Como Hotels and Resorts has appointed Javier Beneyto as the new general manager of the 144-bedroom Como Metropolitan in Mayfair, London.
Beneyto will oversee the launch a new restaurant concept in September 2018, which the group said will “further enhance the hotel’s position as a contemporary alternative on Park Lane”.
Born in Madrid, he began his career at the Arabella Sheraton Hotel in Palma de Mallorca, while studying hotel management at universities in Spain and Germany. Since graduating he has held managerial positions at hotels across the Caribbean, North America and Europe.
Commenting on his appointment, Beneyto said: “As a leader in a people’s industry I have a personal motto: ‘Try to fulfil and create warmth around the people you have close’; (clearly that includes our colleagues and guests), at the end of the day all the human beings desire to be noticed, recognised and want to feel a part of something greater.”
