Mokara Hotel and Spa in San Antonio, Texas has appointed Zach Thomas as spa director. In his new role, Thomas will oversee the Forbes Four-Star 17,000sq ft spa, including all day-to-day operations, marketing, programming and staff management.
“Mokara Spa is the gold standard in luxury spas, and I’m thrilled to carry on that legacy and reinforce Omni’s dedication to personal wellbeing by providing guests with personalised, memorable and relaxing experiences,” said Thomas.
Thomas brings over ten years’ experience to the role, including his most recent position as spa director at LIVunLtd, a lifestyle, spa and wellness consulting and management company, leading Island Spa Catalina in Southern California.
Previously, he was spa operations manager at Destination Hotels at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, and was part of the opening team at Vdara Hotel and Spa, an MGM Resort property in Las Vegas.
Thomas is a graduate of the University of Nevada Las Vegas with a degree in hospitality management. In his free time, he enjoys being outdoors, traveling, practicing yoga and attending concerts.
The 99-bedroom Mokara Hotel & Spa is the companion property to the Omni La Mansión del Rio, both of which have been owned and operated by Omni Hotels & Resorts since 2006.
