Thomas-Kochs
Former Claridge's general manager Thomas Kochs has joined London hotel and restaurant Café Royal as managing director.
Kochs has been hired by Café Royal owner The Set to steer forward the 160-bedroom hotel, its restaurants and bars.
He said: “I am excited to be joining the team at Café Royal, one of the most beautiful buildings in London with fascinating heritage and history to work with. Café Royal is already ‘London’s Living Room’, a place for minds to come together and creativity to flourish, where guests can connect to and enjoy the hotel’s offering. Café Royal as a hotel is three years young and at this point is clearly ready to take the next step in its journey. There are exciting things to come, which I am thrilled to be a part of”.
