Three general manager appointments at One to One

Abu Dhabi-based One to One Hotels & Resorts has made three new general manager appointments to its hotels in Abu Dhabi, Fujairah and Al Ain.

Joseph El Hajj, Jerome Kandalaft and Guy Chidiac will now head up One to One Hotel – the Village, Concorde Fujairah by One to One and One to One Resort & Spa – Ain Al Faida, respectively.

Commenting on the appointments Philippe Harb, COO of One to One Hotels said: “Our commitment to ‘the audience of one’ is to bring in first-class services and build a great team that really captures One to One quality and spirit.”

At One to One Hotel – the Village, Abu Dhabi, Lebanese national Joseph El Hajj was promoted to GM from his role as resort manager at One to One Ain Al Faida.

One to One Ain Al Faida was taken over by Guy Chidiac, who was previously GM of Royal Beach Resort & Spa.

Jerome Kandalaft has taken the helm of the recently acquired Concorde Fujairah by One to One Hotels and Resorts. He was most recently general manager of Gloria Downtown Hotel, Abu Dhabi.

Kandalaft’s new property was reflagged Fujairah Concorde by One to One last month following the signing of a management contract by the home-grown operator with the hotel’s owning company Hamad Suhail Al Khaily Est.

The hotel, which in December was taken over by Swiss International Hotels & Resorts will be operated by One to One Hotels & Resorts under its Elite brand category from today (March 1).
