Citymax Hotels, the Landmark Group’s award-winning mid-market hotel brand, has announced the appointment of Nidal Saloum as Hotel Manager for its flagship 204-room property in Ras Al Khaimah.

Saloum will also be managing operations for the 2 Citymax properties located in Aswan, Egypt.

A well-rounded hospitality professional with 15 years of experience working across some of the region’s leading hotel brands, Saloum has a reputation for being results-driven and goal-oriented.

Commenting on his new role, he said he was looking forward to continuing the good work, which has enabled the hotel to successfully create a niche in the busy and vibrant East Coast hospitality space. From conceptualizing innovative offers to the 97 percent retention of its opening team and the collective endeavour to make every moment at the hotel a celebration, Citymax’s team is a great representation of the vibe that has become the template of the chain.

“Just like the bright and lively décor, the eye-catching artwork and the rooms that mix adventurous colours and youthful comfort into a largely functional design, the team exudes cheer, warmth, and versatility. It is these vibes that I will aim to harness to enhance the overall offering with new concepts and perspectives,” said Saloum.

“Strengthening the visibility, reputation and market reach of Citymax within Ras Al Khaimah and beyond remains a top priority.  Moreover, the team and I will work together on various soft touches that will ultimately improve the guest experience journey and create not only long-lasting impressions but also ensure loyalty and repeat business, which is our hallmark,” he added.

With occupancy currently at a healthy percentage, and the hotel’s participation in unique initiatives like Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority’s RAKation summer campaign, he expects it to be a landmark summer for Citymax Ras Al Khaimah.

Citymax RAK continues to be consistently ranked in the top five hotels in RAK. On booking.com the hotel maintains an 8.1 ranking and continues to play a pivotal role in supplementing the efforts of RAK tourism to create additional demand for Destination RAK. – TradeArabia News Service
