Prior to forming SRM in 1992, Lidicker was responsible for opening or repositioning 23 major projects in environmentally pristine areas. Amongst them are the award-winning Lodge at Koele and Manele Bay Hotel both on the island of Lana'i, formerly Hawaii's pineapple island. Prior to opening the Lana'i properties, Lidicker directed the unveiling of prestigious properties such as the Kapalua Bay Hotel on Maui and the S.S. Norway. Sedona is the location of SRM's Enchantment Resort and Mii amo, a destination spa, entities that are legendary for their respect for land conservation and the perpetuation of the Native American culture. "Sedona Resort Management and its investment group are committed to owning and operating a collection of premier quality, independent, destination resorts, each having a unique personality reflective of its geographic location," says Lidicker. The Tides Inn joins Enchantment Resort (Sedona); Mii amo, a destination spa at Enchantment (Sedona); and Cedar Breaks Lodge (Utah) as SRM's fourth property. |
