Cape Elizabeth’s Inn by the Sea has appointed Jessica Stowell director of sales and marketing according to the Inn’s general manager, Jim Glanville.

Stowell will be responsible for sales and marketing, as well as generating revenue for the beachfront hotel through room bookings, meetings, and conventions, social and catering events.

Stowell has more than a dozen years of hospitality experience in corporate sales at the Sheraton Harborside Hotel, Hilton Garden Inn in Portsmouth and most recently as regional director of sales for Colwen Hotels. At Colwen, Stowell had oversight for 12 properties including Hilton, Marriott and Ashworth by the Sea.

“Jessica brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in hospitality to the inn and we are delighted to have her part of the management team,” said Glanville. “The inn is undergoing welcome changes with the arrival of Chef Steve Sicinski after upgrades to our oceanview restaurant, Sea Glass, and new construction of upscale two-bedroom cottage style suites planned for late fall. This is a year of positive growth for Inn by the Sea and I have confidence in this team to enhance levels of service and amenities at the property.

A resident of Somersworth, N.H., Stowell graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a bachelor of science degree in hospitality administration.
