Dwight Murphy

Dwight has been with Musselman Hotels on and off since February 2012. He started with the company as Assistant Executive Housekeeper at the Hilton Garden Inn/Louisville Airport, where he worked for three years.   In February 2015 he was promoted to Executive Housekeeper at Embassy Suites/ Louisville East.  Prior to joining the Musselman family, Dwight worked for seven years at the Pendennis Club, one of the most storied and exclusive members’ only establishments in Louisville. Starting in housekeeping and setups, Dwight was promoted to Housekeeping Manager, a position he held until his departure from the club. Dwight says he is still learning every day in his new position, but that he is fortunate to have an awesome staff that has made his transition very easy. He also says that it helps tremendously that his current G.M. was at the Garden Inn when he first started, and that he was taught a lot there by his former supervisor. “I learned so much from Miss Elba”, he says. Dwight is from Maysville, Kentucky, the childhood home of Rosemary Clooney as well as former Miss America Heather French Henry. Small town at heart but big city in spirit, Dwight enjoys the various options and opportunities city life offers. Dwight lived in Los Angeles for some years after being honorably discharged from the United States Army but settled in Louisville, which he found to be the perfect blend of “not too small, but not too big”. He currently lives in the “South End”, a favorite part of the city, and says his siblings are his best friends. An avid Cardinal fan, he and his brothers go to as many games as they can. When not cheering the Cards Dwight says he most enjoys summertime in the backyard:  the grill lit, the cooler full, and the oldies playing! Dwight has a seventeen-year-old son he is very proud of. “I love the young person he is now, but I’m even more excited about the adult he has the potential to be” he says.
