Al Husn Hotel Muscat announces the appointment of Eugène de Rooze as Hotel Manager, bringing a wealth of international luxury hospitality experience to one of Oman’s most distinctive coastal retreats.
A Dutch-national with more than 20 years of experience
across leading hospitality destinations, Rooze has held senior roles across the
Middle East, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, Mexico and the US.
His career spans some of the world’s most recognised luxury
hotel brands, including Kempinski, Waldorf Astoria, The Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt and
Fairmont, giving him a global perspective shaped by both landmark resorts and
complex city hotels.
Most recently, Rooze served as Hotel Manager at
Kempinski Palace Cairo, where he oversaw the hotel’s key operational divisions
across rooms, food and beverage, culinary, security, spa and recreation,
training and quality.
Prior to this, he was Director of Operations at Waldorf
Astoria Kuwait where he played a pivotal role in the hotel’s pre-opening and
early success, contributing to Forbes Five-Star recognition for both the hotel
and spa within its first year of operation.
Known for his hands-on leadership style and focus on
developing high-performing teams, Rooze brings a people-first approach to
luxury hospitality.
His experience in pre-openings, repositioning projects,
large-scale operations and service refinement will support Al Husn Hotel Muscat
as it continues to strengthen its position as an intimate luxury retreat rooted
in Omani warmth and cultural character.
In his new role, Rooze will oversee the hotel’s day-to-day
operations, working closely with the wider resort leadership team to further
elevate the guest journey across Al Husn Hotel Muscat, from arrival and service
delivery to dining, wellness and bespoke experiences.
“Al Husn Hotel Muscat is a truly special property, with a
setting and spirit that are deeply connected to Oman,” said Rooze. “I look
forward to working closely with the team to build on its strong foundations,
while continuing to create meaningful, intuitive and memorable experiences for
our guests.”
“Rooze brings a robust international background, proven
operational expertise and a thoughtful leadership approach to Al Husn Hotel
Muscat,” said Matthew Mullan, Resort General Manager of Hilton Muscat, Barr Al
Jissah Resorts. “His experience across leading luxury hospitality brands will
be instrumental as we continue to evolve the hotel’s guest experience and
strengthen its position within Oman’s luxury hospitality landscape.” -TTN
