Jordan L’Heureux, a Vail Valley native with extensive industry experience, is the new Director of Convention Services. In this role, she will serve as the liaison between the hotel’s group clients and its operations teams, providing a single point of contact for meeting and event planners.
“The Director of Convention Services role is important for us as we grow our groups business. Jordan’s experience in all facets of the events segment makes her an ideal fit for our team,” Larry MacDonald, General Manager of Hotel Colorado, said. “After a client finalizes their contract with our sales team, whether it’s for a business conference, company banquet, reunion or party, Jordan will handle all of the details from that point forward. It really simplifies the process for the person planning the event.”
Most recently, L’Heureux was Sales Manager leading up to and during the opening of the Hoffman Hotel Basalt Aspen, part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton.

This property has so much history and is a beloved part of the community,” Jordan L’Heureux, Director of Convention Services for Hotel Colorado, said. “I love the fact that the current owners are committed to respecting its past while restoring it to its former glory. My goal is to find the balance between introducing innovative ideas and honoring traditions.”
