Seamus O'Hara, general manager, DoubleTree by Hilton Newcastle Airport hotel
The 179-bedroom DoubleTree by Hilton Newcastle Airport hotel has appointed Seamus O’Hara as general manager ahead of the hotel's opening next week.
Irish-born O’Hara was previously manager of the Glass House hotel and has also worked for major chains including Ramada.
“I have worked at other airport hotels so this is familiar ground to me but I’m also looking forward to the challenge of a brand new hotel,” he said. “There is a lovely property and there’s something about airport hotels that makes them have a very cosmopolitan feel.”
