Commenting on his new role Berberoglu said: “This region has been a key driver in the successful expansion of Kempinski’s global portfolio and contributes more than one third of its overall revenues, with Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace being the highest fee-earning properties for the company. I will now work with all the hotels in the region to ensure a consistent delivery of Kempinski luxury standards, and secure our position as a key player in this region.”
