HUNTINGTON, NY— After decades of personal and professional involvement with top-tier hotels and resorts throughout the U.S. and Europe, Olivier Bottois has been named CEO and Managing Director of Oheka Castle and Oheka Management Corporation here. The 43-year-old hotelier, who was wooed away from the highly rated Lake Placid Lodge in upstate New York to oversee the $20 million transformation of Oheka Castle into a 40-room “grand-scale boutique hotel,” has been handed the unique opportunity to remake one of the countrys most exclusive special events venues into an extraordinary yet intimate luxury hotel. Among Bottoiss wealth of renovation plans for Oheka Castle, which is situated on a 443-acre estate less than an hour east of Manhattan and two hours west of The Hamptons, is the addition of a destination spa, fine dining venues, 24-hour room service, and sumptuous suites. The property already enjoys an enviable reputation with the upper-crust of East Coast society, which has long patronized it for over-the-top special events.
