Melissa Theron
Melissa Theron (née Burns) has taken the reins as General Manager of The Plettenberg, the iconic 5-star property in Plettenberg Bay that is recognized as one of the most exclusive addresses on the Garden Route.
Melissa has an impressive track record that spreads over a decade with The Liz McGrath Collection, including the last two years as General Manager of sister-hotel, The Marine in Hermanus.
The Plettenberg at dawn
She first joined The Liz McGrath Collection in 2013 as Sales & Reservations Agent, from where her career blossomed, and she was promoted twice within a year to Guest Relations Manager and Front Office Manager at The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel in Cape Town. In 2017 she was promoted to Assistant General Manager at The Marine Hotel, followed by her successful appointment there in 2020 as General Manager.
The Plettenberg, a suite with a view
Her career in luxury hospitality first started as Functions Co-ordinator at the Peninsula All-Suite Hotel before she caught the travel bug and gained 18 months of international experience, working at country clubs in Palm Beach and Chicago (USA). Upon her return to Cape Town Melissa was appointed Reservations Agent for the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, quickly working her way up to Sales & Marketing Co-ordinator, before she took the career opportunity to join The Liz McGrath Collection.
