48. Alexander Bohnekamp, CEO, H Hospitality Collection
A new hospitality operating group has entered the Middle East
Starting his career in 1990 with InterContinental Hotels Group, Alexander Bohnekamp is now the CEO of the newly formed H Hospitality Collection. Earlier this year, the H Hotel and Resort Management Company officially launched the “H Hospitality Collection” under which all its resorts will operate — including the already open H Dubai. Its global development is set to take place over the next five years, which includes H Montenegro, H Sri Lanka and H Abu Dhabi.
The Abu Dhabi property is scheduled to open in 2018. Located by the waterfront near the Emirates Palace hotel in the UAE’s capital, its design has been inspired by traditional dhows.
Bohnekamp tells Hotelier: “The group aims to create the most interesting and inspiring spaces it operates in, whether tented camps, business hotels, luxury retreats or airside properties. The collection provides unique buildings and management solutions to maximise owner investment combined with the most boutique service approach under its two brands — The H and heritâge.” The operator is reportedly looking at international spots such as the UK and US, with the GCC of interest, with more properties being eyed in the UAE.
