Vineyard Hotel Appoints GM
CAPE TOWN, SA, November 20, 2006. The Vineyard Hotel and Spa is proud to announce the appointment of Roy Davies to the position of General Manager.
Davies is well known in the South African hotel industry from his days at The Bay Hotel. Appointed as Assistant General Manager back in 1989, Davies was promoted to General Manager in 1994. In this period, Davies attended a Professional Development Program (PDP) at Cornell University completing a course in Strategic General Management.
Keen for a change of direction, Davies left the hotel industry in 1999 and was a co-founder of a software development company and moved to the United Kingdom. The proverbial 'hotel bug' was too hard to shrug off however and he has found a new home at Cape Town's historic Vineyard Hotel and Spa.
Owned by the Petousis family, brothers George and Lex Petousis have both been integral in the running of the Vineyard Hotel and Spa as well as the family's original hotel venture - the Townhouse Hotel. George Petousis now holds the position of Chief Executive Officer and Lex Petousis is Group Operations Director in respect to both properties.
The Vineyard Hotel and Spa is a world-class four-star luxury hotel situated in Cape Town's leafy suburb of Newlands. Offering 173 well-appointed rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and Angsana Spa, the recently refurbished fine dining Au Jardin restaurant and a large multi award-winning conference venue, the Hotel is the gateway to all of greater Cape Town and is a mere 15 minutes from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town International airport and the city centre.
