I am truly excited by the prospect of working as both coach and team-player in helping to grow the Corinthia portfolio”, said Mr Lambert.

Welcoming his appointment, Simon Naudi, CEO of Corinthia Hotels, said“Liam joins Corinthia at an exciting time, having just launched our flagship London hotel and looking forward to actively expanding our brand in major cities around the world.
