The Grand Hyatt New York in Midtown Manhattan has appointed Brad Mettler as its new Director of Sales and Marketing.

Mettler brings over 15 years of experience to his new post, and almost all of it within the Hyatt Hotels Corporation. Most recently, he spent four years as the Director of Sales and Marketing at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa, where he managed that resort’s sales initiatives throughout a $13 million renovation. During Mettler’s time in Honolulu, Hyatt Hotels Corporation named his sales staff the Sales Team of the Year in 2012. In March 2013, he was awarded Hyatt’s Director of Sales and Marketing of the Year honor for large hotels.

“We are so delighted to welcome Brad to Grand Hyatt New York,” said General Manager Mark Pardue. “His experience spans all major hospitality markets, making him a great fit for a destination as diverse as New York City. His stellar record at Hyatt speaks for itself, and we look forward to having his experience and expertise at our property.”

The Grand Hyatt New York recently unveiled a $130 million renovation, spanning its 1306 rooms and suites, three bars and restaurants, and 60,000 square feet of meeting space.
