Adrian Attard Returns to Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa in Malta as General Manager
Twenty-five years since working as a pool boy at Corinthia Palace
Hotel & Spa in Malta, Maltese-born Adrian Attard is returning as
General Manager this week.
Pool duties at the hotel that spawned the collection of Corinthia
Hotels around the world turned into a passion for the hotel industry for
this 18 year-old. Adrian went on to graduate from the Institute of
Tourism Studies in 1996 with a diploma in Hotel Administration.
His career has been steeped in Corinthia and Radisson, including
Assistant GM of a Tunisian property then owned by Corinthia, and opening
the Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Golden Sands in Malta with F&B.
Adrian also became involved in operational responsibility, as Director
of Revenue for the Corinthia hotels on the island, and since 2011, GM of
sister brand, the Radisson Blu Resort in St Julian's on Malta.
Adrian is a graduate of the Cornell General Managers Program and
currently sits on the Council of the Malta Hotels and Restaurants
Association, as well as the Board of Governors of the Institute of
Tourism Studies.
“It is a great honor to be coming back to the Corinthia Palace Hotel and Spa at this time,” he says. “This hotel is the essence of excellence in Mediterranean hospitality, a special place with a team that is clearly passionate and dedicated to creating unforgettable memories for our guests. I look forward to being part of this story.”
Adrian Attard takes over from David Woodward, GM of Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa since 2012, who will remain within the property to oversee the refurbishment of the property currently being undertaken and who will become a consultant to Corinthia Hotels.
Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa opened in 1968, incorporating the palatial villa that had already been running for six years as a restaurant. Villa Corinthia has remained an integral part of the Corinthia Palace Hotel and is known today as one of Malta's finest dining spots, with a luxurious and elegant setting. Corinthia Palace Hotel celebrates its 50th anniversary.
