A Glaswegian with over three decades experience in the hospitality industry has been appointed as Cluster General Manager for Glasgow’s Kimpton Blythswood Square and voco Grand Central.
Marcello Ventisei was only appointed as GM for the voco Grand Central eight months ago, but his newly expanded remit within the IHG portfolio will now see him take overall responsibility for the management of both its city centre properties, while working alongside the onsite teams to maintain the hotels positions as go to destinations for leisure and business.
Glasgow born and bred, Marcello brings a wealth of industry experience having held key leadership roles in prestigious hotels and resorts across the UK since beginning his career at the Grand Hotel in Brighton.
With his roots firmly in the city, Marcello said that he was passionate about building on the heritage and reputation of both properties: “My career in hospitality has taken me to destinations across the globe. I’ve worked and stayed in some of the most beautiful properties in the world but nothing comes close to the charm, character and style of these properties. Made even more special by the fact they both reside in my own city.
“While the properties both have their own story and individual offering, they also share so many similarities that I can’t wait to make more of. I’m fortunate to have such a wonderful, established team who will play a key role in delivering and upholding the highest standards of hospitality.”
