Arno Nicolussi Moretto has been appointed as Area General Manager of Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara.

With extensive knowledge of the Middle East, Arno joins Anantara’s flagship property in the region as General Manager and is tasked with driving strategic growth and the continued success of the property in its second year. He takes over from Didier Tourneboeuf who recently announced his retirement.

Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara is located in the renowned Empty Quarter – a vast expanse of towering sand dunes stretching from the southern reaches of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia across into Oman and the UAE – the hotel’s design reflects the simple grandeur of an old desert fortress.

Arno’s role will also include Area Manager responsibilities for Anantara’s sister property in the UAE, the Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara, located on Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

As a graduate of the Hotel College Schloss Klessheim, Arno, an Austrian, spent a number of years working with InterContinental Hotels Group across the globe, including Dubai, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and finally Malaysia where he held the position of Regional Director of Food and Beverage.

Arno came to Dubai as Executive Assistant Manager of the opening team for the Jumeirah Beach Hotel before his career path saw him move on to manage properties for the luxury Swissotel group in Egypt and China and The Ritz in Taiwan.

Having firmly established himself as an expert in luxury hotel and resort openings, Arno returned to InterContinental Hotels Group as General Manager for the Olympic City InterContinental and then the Shanghai InterContinental.

“I am delighted to welcome Arno to the Anantara team. Given his breadth of experience, successful track record spanning almost 25 years, combined with his solid understanding of the region’s hospitality business, Arno is the ideal General Manager to drive Anantara’s continued growth in the UAE,” said Peter Carmichael, Senior VP of Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas.
