Accor properties, and resulted in Sher elevating his thinking about hospitality.
“David is a very strong executive who repeatedly delivers strong business results,” Mark Huntley, Regional Vice President of the Mid-Atlantic, U.S.A., for Accor. “He will bring a fresh perspective to the Fairmont Dallas, one of the most iconic hotels in Dallas”
