Henderson Beach Resort, the premier luxury destination along Florida's Emerald Coast, is pleased to announce the appointment of David Lim as its new Director of Food & Beverage. With more than a decade of experience leading culinary operations at some of the nation's most distinguished hotels and resorts, Lim brings a refined sense of hospitality, innovation, and leadership to the resort's growing food and beverage program.
Lim's career began with Marriott International, where he developed a strong foundation in brand standards, multi-outlet operations, and guest service excellence. He later joined Noelle Nashville, a landmark boutique hotel, where he honed his expertise in curating elevated dining and beverage experiences in a competitive urban market. His journey continued at Planters Inn and Peninsula Grill in Charleston - a Relais & Châteaux property and Forbes 4-Star restaurant - where he deepened his commitment to luxury dining and service precision.
He played a pivotal role in the pre-opening of Conrad Nashville, establishing new service benchmarks and designing distinctive beverage programs for the city's first luxury hotel. His extensive background also includes leadership roles at The Darcy Hotel in Washington, D.C., Naples Grande Resort in Florida, Gaylord Opryland Resort, and most recently Horseshoe Bay Resort in Texas, where he oversaw multi-outlet operations for one of the state's most dynamic resort destinations.
At Henderson Beach Resort, Lim will oversee all food and beverage operations, including the resort's acclaimed dining venues, banquets, and in-room dining, while leading the continued evolution of the resort's culinary offerings. Working alongside Executive Chef Scott Plumley, who joined the team this past April, the duo will bring a dynamic blend of culinary creativity and operational excellence to further elevate the resort's dining experience.
