Donald to spearhead operations at PARKROYAL on Beach Road, overseeing exciting new developments launching this August.
PARKROYAL Hotels & Resorts has announced the appointment of David Donald as General Manager of PARKROYAL on Beach Road in Singapore. David will lead the 343-room hotel into a new phase of growth as it unveils its brand new state-of-the-art meetings and events facility this month.
With over 20 years of hospitality experience spanning Australia and New Zealand, David brings a fresh perspective to PARKROYAL on Beach Road as General Manager, his first role in Asia. No stranger to the PARKROYAL brand, David was previously General Manager of the 196-room PARKROYAL hotel in Parramatta, Australia, a key Meeting, Incentives, Events and Conference (MICE) destination in the Greater Sydney area. Before joining PARKROYAL Hotels & Resorts, David also held operations, rooms and revenue management roles at InterContinental Hotels Group, Starwood Hotels and Resorts and the former Southern Pacific Hotels Corporation.
His prior experience as General Manager of Crowne Plaza Canberra and National Convention Centre will also allow David to leverage his experience and keen knowledge of the MICE segment to drive business for PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s all-new dedicated meetings and events space.
Launching in late August, the new facilities will feature a striking landscaped arrival courtyard, with direct street access from Nicoll Highway, for an impressive and convenient arrival experience. The contemporary meetings and events space comprises flexible configurations of six function rooms, a meeting room and two pillar-less ballrooms. Spacious, filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows and featuring the latest state-of-the-art technology, it will be the perfect venue for weddings, corporate meetings and social events.
At the same time, the hotel will also be unveiling its new dedicated wellness floor including St. Gregory spa, pool bar and gym.
“I am excited to join the team at PARKOYAL on Beach Road during this new phase of development, which will set us apart from the competition,” said David Donald.
“Reflecting the PARKROYAL brand promise of ‘Your Trusted Local Companion’, our service and the amenities of the dedicated new space will fulfil the needs of any wedding, corporate meeting or social event.”
