FRED DE SOTA has been named director of sales and marketing at Doral Tesoro Hotel and Golf Club -- recognized as one of the “Best Resorts in Texas” by Texas Golf & Resorts. His responsibilities include marketing the planned addition of a 5,000 square-foot Event Facility and 2,000 square-foot Terrace to the already existing 22,000 square feet of flexible event space at the hotel located 20 minutes from both the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and downtown Fort Worth and directly across from the Texas Motor Speedway.

De Sota brings more than 17 years of hospitality experience to Doral Tesoro, including opening director of sales at the InterContinental Houston and various positions with Hyatt Regency DFW and Austin. Most recently, De Sota served as director of marketing at Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare.

“We are thrilled to have Fred’s meeting expertise and insight at the forefront of our dynamic sales team, says Sam Oliasami, general manager of the resort. “He enhances Doral Tesoro’s commitment to provide planners with an environment for productive meetings combined with sporty diversions.”

Doral Tesoro is the only full-service resort in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with sleeping rooms set amidst a pristing, retreat-like backdrop, providing the perfect escape from the daily hustle and bustle of nearby city life. Known for its 100-year-old oak trees, winding creeks and indigenous white limestone rock outcroppings, the recently redesigned Jay Moorish golf course is the only on-property golf course in the area.

As The Official Hotel of the Texas Motor Speedway, amenities in the 286 upscale rooms and suites range from goose-down Doral Dreamy® featherbeds and in-room Starbucks coffee to cordless phones and complimentary Doral bottled water.
