Christian Hoehn, General Manager at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal
Tell us three things about your role at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal that make going to work challenging and exciting…
Christian Hoehn. I am extremely proud to be appointed as the General Manager of this iconic property. A new decade starts and exciting days are ahead of us. With the modern-day luxury traveler in constant evolution and the digital transformation worldwide, it is our duty to stay relevant to our guests. I look forward to driving a culture of innovation in our Ladies and Gentlemen that will be the key to differentiate us from the competition and generate both, outstanding guest experiences and business value.
Moreover, Abu Dhabi will keep rising as a world-class destination and it is crucial for us to lead guest satisfaction, retention and financial growth within the competitive hospitality landscape in the city.
What are some of your favourite cultural hotspots in Abu Dhabi and why?
CH. Abu Dhabi is a vibrant city bursting with culture and heritage. For a cultural morning, I recommend visiting Louvre Abu Dhabi that gleams with stunning architecture and provides direct access to first-class art and an interesting insight into cultural diversity. As the sun sets, I advocate a stopover at the iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Featuring marvellous interior design, it never fails to astonish visitors. Interestingly, our hotel was heavily influenced by the mosque and guests may notice that the acanthus flowers that decorate the mosque’s interiors adorn as well our resort’s own marble design. For unsurpassed views of the mosque, visit our property, particularly during the evening hours when the mosque illuminates beautifully as an icon over the sky.
Share with us some of your professional goals with the hotel for 2020….
CH. I look forward to a successful year strengthening The Ritz-Carlton legacy in Abu Dhabi and fostering a culture of excellence at our property, all whilst maximizing financial performance and retaining profit leadership. We will reinforce our brand promise and create indelible memories for our guests through genuine care and unparalleled service. It is these unique and personalized experiences that bring our guests back. We will also inspire, energise and develop our Ladies and Gentlemen that are the heart of our operations. Additionally, we will engage further with our local community consolidating our commitment to the society and the environment.
