Anthony Martely-Regional Director of Sales

Going to college in Orlando at UCF, I found my passion of traveling and fell in love with the hospitality

industry. During my sophomore year, my first role within hotels, I was accepted into the Disney

College Program and worked at Walt Disney World’s Caribbean Beach Resort. This role sparked my interest to dive deeper into the white glove level of

service where I received the opportunity to learn from one of the most luxurious brands in the world,

Hilton’s Waldorf Astoria Orlando. I learned all things within revenue and sales, managing

multiple portfolios.
