Sofitel So Bangkok Appoints New GM

Sofitel So Bangkok has appointed Yves Mudry as General Manager.

Immediately after graduating from the prestigious École hôtelière de Lausanne, Yves moved to Southeast Asia in 1997. To date, he has accrued more than 16 years of hospitality experience with Le Méridien hotels in Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, 10 of which were in a General Manager capacity.

His most recent posting in Asia was at Le Méridien Saigon as pre-opening General Manager.

Yves is no stranger to Thailand having worked previously in Thai capital, Koh Samui, and Chiang Mai, including a role as opening General Manager of Le Méridien Chiang Mai.

A Swiss national, Yves is fluent in French and English, competent in German. He also has working knowledge of Thai and Bahasa Indonesian.

On his new role, Yves said, “I feel excited and privileged to have the opportunity to helm one of Bangkok's most exciting urban design hotels. In a relatively short period of time, the hotel has already attained an impressive reputation for embodying the Sofitel So's design uniqueness and the tech-savvy services offered to guests. Along with my team, I look forward to carrying on this tradition of creating stellar experiences by keeping the hotel offerings fresh and relevant as we enter chapter two of the Sofitel So Bangkok story book.”

Yves fills the role recently vacated by Gilles Cretallaz, who has taken on a corporate challenge with the Accor group as Vice President of operations, looking after Sofitel, Pullman, MGallery, and Grand Mercure properties in six Southeast Asian countries.
