Today’s business travel planner needs more than just an available hotel room for a business travelers’ stay. That travel planner needs a helpful onsite partner who can effectively work with local companies to create positive relationships and provide an experience that serves as a corporate traveler’s home base while on the road. Enter Sonesta Gwinnett Place Atlanta’s two new Business Travel Sales Managers, Lina Whitaker and Caroline Eubanks.

Lina Whitaker, senior business travel manager, brings more than seven years of hospitality and tourism experience to her new role, including many years with Hilton Hotels Worldwide and Marriott. She received her Bachelor of Art degree in arts administration with a minor in business management from University of Kentucky and a Hotel Revenue Management certification from Cornell University.

Sonesta Gwinnett Place’s new business travel sales manager, Caroline Eubanks, brings more than three and a half years of experience in developing new accounts from medical to professional service sectors. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in marketing at Florida State University. Before joining the Sonesta Gwinnett Place team, Caroline was employed with American Liberty Hospitality as senior sales manager in Houston, Texas.

“Our individual business travel clients are savvy professionals and expect the best from their properties,” said David Kohlasch, general manager at Sonesta Gwinnett Place Atlanta. “In keeping with our goal of providing the best experience possible, we’ve added Lina and Caroline to the team to ensure our service is unsurpassed.”
