(19/10/23)
 
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has appointed
Nils-Arne Schroeder as Senior Vice President of Operations for
Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

Nils joins Fairmont with a wealth of experience in
luxury hospitality. His career, which spans over three
decades – more than 20 of which were in Asia Pacific, has seen him take on complex leadership roles in
commercial, hotel operations and luxury brand management across
five countries in three continents including United Arab Emirates,
South Korea, China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.

Most recently, Nils held the role of Vice
President, Luxury Brands at Hilton, Asia Pacific where he was
responsible for spearheading brand initiatives for the company’s
three luxury brands in the region: Waldorf Astoria Hotels &
Resorts; Conrad Hotels & Resorts; and LXR Hotels & Resorts.

During
that time, he oversaw the openings of several landmark luxury
hotels including the first LXR hotel in the region in Kyoto,
Japan; and first Conrad hotel in Shanghai, China.

For almost two
years, Nils also concurrently held the position of Global Brand
Head for Conrad Hotels & Resorts, overseeing the then global
portfolio of 40 trading Conrad hotels and 20 hotels in the
pipeline.

In his current role with Fairmont, Nils is fully responsible for the operational
performance of 18 hotels across Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
He will also oversee more than 10 openings in the region which
will see the regional portfolio expand by over 50 percent.

Over
the coming years, guests and customers can look forward to
experiencing Fairmont’s extraordinary brand of luxury hospitality
in new city and resort destinations including Japan, Thailand and
Vietnam with the openings of Fairmont Tokyo, Fairmont Bangkok and
Fairmont Hanoi.

In addition, Nils will lead the expansion of
the Fairmont portfolio across gateway cities with the debut of
hotels such as Fairmont Dubai Skyline, Fairmont Shimla Fagu,
Fairmont Udaipur, Fairmont Mumbai Sahar and Fairmont Agra.

“We are delighted to introduce Nils as our new
Senior Vice President of Operations for Fairmont’s Middle East and
Asia regions,” said CEO, Mark Willis. “His wealth of
experience in luxury hospitality and demonstrated leadership are
significant assets to our team, committed to elevating the overall
guest experiences at our properties. With Nils on board, we are
forging ahead to solidify our position as the foremost destination
for discerning travelers around the globe.”
