Oryx Rotana’s recently appointed GM meets the press

Mr. Mark Timbrell, the newly appointed General Manager of Oryx Rotana, the five star luxury business hotel in Doha, announced the management's current and future plans to strengthen the hotel’s position both locally and internationally. During the Press Conference - his first address to the local media - he offered insights about the refurbishment projects undertaken across all its outlets. He also highlighted some of the promotional activities that the hotel will reinforce in the near future.

Emphasizing on Oryx Rotana’s high reputation, Mr. Mark Timbrell said, “Oryx Rotana occupies a special place not only among visitors to the State of Qatar but also among those who have been acquainted with the high level of services that we offer through our various outlets.  Whether it is the lobby, which has now been totally redesigned, or our famous restaurants, the well-equipped gym or meeting rooms, all these serve as a meeting place for our guests who enjoy spending quality time with their friends or relatives."

“I am delighted to be in Qatar, and I’ve had a lot of positive vibes about its booming hospitality sector. Also, due to substantial economic growth, Doha is poised to be the hub for international conventions and exhibitions. I joined the administration of Oryx Rotana in Doha due to several factors, one of them is the fact that the hotel has achieved great success locally and internationally. The hotel has positioned itself as a prime destination to businessmen and is also by far the most popular hotel among all segments of the society," he continued.

“I joined Oryx Rotana this November, and I am looking forward to working hand in hand with this special team who have achieved a lot in terms of providing excellent services.  We will continue the march of success and attain greater heights to serve the hotel's clients,” he added.
