Executive Appointments at Skye Suites

Skye Suites, the hotel division of the Crown Group real estate developer, has appointed David Bowen as Director of Hotels.

David will be in charge of the entire Skye Suites portfolio of luxury boutique hotels including Skye Suites Sydney, Parramatta and Green Square.

Formerly National Operations Manager at Lendlease, David has over 15 years’ of experience in the luxury hotel space.

David said, “Having led numerous hotels through my career, I’m really looking forward to the task of building Skye Suites into an award-winning 5-star luxury hotel brand. With such a new yet highly skilled leadership team, we will draw on the very best aspects from our past experiences and create a refreshing and invigorating cohort that delivers high-quality guest experiences.”

Joining David at Skye Suites is Revenue Manager, May Toh who joins the business with over 13 years’ of experience in the hospitality industry.

Working in some of Australia’s most renowned hotels including Daydream Island Resort, Shangri-La Hotel Sydney and the Westin Sydney, May will handle hotel and revenue management while leading members towards corporate goals and revenue targets.

Earlier this year, Crown Group appointed Ari Foo as Sales Director of Skye Suites. Adding to his 25-year career within the hotel sector, Foo has jumped straight into the role leading all hotel-based sales activities and strategies.

Iwan Sunito, Crown Group CEO, said, “Leading a quarter-billion-dollar hotel is in no way a one-person job. It’s about creating the right team for success and that’s exactly what we are doing at Skye Suites from the leadership team right through to the staff on the ground welcoming guests’ day in and day out. While many other CBD hotels have reported significant losses this year as a result of COVID and the rise in regional hotel stays, Skye Suites has been bucking the trend and defying the odds with strong occupancy levels. I believe this is a testament to not just the facilities, affordability and uniqueness of our suites but also to our dedicated staff across the three Skye Suites properties.”
