The Hotel Indigo Savannah Historic District has named Kellie Linder, general manager, and Morgan Stincer, director of sales and marketing, of its 252 room hotel located at 201 West Bay St. in the vibrant City Market area of downtown Savannah which is scheduled to open in March 2016. With 35 years of combined hotel experience and a majority of that time focused on the Savannah market, Linder and Stincer have the necessary skills, personalities and enthusiasm to exceed guest expectations and deliver a truly authentic hotel experience in downtown Savannah for guests and locals alike.

Kellie Linder, general manager: “Morgan and I are excited to introduce this local boutique hotel to the downtown Savannah community and inspire visitors with the neighborhood’s quaint charm. Our staff will deliver a personalized service that will enable guests to discover something new every time they visit – from the art and design, to the locally sourced food – the culture, character and history of City Market at Ellis Square will uniquely come to life every time they visit.”

Linder previously served as general manager at The River Street Inn, an 86 room historic inn along Savannah’s waterfront, as well as the Embassy Suites Historic Charleston. She also served as the regional director of sales and marketing for Peachtree Hotel Group, an Atlanta-based hospitality company owning and operating more than 50 hotels, and area director of sales and marketing for Prince-Bush Hotels. Linder has been recognized for several professional achievements including the Golden Pineapple award for excellence in hospitality. She is the former president of the Charleston Hotel Motel Association and is a current member of the board of directors with the Tourism Leadership Council in Savannah.

Stincer’s previous hospitality sales and marketing know-how spans across several IHG and Hilton brand hotels in Savannah’s historic district, and she is the former senior sales manager at Savannah Lodging. She brings a wealth of experience exceeding sales and strategic business development goals in previous leadership positions, and has a highly successful track record with the Association, Corporate, Tour & Travel, Government, SMERF and Citywide market segments.
