Chad Taylor
General Manager,
Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

What gets you up
in the morning?
“Two shots of Cafe
Bustelo espresso and knowing that I have the best job in the world. My office is a world-class hotel filled with people [who] I consider friends and family. What more could you ask for?”

“As general manager,
I ensure the team’s focus is to stay on top of the market and manage the results generated by the hotel and the guest satisfaction scores to
both the company officers and investors. Another priority is to make sure that the Hotel Valenica
is not just another business, but an active participant of the community.”

“I honestly enjoy what
I do. The leadership skills
I gained during my years in the military have afforded me the opportunity that I have today to lead a team that is the best in the country. We have a blast at the hotel, and it shows to both our internal and external customers.”
