Fish Camp, CA – September
2021 / Newsmaker Alert / Tenaya
Lodge at Yosemite has named Brett
Archer as general manager of the 352 room resort located at Yosemite
National Park’s south gate and set on 75 forested acres featuring the main
lodge, cottages and its two-bedroom
Explorer
Cabins, which opened in summer 2019. Archer joins Tenaya Lodge from
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, where he served in the same capacity.
|
 The
appointment is a homecoming for Archer who has spent most of his nearly
30-year career in Yosemite and over 25 years with Delaware
North Companies. Prior to Sequoia and Kings Canyon, Archer was assistant
general manager at Tenaya Lodge and helped oversee the resort’s $25 million
investment and expansion project, which included the addition of the Explorer
Cabins, new restaurant concepts and exciting new programming such as the
guided Yosemite tours in custom buses with retractable roofs.
“It’s
wonderful to be returning to Yosemite and Tenaya Lodge,” said Archer. “I’m
looking forward to evolving with Tenaya Lodge and leading our talented
hospitality team particularly as we continue to recover from the impacts
of the pandemic.”
Archer
began his career in 1993 as rooms manager at the legendary Ahwahnee hotel
in Yosemite, where he worked for 10 years before accepting the role of
general manager at Yosemite’s Curry Village. He returned to the Ahwahnee
in 2011 as general manager and served in the position for eight years.
In
addition to overseeing day-to-day resort operations at Tenaya Lodge, a
priority for Archer is helping rebuild leisure and corporate group business
such as weddings and executive retreats, which have been slow to return
due to the pandemic. He’ll also oversee the introduction of several upgraded
programs and amenities at the property including a new outdoor dining experience
and revamped Yosemite tours in 2022.
