Starhotels appoints one GM for The Franklin, The Gore and The Pelham

December 12, 2019

Starhotels has appointed Thomas James Orchard as General Manager of the Starhotels Collezione London Complex, comprising The Franklin, The Gore and The Pelham. Orchard has more than thirty years of luxury hospitality experience leading several hotel properties.

Orchard developed his London experience through his time at The Berkeley Hotel London and COMO Hotels and Resorts, which he joined in 2000. There he began his managerial development path: starting as General Manager at COMO The Halkin, he then moved to lead COMO Metropolitan London until 2005. He assumed the role of Regional General Manager until 2018, managing both properties and the COMO Metropolitan London Apartments.

He has most recently returned from the Caribbean where he was Managing Director and General Manager at Carlisle Bay, Antigua.

Antonio Ducceschi, Starhotels Collezione Cluster General Manager affirms: “We are delighted to have Thomas Orchard joining the Starhotels Collezione team. He is an enthusiastic professional that brings a great wealth of experience in luxury hospitality. Thomas fully shares our strong company values and we are confident that he will take great care of our customers, teams and partners”.
