January 19, 2017—With the arrival of the new year, Chef Charlie Palmer and Charlie Palmer Group announce a new hotel leadership team at their two Northern California properties, Mystic Hotel by Charlie Palmer and Harvest Inn by Charlie Palmer. Drawing from some of the Bay Area’s best lodging and resort resources, Palmer’s hotel teams are now led by James DeLuca (General Manager at Harvest Inn), Tamara DeMars (Director of Sales & Marketing), and Parul Suri (Director of Revenue Management & Distribution).

In conjunction with Chef Palmer, the new team is spearheading a robust plan to enhance the guest experience and increase business volume, ADR, and group sales at both hotels.
