Hasham Soliman has been appointed Area General Manager at St Martins Lane and Sanderson London
Morgans Originals, the curators of independent hotels and part of the Ennismore brand, have appointed Hasham Soliman as Area General Manager for both St Martins Lane (the boutique five-star hotel in London's West End) and Sanderson London (the luxury lifestyle hotel in Fitzrovia).
Soliman brings with him an impressive 30 years' experience in the London luxury hotel industry, where he has been involved in a total of seven new hotel openings, with him assuming the role of General Manager within four of those; all of which have built expertise that translates effortlessly to ensuring the ongoing success of both St Martins Lane and Sanderson London.
Soliman joins the team from his previous role as Cluster General Manager for Dominus Real Estate, where he successfully opened Lost Property - St Paul's (a Curio Collection hotel by Hilton) and The Dixon - Tower Bridge (an Autograph Collection hotel by Marriott).
Other career milestones include tenures at the Park Plaza Westminster, where Soliman managed one of the busiest hotel operations in the UK with 1019 bedrooms and 35 meeting rooms, as well as feasibility for The Black Book Consultancy for Svart-Norway (the world's first energy positive hotel and soon to become a Six Senses Hotel) - where Soliman worked on hotel configuration, operations, sustainability and five-year business plan.
In addition, Soliman also worked alongside teams in both hotels to develop restaurant and bar concepts, in keeping with each venue and market trends.
One career highlight for Soliman was his role as General Manager for the Intercontinental London, The O2, which is home to the largest pillar free ballroom in Europe, with capacity for 3000 people.
