Kempinski Hotel & Residences Palm Jumeirah has welcomed Alessandro Redaelli as the hotel's new General Manager. Redaelli will oversee the day-to-day operations at the all-suite resort.
Redaelli will also oversee the second phase of the hotel's expansion. With construction for the project restarting in the coming weeks, the resort is set to open in the second half of 2015. Redaelli joins the team from Hotel Nikol'skaya Kempinski Moscow, where he oversaw the much-anticipated opening of the hotel as General Manager.

In addition he has also held the position of Group General Manager for Boscolo Luxury Hotels, simultaneously looking after hotels in Rome, Venice, Prague, Budapest and Nice.
The new appointment for Redaelli marks his return to the Middle East, having held a variety of management positions with InterContinental Hotels & Resorts in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and with Sheraton Hotel & Resorts in Doha.
