His first management role was at Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai – United Arab Emirates where he became Executive Assistant Manager and Jumeirah Group Coordinator for Food and Beverage, before taking on the role of General Manager in March 2004 at Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort and Spa, also in Dubai. After five more years with Jumeirah, Mr. Walther-Jones joined Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts in 2009 as General Manager of the Mövenpick Hotel Al Nawras in Saudi Arabia. He stayed with the group, working in the Middle East for a further five years at the Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach Residences before setting his sights on a new challenge in Bali.
