Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea, Jordan has appointed Marc Guenther as its new general manager.

Joining the luxury hotel after his most recent assignment as general manager at The Regency Hotel Kuwait, the seasoned hotelier holds more than 25 years of experience acquired in various luxury hotels around the world.

Not new to Kempinski, Guenther has managed several Kempinski hotels in different countries, such as Kempinski Hotel Aqaba Red Sea, in Jordan, and Kempinski Hotel Indonesia Jakarta, in addition to other hotel brands, including Hilton.

Henk Meyknecht, chief operations officer Kempinski Hotels Middle East & Africa, stated: “Marc is an experienced hospitality professional, already familiar with Kempinski and Jordan, and we trust that he will further drive the success of Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea.”

Kempinski Hotel Ishtar, a leading hotel in the Dead Sea, is currently improving its facilities and services. Promising development plans are upcoming: the addition of Inanna Terrace, the newest outdoor venue featuring panoramic views of the Dead Sea and perfect for hosting impressive weddings and social events, which will be ready by September; and the upgrade of the luxurious Ishtar Royal Villas, making them the epitome of luxury in the Dead Sea, in addition to a new Lebanese restaurant, which will complement the diverse culinary adventures in the hotel and will also be ready next year.

Upon arrival, Guenther said: “I am delighted to be back in Jordan and to be part of the highly professional team of the iconic Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea. I look forward to continuing the success of this flagship hotel, working on developing more talents, craftsmanship and implementing innovative concepts that will not only promote the hotel as a unique destination in the Dead Sea, but also feature Jordan as an exceptional touristic country in the Middle East.” - TradeArabia News Service
