To
be Memorable, Rob Howell's Creativity
Tuesday March 18, 2008 (Shawnee
on Delaware, Pennsylvania) – Nestled between the Delaware
River and Appalachian Mountains, The Shawnee Inn and Golf
Resort is the premier destination in the Northeast. It is
no wonder why the resort decided to integrate these blessings
into Shawnee’s way of life.
Each guest-room is decorated
with a plant and river stones. These stones are a tribute
to the Delaware River’s soothing flow that delights
Inn guests 365 days a year. River stones are smoothed down
from being encapsulated in the river for thousands of years.
As a finishing touch, each one is inscribed with an emotion
that represents the range of feelings the river instills upon
its onlookers.
As for the plants, all of
them have a unique name and personality. For example, room
107 is home to Brad. “A single green houseplant (SGP)
who seeks the same for a long-term relationship. Must like
cool drinks, sunny days, and getting back to nature. Seedlings
a possibility.” There are 70 unique names and personalities
each paired with a different plant.
Clinical research has indicated
that being in the presence of plants can help with depression
and loneliness, especially if one talks to their plants. Incorporating
this research into the resort’s décor is Rob
Howell’s way of ensuring that everyone is in great company.
Mr. Howell is the General
Manager of The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. Examples of his
creative thinking can be spotted all over the resort. For
example, it was Rob’s idea to offer guests blankets
by the veranda and, instead of mint chocolate; guests receive
a s’more cookie on their pillow at night.
Creativity is a strong suit
of Howell’s who has extensive theatre experience in
both producing and acting. In addition, he has over seven
years of direct hospitality marketing experience, which also
requires an exceptional amount of vision and ingenuity.
Rob began marketing hotels
in Chicago at a large hospitality corporation in 1991, where
he eventually was promoted to Vice President of Marketing.
In 1998 Mr. Howell joined the Shawnee family as the Director
of Marketing and Sales. Finally, in 2006 he was became the
General Manager of the resort.
