The Cavendish London has announced the appointment of Lloyd Cole as its new general manager.
He also has more than 12 years of experience in the hospitality industry, with a strong focus on commercial and operational development.
Cole joined The Cavendish from St. Ermin’s Hotel, part of the Autograph Collection, where he was also a hotel manager. Prior to this, he worked as director of operations at Lincoln Plaza London, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, and The Chelsea Harbour Hotel.
He was also director of sales, marketing and operations at the five-star Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel, as well as being value centre general manager at the 801-bedroom The Tower Hotel, which is located opposite Tower Bridge in central London.
The Cavendish London is located in Mayfair and Piccadilly on the corner of Duke Street and Jermyn Street and is managed by The Ascott Limited. The deluxe four-star hotel has 230 rooms, offering guests accommodation within easy reach of the capital’s West End theatres, art galleries, restaurants and iconic landmarks.
Cole said: “I’m thrilled to join the team at The Cavendish London, and further grow the potential of this well-established historic hotel, by building upon its strong position as the place to stay, dine and unwind when visiting Mayfair.
“There are some exciting plans in the pipeline and I’m looking forward to working within Ascott, who have such a wide and established global reach in the market. This is a great opportunity to take the reins and help further grow, develop and enhance the already strong position of The Cavendish London.”
Billy Hughes, area manager of The Cavendish London, said: “We are delighted Lloyd has joined our fantastic team at The Cavendish London and become part of the wider Ascott family. He brings a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience with him that will be invaluable.
“I’m certain Lloyd’s hard work, enthusiasm and drive will continue to take the hotel from strength to strength, and I look forward to working together to ensure our guests at The Cavendish London always enjoy excellent service and an unforgettable experience.”
