Robert Kisabeth, general manager of Northwest Arkansas’ largest hotel, left to begin a new job in Tulsa on Jan. 8.
Kisabeth will remain with John Q. Hammons Hotels Inc. as general manager of the Renaissance Tulsa Hotel and Convention Center, which has 300 rooms and 60,000 SF of convention space.
He moved to Northwest Arkansas to help open the Embassy Suites in Rogers in 2003. The Rogers hotel, which has 248 rooms and 20,000 SF of meeting space, brought in $7.4 million in room revenue in 2004 and $2.4 million in banquet revenue, by far exceeding any of its competition in the area.
Before moving to Northwest Arkansas, Kisabeth opened an Embassy Suites for Hammons in Charleston, S.C., in 2000.
David Lang, manager of an Embassy Suites in Charleston, W.Va., will replace Kisabeth as manager of the Rogers hotel on Jan. 31.
