History
 Joseph M. Hitzel Jr. was considered by his peers to
represent excellence in the hospitality business. He was
loved by his employees, respected by his comrades and
sought by hoteliers. At the height of his career, he was
general manager of the Shelburne Hotel in Atlantic City
between 1947 and 1957 when that facility was considered
the finest hotel and food and beverage operation East of
the Mississippi River. He was also one of the first
persons to be named general manager of a Marriott Hotel
who did not have the last name Marriott.
Joe Hitzel was born in Easton, Pa, and grew up in his
father’s hotel, The Franklin House. He was general
manager of the Hotel Easton, catering manager of the
Chalfonte Haddon Hall (now Resorts) and general manager
of the Dennis Hotel and The LaFayette Hotel in Atlantic
City. He was general manager of the Marriott Hotel on
City Line Avenue in Philadelphia. He was a lieutenant
colonel in the Army, a director of the Miss America
Pageant for seven years, a member of the Small Business
Administration, and a member of the Delaware River Port
Authority for 17 years. During his port membership, he
was partly responsible for construction of the
Lindenwold High Speed Line, The Walt Whitman Bridge, The
Betsy Ross Bridge and the Commodore Barry Bridge. It was
his dream to bring the high speed line to Atlantic City.
He was also a member of the Overseas Ambassador’s Corp
and traveled around the world advising hospitality
operations on quality management techniques as practiced
in American hotels and restaurants.
