Overseeing the communications direction for Le Meridien in Kuwait following its takeover of the Ritz Hotel is Jean Michel Baradei, a Lebanese graduate in hotel management of the Lebanese University in Beirut.
As well as supervising catering at Dubai International Airport, he also worked on projects such as the Dubai Air Show and IDEX, as well as in catering management in Yemen, before moving to Beirut to assist in the opening phase of the Gefinor Rotana hotel as guest relations manager and duty manager.
Under its new management, he will now focus on promoting Le Meridien's brand in Kuwait and establishing a platform for growth to assist in the implementation of its alliance with the A'amal Hotels Company. This involves five new projects over a period of three years, starting with the renovation and relaunch of the Ritz as Le Meridien Kuwait and the opening of two Art+Tech hotels in the country within two years.
Le Méridien is a global hotel group with a portfolio of more than 140 luxury and upscale hotels in 55 countries worldwide. The majority of its properties are located in the world's top cities and resorts throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. — (menareport.com)
