UK: Neil Taylor has been appointed as operations director at London serviced apartment owner/operator Cheval Residences.
In his new role, Taylor will be “dedicated to offering outstanding service to guests across the portfolio of five star residences”.
Prior to joining Cheval Residences, Taylor, who has more than 30 years’ experience in the hospitality industry, held several senior positions at Redefine BDL Hotels, before continuing as chief operating officer.
In this role, he was instrumental in key growth for Redefine BDL Hotels, which saw its portfolio increase from 10 hotels to more than 60 through acquisition and management contracts. This eventually led the group to be the largest multi-branded hotel group in the UK. Taylor joined BDL Hotels in 2000 and has experience of opening and operating hotels across various brands including IHG, Hilton, Wyndham & Best Western.
Taylor said: “I am very excited to be joining Cheval Residences, where each property has its own individual character and a level of service rarely enjoyed outside the world’s finest hotels. I look forward to working with the Cheval team and moving the business forward within the five-star market.”
George Westwell, director of Cheval Residences, added: “we are delighted to have Neil join the Cheval family, and we anticipate he will become a pivotal role model within the business, delivering vision and leadership whilst maintaining a focus on Cheval Residences’ position as a leader within the serviced apartment sector.”
