Adnan Yucel has been appointed as General Manager at Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay Bodrum
It's back home with immediate effect for Adnan Yucel: The 50-year-old Turk was recently appointed by Kempinski Hotels as the new general manager at Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay Bodrum and is now in charge of the luxury hotel, which extends over an area of 62,000 sq m in Gökova Bay with a fantastic view of the Aegean Sea. Most recently, Adnan Yucel worked in Ghana, West Africa, as General Manager at Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra.
Yucel is no stranger to Bodrum and the Turkish hotel market, where he managed the two hotels Swissôtel Resort Bodrum Beach and Bodrum Hill from 2016 to 2018, and has also worked as general manager in several Turkish Swissôtels in the past, including in Göcek and Ankara. Stations of his career within the country have included the Hilton Adana, the Hilton Mersin and the Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul.
But Adnan Yucel also has a lot to show at an international level: He spent many years abroad, mainly as a general manager in China, managing hotels such as the InterContinental Foshan, the Wanda Realm Hotel in Ningde and the Sofitel Dongguan Humen Oriental. In Saudi Arabia, he was responsible for Swissôtel Makkah, a 1,600-room complex.
