Manager of the hotel. Sampermans returns to the Thai capital after almost a decade, having
been Director of Food & Beverage at The Peninsula Bangkok from 2004 to 2007.
A Dutch national, Sampermans graduated from Limburg Zuyd University in the Netherlands
with a bachelor’s degree in finance. Before joining Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited
(HSH), the owner and operator of The Peninsula Hotels, he undertook leadership roles at
international luxury hotels in Cambodia, Germany and Thailand.
Joseph Sampermans joined HSH in 2004 to take up the role of Director of Food & Beverage at
The Peninsula Bangkok. In 2007, he moved to Japan to become the pre-opening Executive
Assistant Manager, Food & Beverage at The Peninsula Tokyo, and one year later he was promoted
to the post of Resident Manager.
In 2010, Sampermans transferred to The Peninsula Hong Kong, the group’s flagship hotel. Two
years later, in October 2012, he moved to Mainland China to oversee the landmark
transformation of The Peninsula Beijing, which was unveiled in June 2016.
