With a life-long passion for the hospitality industry, he brings with him over 15 year’s experience across an extensive portfolio of luxury and boutique brands. After graduating from Shannon College of Hotel Management in Ireland, accredited with a bachelor’s degree in International Hotel Management, Aidan has worked across all main operational departments with a focus on the rooms division and driving quality assurance ratings, guest satisfaction scores, upselling programs and streamlining all front office operations.

The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai is a very special property and absolutely thriving, which is a testament to The Ritz-Carlton’s unwavering brand culture and the team’s dedication to providing unprecedented service that leaves an indelible mark.”

“With the resort celebrating its 20th anniversary in September, I’m looking forward to the upcoming historic year and being part of a hotel legacy in a world-class destination that is Dubai,” he continued.

Aidan’s focus over the coming months is to maintain the record-breaking results of 2017, honing in on luxury brand standards and quality consistency at every touch point of the hotel.

A dazzling pearl of the sea surrounded by a shining crown of skyscrapers, The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai is set amongst nearly 400,000 square feet of tranquil landscaped gardens and fronted by 350 meters of private white-sand beach.
