Malta's iconic Corinthia Palace Hotel has unveiled its appointment of a new General Manager, in the form of Alexandra Pisani.

She takes over from Adrian Attard, who has moved on to Corinthia Prague, and joins the hotel from the Corinthia London.

In her time in London, she developed an international perspective, and the Corinthia Palace says she is making the move at “an exhilarating time.”

Welcoming the appointment, Ms Pisani said it gives her “great pleasure.”

The hotel, she said, has been a part of her life for as long as she remembers, with some of her happiest memories having played out within its walls.

As such, she finds it “a huge honour to now help lead it into an exciting new phase!”

“I can’t wait to share what the team and I have already been working on, and to welcoming you all to the hotel in due course. Here’s to many happy Corinthia Moments,” she proclaimed.

Aside from the appointment, Corinthia Palace teases: "There will be lots of further announcements expected in the coming weeks!"
