Executive Appointments at Hotel G Beijing

The Hotel G Beijing, a new designer boutique hotel which will open in Beijing later this month, has made the following four key executive appointments.

Veteran German hotelier Nikolaus Ellrodt has been appointed General Manager. He previously managed Germany-based Hotel Reservation Service Asia.

Mr. Ellrodt has over 20 years experience in the hospitality industry, including stints with international deluxe hotel chains Hilton, InterContinental and Le Meridien.

Singaporean Eddie Teo has been appointed Food & Beverage Director primarily responsible for the new hotel’s three bar and restaurant venues – 25 Degrees, named after one of LA’s best burger bars at the famous Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard, and Gilt, a split-level rooftop restaurant and lounge/bar, serving Mediterranean cuisine with a Tibetan twist.

Mr Teo, 43, a graduate of Singapore’s Hotel & Catering Educational College, was previously Executive Assistant Manager aboard mega-cruise ship SuperStar Virgo around Australia and Asia. He earlier worked at Copthorne King’s Hotel in Singapore.

Paul Fu, 37, has been appointed Director of Sales and Marketing. He was previously Director of Sales at Hyatt on the Bund, Shanghai.

The Taiwanese graduate of New York University Graduate School started his hotel career as a cost auditor at Grand Hyatt Taipei in 1995. He worked at Helmsley Park Lane before graduating and switching to sales & marketing as sales manager at Crowne Plaza Taipei and Grand Hyatt Taipei.

Ms Adriana Cuadrado has been appointed Guest Services Director, joining from Soho House in New York, where she was Guest Relations Manager.

Originally from Spain, she started her career at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, followed by appointments at such deluxe properties as Bulgari Milano and The Berkeley, London.

Inspired by the retro chic of the 1960’s, the 110-room Hotel G Beijing neighbours a host of popular eateries and nightspots.

The first of an exclusive boutique hotel brand launched by Hong Kong-based real estate private equity management firm Gateway Capital is the flagship for a planned boutique hotel chain across China and Asia.

Gateway Capital is headed by real estate entrepreneur Goodwin Gaw, renowned for the recent US$24 million restoration of the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles. His company also owns a portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts in North America and Asia.
