The Oriental Residence Bangkok, the inaugural property for the newly-announced luxury hotel brand Saffron, has appointed established Bangkok hotelier Patrick Schaub in the role of General Manager.

Prior to taking on this role, Schaub was Hotel Manager at the Plaza Athenee Hotel, Bangkok. In a career that spans more than 16 years, he has held various senior positions in food and beverage management in numerous international destinations, including Switzerland and the USA.

He then decided to broaden his international expertise by moving to Thailand to join The Peninsula Bangkok before then moving to the Westin Grande Sukhumvit, also in Bangkok. In his various roles, Schaub has spearheaded strategic revenue management initiatives and been an integral team member of hotel re-branding and pre-opening projects.

The Oriental Residence Bangkok is scheduled to open mid-2011.
