Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts has welcomed Alexander Sheppard to the role of hotel manager for Banyan Tree Bangkok.

Originally from New Zealand, Sheppard studied French literature and management at Victoria University.

With the support of his British wife and two boys, he has lived and worked for international hotel brands including Hyatt and Dusit Thani Hotels in Egypt, Indonesia, Australia and the United States over the last twenty years.

Sheppard brings with him luxury hotel and hospitality experience with numerous achievements in opening food and beverage projects and concepts including restaurants, bars, multi-purpose function spaces and private member clubs around the globe.

His latest assignment prior to joining the Banyan Tree Group was with Dusit Thani Lakeview Cairo, Egypt where he was executive assistant manager.

Sheppard believes that the key to success in hospitality is ‘the people’ where teamwork and collaboration are significant factors that drive a successful property.

With an aligned core value, Banyan Tree is confident that Sheppard will drive Banyan Tree Bangkok forward and to even greater heights.
