MANAGING DIRECTOR, OMNI HOMESTEAD RESORT AND SPA, HOT SPRINGS
Virginia Business //September 1, 2025//
Spadoni joined the nearly 260-year-old Omni Homestead in 2021. He has worked in the hospitality industry for more than 40 years, working at The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa in Georgia for about 20 of those years.
The Bath County resort was founded in 1766. Omni Hotels & Resorts purchased the property from KSL Capital Partners in 2013. In 2023, the resort completed $170 million in propertywide renovations, including upgrades to its 483 guest rooms, a new, 4,000-square-foot pavilion, 72,000 square feet of meeting space, new food and beverage options and a restoration of the Warm Springs Pools.
In 2020, Spadoni received the Savannah Tourism Council’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and in October 2024, the American Hotel & Lodging Association presented him with its General Manager Lifetime Achievement Award.
No stranger to community involvement, Spadoni was the first chair of Visit Bath County’s board and serves on Bath Community Hospital’s board of directors. While in Savannah, he founded the Savannah Harbor Foundation to support children’s charities, co-created the Savannah Voice Festival and its sister foundation, and served on numerous boards.
