Life at the Inn

Since the earliest days of the Innkeeper, the hotel has been a central gathering place for our greatest moments. Wed-dings, reunions, business meetings or just traveling to see the world; at some point, we seek a respite at the Inn. The centerpiece to that renewal is the Food and Beverage experience. To that end, I devote my energies, pas-sions, spirit and skills to an ongoing quest to inspire great practitioners of food arts and memorable service that foster great convivial moments. Where will the path lead next….

Tell the story….

“Over my career with Ritz-Carlton,

Le Meridian, Conrad and Sea Is-

land hotel companies, I can hon-

estly say that one of the top profes-

sionals I have ever had the pleas-

ure to serve under was Mr. Burgess

Newsom. I would be honored to

work with him again in the future,

should our paths come together

again.”

Michael Collins Director of F&B

Lodge at Ponte Vedra Beach

“...I feel that in the time

we spent together as colleagues

Mr. Newsom carried himself with

a level of professionalism that was

infectious and always inspired the

team to grow and further them-

selves in their careers. I owe my

position and title to the tutelage

and time spent and teaching by Mr.

Newsom.”

Gabriel Cogley, Director of F&B

Wentworth by the Sea

“I count Mr. Newsom as my fore-

most influence in my professional

career and can say I wouldn’t be

where I am without his trust and

belief in me. He showed me that

leaders can deliver tough messages

without being tyrants. I learned

that you can give world class ser-

vice while being financially re-

sponsible. I also now make sure I

spend time with my young leaders,

as developing them will be the key

to our long term success. “

Tony Liartis, Director of F&B

That Moment of Truth…

We’ve all heard it before,...“ no man is an island, or

“none of us are smarter than all of us”...“There is no “I” in

T-E-A-M”. But... the plain simple truth of hospitality is,

that, at one pivotal point in time, when a single soul has

your business in their hands and attempts to provide in

that single moment, all of your thoughts, training, teach-

ing and time in what you hope is a semblance of ser-

vice. There is no escaping the fact that your destiny

and that of your business is in the hands of your worst

moment. In working with AAA and Forbes 5-Star/

Diamond teams we learn to push and promote excel-

lence throughout the organization and to empower

each and every associate with the ability to anticipate

our guests neeeds in order to prepare them to embrace

that “Moment of Truth”. To this end , I have dedicated

my passions and efforts in developing and mentoring

key leaders to be stewards of service excellence.

“...teach them well and let them lead the way”
