Bankside Hotel appoints new GM

The Bankside Hotel has announced the appointment of Philip Steiner as its new general manager. 

Steiner began his career at Rome Cavalieri, Italy, having previously studied Hospitality Management at the International Hotel School in The Hague. This was followed by several years with Hilton and then Starwood hotels in The Netherlands.

After moving to the UK in 2014, Steiner was appointed director of Hotels for ISS, managing a “sizeable” team that oversaw the back of house services for over 150 UK hotels.

Since joining Cycas Hospitality in 2018, he took on the role of director of Accommodations and Serviced Apartments, before becoming general manager for Moxy and Residence Inn by Marriott Slough, opening two hotels outside London at the height of the pandemic. 

On his new appointment, Steiner said: “I am thrilled to be joining the team at Bankside. The hotel has such strong links with the local community and artists – especially through its Artist in Residence programme – and this new role presents a unique opportunity for me to combine my hospitality experience with my passion for art and my fascination with the London cultural and hospitality and food scene.”

Apurva Pratap, MD of Cycas Hospitality, added: “We are delighted to have appointed Philip as General Manager at Bankside. Over the past few years he has proved himself an invaluable member of the Cycas team, and we look forward to seeing how Philip continues to build on the success of this vibrant hotel, maximising its full potential in 2023 and beyond.”
