Bruce Grosbety named President at The Woodstock Inn & Resort
The Board of Trustees of the Woodstock Foundation have appointed Bruce Grosbety as President of the Woodstock Inn & Resort, a AAA Four Diamond Resort and one of New England's premier year-round vacation destinations. A native of the northeast who started in the hospitality industry at his family-owned resort, Grosbety brings several decades of hospitality experience to the Woodstock Inn & Resort from diverse roles at world-class hotels and destination resorts across the country. He most recently served as Vice President and General Manager for The Yarrow Group, where he oversaw the daily operations of five hotels in Jackson, Wyoming and Fort Collins, Colorado. Grosbety will officially begin his new role on November 16.
During his tenure with The Yarrow Group, Grosbety oversaw the construction and opening of The Cloudveil, a new 100-room and suite Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel in Jackson Hole in 2021. The Cloudveil was specifically designed to honor the history and sense of community of Jackson Town Square where it is located, and has become one of the most photographed Autograph Hotels in the U.S. Grosbety's earlier career included key leadership roles at luxury hotels, resorts, and properties with deep ties with their local communities. He spent more than three years as the Director of Rooms at The Four Seasons at The Pierre in New York City before taking a role as General Manager with Vail Resorts in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Grosbety's engagement with Vail Resorts came shortly after the company acquired the RockResorts brand, which was founded by Laurance S. Rockefeller in the 1950's, which with Vail Resorts grew to include six properties in the Rocky Mountains. Working with executives from former RockResorts properties, Grosbety oversaw the rebranding and reopening of Snake River Lodge & Spa, which became Teton Village's first AAA Four Diamond hotel. In the six years after leaving Vail Resorts, Grosbety held several roles with Hotel Terra in Jackson Hole and MetWest Terra Hospitality, with a corporate commitment to sustainability, where he was Vice President of Operations for eight properties across the country, including the highly-regarded Topnotch Resort & Spa in Stowe, Vermont. Prior to his role at The Yarrow Group, Grosbety spent four years as the Managing Director of Enchantment Resort in Sedona, Arizona. There, he oversaw more than 500 employees of a 234-room, 70-acre property and implemented a long-term strategic plan to align all resort disciplines with a unifying set of priorities. Throughout his career Grosbety has held numerous roles focused on community engagement and development. He was a founding member of the Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism Board, where he served from 2011-14, and also spent six years on the Governor-appointed Wyoming Office of Tourism Board. During his time with Enchantment Resort, he served on the Sedona Lodging Council Board from 2014-17. Grosbety also previously served as the President & Chairman of the Wyoming Lodging and Restaurant Association (WLRA) and was President of the WLRA Education ProStart Program, launching ProStart at Jackson Hole High School in 2006.
