The Resident Edinburgh appoints GM ahead of opening
Gillian Mylles’ experience spans leading hotel groups in the UK, including Malmaison, Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, and InterContinental, with a focus on Edinburgh
The Resident Edinburgh has appointed Gillian Mylles as the new general manager ahead of the hotel’s opening.
The 164-room property was subject to redevelopment from a 1960s establishment into a new hotel building.
Resident Hotels will operate the Upper Upscale hotel, developed with Mactaggart Family and Partners, becoming the sixth ‘The Resident’ branded hotel within the group’s portfolio.
Mylles’ experience spans leading hotel groups in the UK, including Malmaison, Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, and InterContinental, with a focus on Edinburgh.
David JM Orr, CEO of Resident Hotels, said: “We are privileged to have appointed someone of Gillian’s calibre, who brings with her great talent, a track record of setting her teams up for success, all with a calm professionalism that will quickly establish The Resident Edinburgh as one of the most sought-after, well-regarded hotels in the city.
“I look forward to Gillian thriving within our culture and with exceptional knowledge of the city that is her home.”
Regarding her appointment, Mylles said: “The Resident Edinburgh will be a strong addition to Edinburgh’s close-knit hotel community and has been designed with a real focus on guest experience.
“I am particularly proud to be working in a hotel with such a dedicated sustainability policy, from the development up. The sector needs to focus more on the issue and it’s something more and more visitors are looking for when they’re visiting hotels.”
