Stefan Keel Joins Mövenpick Resort Boracay as GM

Stefan Keel has been appointed General Manager of the Mövenpick Resort Boracay.

Scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2016, Mövenpick Resort Boracay is the second Mövenpick branded property in the Philippines, after the 245-room Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu.

Swiss-national Stefan Keel speaks four languages, and has worked in the hotel industry for over 20 years in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

He started his career as a hotel management trainee with Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts in 1995 and over nine years worked at Mövenpick hotels in Zurich, Switzerland, El Gouna, Egypt and Aqaba, Jordan. He has also worked for hospitality brands Almapura, Swiss Inn, Rezidor and Ramada.

"I am very excited to be given the opportunity to launch a property of such enormous potential and with so many unique characteristics," said Mr Keel. "Mövenpick Resort Boracay is a low-rise resort, leaving a light footprint on the environment, while embracing the beauty of the stunning private cove setting, which is perfect for weddings, romantic occasions and families."

The 333-room Mövenpick Resort Boracay is located in the northwest area of Boracay island, on Punta Bunga Beach, famed for its powdery white sand, breathtaking sunsets and aquamarine waters.
