How's Business at The St. Regis Astana? Exclusive Interview with Luciano Sozzo, GM

[FHD video and podcast below] Exclusive interview with Mr. Luciano Sozzo, General Manager of The St. Regis Astana, one of the most luxurious hotels in Kazakhstan.

In this interview, filmed in the Presidential Suite of The St. Regis Astana on 14 December 2018, Steven Howard asks Mr. Sozzo how business has been since the hotel opened in September 2017.

We discuss which markets have been staying at the hotel since opening, and which markets he sees potential for growth.

We also discuss how the luxury property has broken down its room categories, how the rooms and suites differ, and how The St. Regis stands our from the other luxury hotels in the city such as The Ritz-Carlton.

Mr. Sozzo explains the advantages of the hotel's location, why its F&B outlets are already regarded as some of the best in the city, and how the hotel has managed to top St Regis polls in so many categories, despite being so new. All that and much, much more in the HD video interview and podcast below.
