B. Jay Bliss shared thisThe signs came down this week and we closed our doors after 53 years serving northeast Denver. With this door closing, I am exploring my next professional chapter. Leading this team has reinforced what I value most: building strong cultures, navigating complexity with clarity, and driving performance through people. I remain passionate about leadership roles in hospitality, revenue strategy, operations, and community-facing organizations. If you’re aware of opportunities where experience, steady leadership, and accountability are valued, I would welcome a conversation. I am equally committed to helping our talented team members find strong next homes. Grateful for what’s been built — and optimistic about what’s next.

B. Jay Bliss shared thisAfter many years of welcoming guests and serving our community, Holiday Inn Denver East will be closing its doors on March 9th. It has been an honor to lead such a dedicated team and to host thousands of guests who trusted us with their meetings, milestones, and travels. I am deeply proud of the resilience and professionalism our staff demonstrated through every challenge and transition. As we approach our final week of operation, I want to recognize the exceptional people who have made this property what it is. Many of our team members will soon be seeking new opportunities across hospitality, operations, sales, and guest services. They are talented, committed professionals, and I would gladly speak on behalf of any of them. To our guests, partners, and community — thank you for your support and trust. It has meant more than you know.

B. Jay Bliss liked thisB. Jay Bliss liked thisA really fun and special networking event last week that showcased exactly why Denver’s hospitality community is so rich and welcoming. I was able to bring together 17 awesome students from MSU Denver School of Hospitality with just as many hospitality industry leaders for a networking event that reinforced why we are so lucky to have this community and hospitality ecosystem here in Denver and Colorado. A week later, I continue to get feedback on how impressive the students were and how impactful it was for them to have met so many approachable and genuine industry leaders. I want to thank all the industry professionals and members of the Metropolitan State University of Denver community who came out to support our students. I am truly thankful for how supportive this community is of our next generation of Colorado hospitality leaders.
