For nearly 20 years I have worked with the world's largest hotel group and I am very proud to now be taking on this role, at one of the best InterContinental properties in the world.'
'At InterContinental Riyadh, the culture is to provide our guests with the very highest standards possible and that is something that I would like to see continue.
