Emily Reynolds has been named Director of Sales and Marketing at The Compton in Bentonville - AZ, USA
The Compton, a new independent lifestyle hotel set to open on Bentonville's historic square this fall, announces the appointment of Emily Reynolds as the founding director of sales and marketing. With nearly two decades of experience in hotel strategy and team leadership, the hospitality veteran will spearhead the property's sales, marketing and revenue initiatives ahead of its highly anticipated opening.
Reynolds brings a proven track record of transforming commercial performance across a diverse portfolio of hotels, from boutique openings to nationally branded properties. In her most recent role at Phoenix American Hospitality, she oversaw sales and revenue strategy for six hotels throughout Arkansas and Louisiana, generating more than $31 million in annual revenue and leading a cross-functional team spanning sales, marketing and operations. Throughout her career, she has built and mentored top-performing teams at Aimbridge Hospitality, Lodgestar Investments and Westmont Hospitality Group, earning national recognition as a two-time VIP Sales Executive and a Marriott Horizon Award winner.
Reynolds' appointment marks the first key hire for The Compton, which is being developed by Blue Crane and managed by Practice Hospitality. Inspired by the legacy of Dr. Neil Compton, a renowned conservationist who played a pivotal role in preserving the Buffalo River by designating it as the first National River, the hotel is envisioned as a homebase for outdoor adventure, cultural discovery and community connection.
