Marcus Hotels & Resorts has named Paul Ohm general manager of the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.
At the Pfister Hotel, owned by Marcus Hotels & Resorts (a division of Milwaukee-based The Marcus Corp.), Ohm is monitoring hotel operations and assisting with oversight of renovation efforts in the Pfister’s 176 tower guest rooms scheduled to kick off this fall.
Ohm said the Pfister’s “timeless elegance” and the Marcus family’s commitment to quality hospitality piqued his interest in the position.
“Here (at the Pfister) we still respect the individual traveler, and we appreciate them,” he said.
Ohm is originally from Toledo, Ohio, and said he is looking forward to moving back to his Midwestern roots.
“The people of the community are very warm and welcoming and friendly, and there’s just a genuine sense of care for someone new to the community,” Ohm said.
“We are thrilled to welcome Paul to Marcus Hotels & Resorts as general manager of the Pfister Hotel. As the Pfister celebrates its 120th anniversary this fall, Paul’s extensive experience in hotel management and operations makes him the ideal candidate to lead this prestigious property and continue its legacy of gracious service and tradition,” said Kirk Rose, president of Marcus Hotels & Resorts.
Ohm succeeds Joe Kurth, who left the Pfister earlier this year to become director of the Morris Inn and Notre Dame Conference Center at the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Ind.
