PAUL ROTTENBERG
President

Paul Rottenberg has established a strong track record in the development and management of hospitality and real estate projects for nearly thirty years. In 2006, the Des Moines Register named him one of Des Moines’ most influential business leaders.

Mr. Rottenberg is recognized for his participation in the development of successful projects such as the renovation of the historic, downtown landmark, the Temple for Performing Arts and its transformation into a mixed-use urban destination.  His concept for Centro restaurant produced a new buzz in downtown dining and created a catalyst in the gentrification of the Western Gateway Corridor.  Over the last twenty years he has been the cornerstone of the management and development of the historic 240 room Hotel Fort Des Moines and its affiliated restaurant properties which include Raccoon River Brewing Company, and the Clemens Office building.   In 2001, Paul started Orchestrate Management & Associates, a hospitality management and development company. Since starting Orchestrate Rottenberg has developed and is a partner in Centro Restaurants; Hilton Garden Inn Des Moines/Urbandale; Gateway Market, Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Altoona and Marriott Towneplace Suites in Urbandale.  He has served on various boards and leadership committees and is currently on the Executive board of the Greater Des Moines Convention & Visitors Bureau.
 
Mr. Rottenberg is a native of New Jersey and attended the University of Colorado, Boulder.  He quickly made his mark in the hospitality industry as an early member of the development team for the Good Earth Restaurant franchise; he contributed to that concept’s growth as a trainer, systems designer and manager through its ultimate sale to General Mills Restaurant Group.  Paul is married, has two grown children and enjoys travel, playing guitar and relaxing on his ten acre “farm.”
