McGregor brings 28 years of hospitality management and customer service experience to his dynamic new post. Extensive knowledge of food and beverage operations compliments his hotel experience. McGregor’s most recent position was General Manager at Seascape Beach Resort in neighboring Aptos, CA, where he oversaw all operations of this 280-unit, 40-acre, oceanfront resort property.
McGregor is no stranger to Monterey. From 1999-2006 he was Executive Assistant Manager at Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa on Cannery Row.
“Returning to Monterey is a dream come true both professionally and personally,” explains McGregor. “It’s a place that has always felt like home. My wife and I, along with our children are thrilled to be returning.”
After his tenure at Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, McGregor continued his career with Woodside Hotels & Resorts serving as Vice President and General Manager at Indian Springs Resort and Spa, Calistoga, CA; Bodega Bay Lodge, Bodega Bay, CA; and Napa Valley Lodge, Yountville, CA.
McGregor replaces hospitality veteran Randy Venard who will retire after a successful 41-year career in the industry. Venard served as Vice President and General Manager of Inns of Monterey for nearly 28 years, where he led the hotels to industry prominence.
“It’s great to welcome Tim and his family back to Monterey,” says Venard. “As I move on to my next chapter, it brings me great comfort to know that Tim will continue to build on the success of Inns of Monterey.”
Ted Balestreri, Chairman & CEO of Cannery Row Management Company, speaks of McGregor’s appointment. “We are so fortunate to have Tim join as Vice President and General Manager with the Inns of Monterey. With his leadership, experience, and familiarity with our local hospitality industry, we are confident he will continue to build on the tradition of excellence and award-winning service that our guests associate with the hotels in our portfolio.”
