Oliver will be based out of Heathrow, where he will oversee the property’s much anticipated refurbishment, scheduled to be unveiled in spring 2021.
The hotel will also welcome well known restaurant brand OXBO. OXBO metro, will draw its inspiration from nature and will be a “a significantly upgraded offering,” said Stockland.
“As well as the very strong team at the hotel we have brought in a significant number of specialist consultants who will be working with us on the refurbishment,” he said.
“Despite current circumstances, it’s a very exciting time for this property and we look forward to the completion of the refurbishment. This hotel has always had a first class reputation for providing our guests with a superb customer experience and maintaining that reputation is very high on my list of priorities.
“The hospitality industry is going to have to operate in a very different way in the future and I am looking forward to being at the forefront of identifying new opportunities and innovating to meet customer demands. I am very lucky to have very dedicated teams at all of these hotels and I’m looking forward to working closely and supporting all of them.”
