The Address Downtown Dubai has appointed Philippe Georges Zuber as its new general manager.

He moves to the hotel after having worked globally with international hotel chains, in locations including Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Casablanca, Hong Kong and Los Angeles.

He also has a master’s degree in finance and management in the hotel industry from The Strasbourg Graduate School of Management and in his new role he is to strengthen business and increase footfall.

Zuber said: “The Address Downtown Dubai has set a distinct niche both in the business and leisure hospitality segments. We will work towards further strengthening the hotel as a first-choice for visitors to Dubai, across all our existing feeder markets, as well as explore new markets. We will also look at strengthening the lifestyle choices offered for our guests, adding to the hotel’s existing portfolio of world-class restaurants and lounges.”

Jurgen Baumhoff, COO, Emaar Hospitality Group, said: “The Address Downtown Dubai is one of the award-winning properties in our Address portfolio, defined by its unique location and service standards. Philippe Georges Zuber brings international expertise in hotel management, which will enable us to further underline the property’s appeal globally.”
