DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - 18 OCTOBER, 2015

Dubai's luxurious Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa, which recently joined Autograph Collection - Marriott International's exclusive portfolio of independent hotels, has appointed Fredrik Reinisch as the new General Manager.

Fredrik Reinisch joins Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection from Jabel Ali Hotels & Resorts where he was Regional General Manager for the United Arab Emirates and Seychelles from the start of 2014.

Fredrik's career in JA Resorts & Hotels started in 2001 when he joined as Front Office Manager for Oasis Beach Hotel. He was later promoted to Resident Manager of the same property. After six years of dedication, he was awarded with the title of General Manager of JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort. Before his exciting move to Dubai, Fredrik studied Hotel Management in both Sweden and the UK and has stepped in the industry by working in Millennium and Copthorne Hotels in the UK.

Apart from his wealth of knowledge in hospitality, Fredrik is known for his particular dedication to Corporate Social Responsibility activities which included getting his head shaved at Arabian Travel Market in May 2014 and a 120km walk from Dubai to Hatta in May 2015 in order to raise funds for an orphanage in Sierra Leone.

"I'm delighted to start a new journey in this stunning property and in strong partnership with Marriott International. Autograph Collection is known for creating authentic experiences that are centred in rich personality,  and we are confident that championing this independent hotel experience will further strengthen our position in the market", the General Manager Fredrik Reinisch commented.

The 446-room Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection is situated on Dubai's World-famous Jumeirah Beach and adjacent to the stunning Dubai Marina, occupying one of Dubai's most enchanting beachside locations.  All rooms either face the sea, which stretches as far as the eye can see, or they face the beautifully manicured lawns and gardens of the property.
