VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Map) - VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rancho Santa Monica Developments, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: RSDV), ('the Company'), has signed a consulting agreement with Sean Sherwood and has appointed him as Director of Operations.

Mr. Sherwood will be architecting the concept of the new hotel, which will be a tribute to the west coast lifestyle. "This is one of the greatest places to live on the planet, and visitors here want to experience what makes us unique. This hotel will emulate the west coast lifestyle, and celebrate the incredible bounty that we are lucky to have right at our doorstep." Mr. Sherwood will also assist in promoting the Hotel via various media and press related channels in order to assist in the capital raising efforts of the Company.

Mr. Sherwood has opened and owned various restaurants in Vancouver including Fiction,

Lucy Mae Brown and Century. His staff have included people such as Andrey Durbach (Parkside, La Buca, Pied a Terre), Nico Shuermans (Chambar), Andre McGillavray (Boneta), and brings a tremendous passion for the local dining scene, and the people involved. "The brand of a boutique hotel must be tied to the people involved, it must have a heart, a soul so to speak, if it is to be truly boutique," says Sherwood.

The F&B program will be a continuation of that philosophy, and with the hiring of Mr. Sherwood, the search begins for a chef who will best deliver on a program of local, sustainable and ultimately west coast cuisine.

"This location is perfect. You will be able to feel the pulse of the city while sitting on our rooftop lounge with a glass of Okanagan wine and some Saltspring Island cheese," quoted Sean Sherwood.

"Mr. Sherwood is building the buzz and the awareness of this fantastic new hotel. Our focus right now is doing our raises so that our new director of operations can put his fine plans for the hotel into action," quoted company President, Graham Alexander.
