The Kimpton Cardinal Hotel, Winston-Salem’s first upscale boutique property, is excited to announce the appointment of Kelly Brown to the position of General Manager. In this role, Brown will oversee the day-to-day operations of the 174 room-property, staff management, implement community relations and serve as the driving force behind the exceptional and renowned Kimpton Cardinal experience.
Brown has over 10 years of experience in the hotel industry and has been at the helm of top performing AAA Four Diamond Hotels. She began her career with Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants holding positions at Nine Zero Hotel, Ink48, Hotel Marlowe, Hotel Palomar and Hotel Monaco. Her extensive hospitality experience most recently included the role of General Manager at the Inn at Diamond Cove located in New England.
“I’m thrilled to be returning to the Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants family,” said Brown. “My career essentially began with this dynamic and beloved brand and to be returning as the General Manager of the Kimpton Cardinal is a privilege and an important milestone for me both personally and professionally. I look forward to working with one of the most talented teams in this industry to continue bringing next-level hospitality experiences to all of Kimpton Cardinal’s guests.”
The Kimpton Cardinal opened in April 2016 in the historic R.J. Reynolds building, centrally located in the heart of downtown Winston-Salem. The hotel features 174 guest rooms, including 15 suites, an expansive fitness center and adult recreation room, a distinctive neighborhood restaurant and bar in The Katharine, and more than 6,300-square-feet of meeting and event spaces. The Cardinal is steps away from fine art, craft beer and vibrant food scenes, close to Wake Forest University and Old Salem Museum & Gardens, and —as a Kimpton hotel —never too far from mischief.
