Citymax RAK appoints Nidal Saloum as hotel manager

Citymax Hotels, the Landmark Group’s award-winning mid-market hotel brand, has appointed Nidal Saloum as hotel manager of its flagship 204-room property in Ras Al Khaimah. Saloum will also manage operations at two Citymax properties located in Aswan, Egypt.

Speaking about his new role, he said: “Strengthening the visibility, reputation and market reach of Citymax within Ras Al Khaimah and beyond remains a top priority.  Moreover, the team and I will work together on various soft touches that will ultimately improve the guest experience journey and create not only long-lasting impressions but also ensure loyalty and repeat business, which is our hallmark.”

A well-rounded hospitality professional, with 15 years of experience at some of the region’s most highly regarded hotel brands, Saloum is looking forward to leading the property, which has successfully established a niche in the busy and vibrant East Coast hospitality space. 

A healthy rate of occupancy and participation in unique initiatives, like Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority’s RAKation summer campaign, put the hotel in a strong position. Indeed, Saloum expects it to be a landmark summer for Citymax Ras Al Khaimah.
