Le Méridien Dhaka Appoints Gregor Schmidt-Kiefer As General Manager

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor) Dhaka: Le Méridien Dhaka has appointed Gregor Schmidt-Kiefer as its new general manager, bringing more than two decades of international luxury hospitality experience to the Marriott International property.

Schmidt-Kiefer has held senior management roles across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, with experience spanning hotel operations, commercial performance and guest services.

Before joining Le Méridien Dhaka, he served as hospitality director at Wirefox Hospitality Ltd., where he oversaw a portfolio of boutique hotels in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

In his new position, Schmidt-Kiefer will be responsible for the hotel's overall operational and commercial performance as well as its continued market positioning.

The hotel said his appointment is expected to support its efforts to strengthen guest experiences and encourage visitors to explore Dhaka's culture, cuisine and local attractions.

Schmidt-Kiefer will lead the property as it seeks to build on its position in Dhaka's luxury hotel market.
