New General Manager Takes Helm At Grand Millennium Dubai

Date Posted: 27-10-2010

New general manager at the Grand Millennium Dubai is Alex Kassatly, a veteran hotelier with more than 30 years’ experience of hotel management in North America, the Middle East and Asia.

Canadian Kassatly studied hospitality at Montreal’s Concordia University and Cornell in New York, later graduating from the Advanced Management Program for the Hospitality Industry at the University of Guelph in Ontario.

He joined Fairmont Hotels & Resorts in 1976 and progressed up the career ladder with that chain, becoming food & beverage director at the Chateau Champlain; rooms division director at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth; director of operations at Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac and general manager at hotels in Quebec, New Brunswick and New York.

Leaving Canada in 2007, Kassatly transferred to Cairo to spearhead Fairmont’s move in to the Egyptian capital, overseeing the renovation and opening of the Fairmont Towers Heliopolis, before moving on to Asia to take up a post as area general manager for Raffles in Cambodia.

A member of the Chaine de Rotisseurs and L’Amicale des Sommeliers, he is also actively involved in charity work, both at fundraising and board level.

“I am delighted to be in Dubai at this exciting time, and look forward to placing the Grand Millennium at the forefront of activities, both social and charitable,” he said.

“With our range of services designed to appeal to both corporate and leisure guests, as well as excellent meeting and spa facilities, the hotel is the ideal solution to every hospitality requirement.”

Located near the Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, the hub for business and retail opportunities, the hotel is equally convenient for beach, golf and city, just 20 minutes’ from the international airport and adjacent to the Dubai Metro.
