“The sound of Robert Conti quickly became a signature for the hotel with his first class nightly performances. Numerous business and leisure travelers chose follow-up visits solely based on the opportunity to see him perform. Bob’s fans were so numerous, they were almost considered a separate market segment for us!”

— Steve Glen, Regional VP Operations,
Asia Pacific Marriott International

“In an environment as competitive as the hotel business, it helps to have an edge – my secret weapon was Robert Conti for ten years. Part ambassador, part salesman and 100% talent.”

“Robert Conti, A Timeless Cover Story”

— Glenn Scharaga, Patron of the Arts, Los Angeles, CA

A Strategic Turning Point

A casual acquaintance with a SoCal Marriott executive led to a two-week engagement in the hotel’s lobby bar. What happened next changed everything.

From Line Item to Revenue Driver

Guest response was immediate and overwhelming.
Management quickly saw Robert Conti as a high-visibility revenue attraction, not a line item expense.
His nightly virtuoso performances became a signature amenity that elevated the entire guest experience

Regional Buzz, Real Revenue

Media coverage from the LA Times, Orange County Register, and KKJZ-FM (88.1) drew attention far beyond hotel guests.
The upscale lobby lounge of the hotel became an early-evening hub for both travelers and local business crowds.
Result: high-margin cocktail sales and a venue that retained guests.

Measurable Impact

Credited with generating thousands of additional room nights.
Consistent positive impact on lodging, lounge, and meeting revenue.

The Bottom Line

A two week booking became a 10-year residency – one of the longest-running hotel music engagements on record. As illustrated by hotel executive comments, major press attention and fan response, Robert Conti is a one-of-a-kind musician whose virtuoso skill is a first class attraction.

“Positive relaxing ambience…Definitely a great asset and a signature item for the Irvine Marriott”

“Solely responsible for acquiring large business conference…and sale of approx. 2,000 room nights”

“An ambassador for the hotel, welcoming guests, remembering the names of regular clientele… a gentleman, and above all a professional”
