At 38, Malliaroudakis has more than 17 years experience in the hospitality industry and he looks forward to the challenging - yet rewarding - times ahead at this brand new property.

'It is a wonderful experience to walk into a new role at a new hotel - it is going to be a very exciting time with a lot of growth going on around us. I look forward to the challenge,' said Malliaroudakis on his appointment.

Targeting mainly Jordanian, European and Gulf travellers, the stunning new property is sure to impress with its location and design. Crowning the peak of the Red Sea on the Gulf of Aqaba, the hotel boasts the longest stretch of private beach in Aqaba - with more than 300 meters of white sand.

With more than 5 years experience with the InterContinental Hotels Group this is Malliaroudakis' first role in Jordan. Previously he has worked in the hospitality sector in Greece and Lebanon.

'Being responsible for this amazing 255-room development, which provides the ultimate in luxurious accommodation for holidaymakers and business people, is a huge job but it is a challenge that excites me and I look forward to working with a well-experienced team,' said Malliaroudakis.

Denis Johnson, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, InterContinental Hotels Group Middle East and Africa, said: 'I am pleased to congratulate Carlos on his appointment to his new role. The entire team at InterContinental Hotels Group is confident that this seasoned professional will achieve the targets and aims that have been set.'
