General Manager Margarita Garcia Honored

Margarita Garcia, general manager of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel New York Times Square West, has been honored in the November-December issue of Hotel Management magazine as one of its 2023 “General Managers to Watch.”

The annual listing is intended to “showcase strong, passionate leaders from around the country,” the magazine said. “Those chosen deserve widespread recognition for their dedication to the field. In terms of guests, they are meeting new expectations with aplomb.”

Last year’s list included general managers representing hotels from Nashville to San Francisco.

Margarita, who was M&R’s General Manager of the Year last year, praised the DoubleTree’s associates, saying: “Everyone gives their best. We’re a real team.”

The 602-room Doubletree by Hilton Hotel New York Times Square West opened in 2017 and is M&R’s largest hotel. “With the pandemic behind us, business has continued to get stronger and stronger,” Margarita said. ”We’re seeing more and more sold-out nights.”
