1Concier celebrates Customer Appreciation Day, Week, Month—All Year Long!
Celebrating Our Customers on April 18—and Every Day of the Year!
At 1Concier, our customers are the heart of everything we do. From independent and boutique hotels to luxury resorts and spas, commercial laundries and healthcare facilities, we’re honored to partner with hospitality leaders who care deeply about quality, guest experience, and innovation.
This Customer Appreciation Day, we’re taking a moment to spotlight the incredible people behind the properties—the individuals who inspire us with their passion, creativity, and commitment to excellence. Whether it’s a long-time collaboration or a new connection, each partnership is a story we’re proud to be part of.
Read on as our team shares personal shout-outs to the customers who’ve gone above and beyond, welcomed us into their spaces, and trusted us to deliver solutions that elevate their operations. These stories remind us why we love what we do—and why we’re committed to supporting you all year long.
Thank you to each and every one of you. We’re grateful for your trust, your partnership, and the opportunity to grow together.
1Concier Customers Honoring Team Members
Yarlin Faurer, Spa Director at Westin Grand Cayman
“I truly appreciate Yarlin from the Westin Grand Cayman for her partnership and enthusiasm. When she needed order details from 2016, I mentioned our showroom in Fort Lauderdale. Coincidentally, she was traveling to Florida the next day and was excited to visit since she was staying nearby in Hollywood. Thanks to our Regional VP Barbara’s warm hospitality, she visited our showroom within two days! Her visit resulted in a towel order; we have additional quotes pending approval. I’m grateful for her trust in us and look forward to continuing our collaboration!” – Lilly Sacher-Does
Michelle Milfort, Director of Housekeeping from the International Wharf
“Building strong relationships with our customers is at the heart of what we do. Michelle Milfort, Director of Housekeeping at the International Wharf, has not only trusted us with her guest rooms but has expanded to spa and pool areas— even introducing us to her banquet team. Her confidence in our quality and service is the greatest compliment we can receive. We appreciate all of our valued customers who make partnerships like this possible!” – Deneise Sinclair
Merly Alberto at the AC HOTEL in DC Capitol Hill
“At 1Concier, we are grateful for customers like Merly Alberto at the AC Hotel in DC Capitol Hill, who recognize the value of quality and innovation.

We appreciate her partnership and all of our valued customers who continue to elevate hospitality with us!” – Deneise Sinclair

“We are honored to support incredible hospitality leaders like Lori Watson of Sage Hospitality, who brings her expertise to hotel openings and renovations across the country.

Donna Bailey-Director of Housekeeping from the Candler Hotel
“At 1Concier, we take pride in partnering with hospitality leaders who go above and beyond for their guests. Donna Bailey, Director of Housekeeping at The Candler Hotel, shared how much guests love the attention to detail with their custom shams—so much so that after the Highgate GM Summit, three additional locations are now implementing them.
Renford Parkes, GM of The Candler Hotel in Atlanta, is a visionary leader who values more than just the P&L; he focuses on the intricate details that elevate the guest experience. His passion was recognized at the summit, leading Highgate to greenlight the expansion of this initiative across multiple properties. Now, as he leads the task force at the new Riverfront Hotel in New Orleans, I’m honored to assist him in bringing the same high standards to this new location.
I deeply appreciate Donna, Renford, and the entire team for their commitment to excellence. Their meticulous attention to detail creates a truly one-of-a-kind guest experience—one that guests love so much, they seek to recreate it in their own homes.” – Deneise Sinclair
Alba Membreno, Director of Housekeeping, and Laura Castro, Director of Rooms at Henderson Beach Resort

From the moment I stepped in as your new Territory Manager, you have welcomed me with such warmth and support, and I truly appreciate the trust you place in us.
