“After completing the hotel’s extensive renovation, we immediately started our search for the ideal candidate. With Prateek’s notable experience in luxury hotels in Singapore and most recently, working as General Manager for a newly opened deluxe hotel, we knew he had the right energy and enthusiasm to re-launch the hotel” shares Gerhard Kropp, Regional Vice President of Dusit International and President of Philippine Hotelier’s Inc., owning company of Dusit Thani Manila.
