She said: "It seems no matter where you travel these days, people are talking about Dubai and this is especially so in the hotel industry.

"Overseeing operations at the Al Sondos properties means I will be working at the heart of the city, and I am looking forward to catering to the discerning multi-cultural clientele that favour the type of suite and apartment accommodation that is our speciality here."
