As we rapidly expand our activities and enlarge our hotel management portfolio, we will strive to assign our experts to further exceptional projects, which we are already working on” – comments Guy Simmons, Partner & COO at Hotel Professionals Management Group.

„I am truly excited about the fact that Alex and Guy, with whom I had the pleasure of dealing with on a professional basis for many years, have invited me to cooperate with them. I treat my return to the hotel industry as an impelling challenge. Up to this day I remember the memorable words of Director Barabara Szuma who, while greeting me at the entrance of Hotel Park in Poznań in 2004, told me that who once has a taste of the hotel industry will always want to remain in it. Today I treat these words as a prophecy. I wholeheartedly believe that the immense experience of the HPMG management team, coupled with the enthusiasm of the entire new hotel staff and my humble self will be a guarantee for the highest standard of customer service for our guests at the Hampton by Hilton Gdańsk Oliwa hotel. I warmly invite everyone to stay with us” – adds Rafał Rosiejak.
