United Arab Emirates, Dubai, 12 May 2023: Jumeirah, the global luxury hospitality company and member of Dubai Holding, has named Gianluca Priori as General Manager of Jumeirah Carlton Tower, the group’s flagship hotel located in the fashionable district of London’s Knightsbridge. Priori’s remit will also include the neighbouring Jumeirah Lowndes, located near London’s royal Hyde Park and Harrods department store.
With over two decades of experience in luxury hospitality, Priori’s appointment follows an impressive three-year tenure as General Manager of Jumeirah Mallorca in Mallorca, Spain. Joining Jumeirah at the height of the global pandemic, Priori cultivated a high performing team of hospitality professionals, culminating in a record year for the hotel in 2022 across all performance indicators. The resort was also named “Spain’s Leading Luxury Hotel” at the World Travel Awards for 2022 and “The Best Resort in Spain” in the 2021 Condé Nast Traveller Gold Awards.
“Jumeirah is delighted to welcome Gianluca Priori as General Manager for Jumeirah Carlton Tower and Jumeirah Lowndes,” said Thomas B. Meier, Chief Operating Officer of Jumeirah. “Gianluca’s true passion for hospitality and invaluable experience at Jumeirah Mallorca, where he was instrumental in delivering exceptional levels of guest experience and growth at a challenging time for the industry across Europe, has been central to building brand equity in our European markets. His experience and success will be integral to supporting the growth of the Jumeirah brand in key gateway cities,” he added.
Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London is the quintessential address for those seeking a stylish city break. Extensively renovated in 2021, Jumeirah’s flagship London property has become an iconic landmark and beacon of modern classic luxury, setting new standards in personalised luxury and exceptional service. A rarity for the capital, the property boasts a number of rooms and suites which have the benefit of a balcony, enabling guests to take full advantage of the stunning views across London, as well as London’s largest naturally lit swimming pool.
Both Jumeirah Carlton Tower and Jumeirah Lowndes are overseen by Ermanno Zanini, Regional Vice President of Southern Europe and UK whose remit extends to Jumeirah’s Italian jewel, Jumeirah Capri Palace, and the panoramic cliffside retreat Jumeirah Mallorca, Spain.
Priori has a longstanding career within Europe’s luxury hospitality sector, having held several leadership positions in the prestigious European cities of Paris and Milan for Hyatt Hotels and Four Seasons. In his new role as General Manager of Jumeirah Carlton Tower and Jumeirah Lowndes, he will steer a new expression for the brand and enhance its reputation as a globally recognised luxury hotel operator.
