What’s our favorite TED Talk? The one where we tell you about Ted Fleurimond!

Ted is the General Manager at Hyatt Place National Harbor — and he was recently recognized as Hyatt’s Essential Brands General Manager of the Year. This Hyatt Leadership Award is significant, with recipients chosen from among the brand’s highest performers. Ted leads a hotel team that’s earned Platinum Key Status two years in a row, while achieving stellar key metrics, including:

• Room Cleanliness: 98
• Working Order: 91
• RPI Index: 125

These results demonstrate operational discipline and a deep commitment to an exceptional guest experience. Recognition as Hyatt’s General Manager of the Year is a testament to Ted’s leadership, his team’s execution, and a genuine culture of excellence at Hyatt Place National Harbor.

But that’s not all. Ted also recently received the 2025 Humanitarian Award from the Prince George’s County Police Department, in recognition of his contributions to fellow citizens and the business community in National Harbor, Maryland.

One of National Harbor’s most enthusiastic business leaders, Ted also devotes personal time and resources to improving public education, mentoring children who are being raised without their fathers, and supporting his birth country of Haiti, where he lived until the age of 10.

This stellar leader has been with OTO for more than a dozen years, serving as GM of Hampton Inn & Suites National Harbor from March 2014 until being named Opening GM of the award-winning Hyatt Place in March 2020.

He was OTO Development’s General Manager of the Year in 2019 and, under his leadership, the Hyatt Place National Harbor team has received a steady stream of recognition. The hotel won Hyatt’s Best New Property Award in 2021 and took one of the top spots in the brand’s inaugural Global Care Metrics Challenge; accolades earned within OTO include Service Champion and Hotel of the Year.

Kudos to Ted on his outstanding accomplishments as he represents both OTO and Hyatt at the highest level.
