Kshitiz ‘Eddy’ Bist appointed Operations Manager at Premier Inn Dubai Silicon Oasis

Dubai: Premier Inn MENA has appointed Kshitiz Bist as the new Operations Manager at Premier Inn Dubai Silicon Oasis.

Kshitiz – known as Eddy – brings more than a decade of experience to Premier Inn, having previously worked with Hyatt Hotels & Resorts and Radisson Hotels.

Eddy’s career began in his home country, India, where he studied Hotel Management at the Dr Ambedkar Institute of Hotel Management, Catering & Nutrition. After spending a year with Hyatt in Delhi, he moved to Dubai in 2014, working with Radisson – both at individual hotels and in the corporate team – for the last nine years.

“This new role is a particularly exciting opportunity as I’ll be working at one of Premier Inn’s joint-venture properties, rather than in a hotel management agreement capacity as per my previous positions,” he said. “Welcoming nearly 95,000 guests a year, Premier Inn Silicon Oasis is a much-loved hotel at the heart of one of Dubai’s most vibrant mixed-use communities. It’s great to join this ever-popular property and be part of Premier Inn’s continued Middle East success story.”

The 230-room hotel opened in 2009 as the second Premier Inn in the region. Today, there are 11 Premier Inn properties in the UAE
