APPOINTMENT
Accor has announced the appointment of Evan Harrington as Cluster General Manager for Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island and Pullman Hotels and Resorts Al Marjan Island.
In this expanded role, Evan will oversee the operations of both properties, shaping commercial strategy, elevating guest experience, and accelerating cross-property synergies across operations, revenue, F&B, wellness, brand, and sustainability.
“Leading two distinctive brands in one destination is an incredible opportunity,” said Evan Harrington. “Our focus is simple: ensuring our guests enjoy memorable stays, empowering our Heartists to shine, and converting smart strategy into measurable results commercially, operationally, and sustainably so both resorts set the pace for Ras Al Khaimah.”
Jonathan Sheard, Senior Vice President Operations, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Middle East, Africa & Türkiye at Accor, added: “Al Marjan Island is emerging as one of the UAE’s most iconic destinations, and Accor is proud to be strengthening its position as the leading international operator here in partnership with RAK Hospitality. Mövenpick has established itself as a benchmark for Swiss-inspired hospitality that resonates with both families and leisure travellers, while Pullman is poised to reintroduce a refreshed experience for couples, explorers, and dining enthusiasts. With Evan’s exceptional leadership and his focus on both guest and Heartist experience, we are confident this cluster will set new standards for performance and elevate the destination’s global appeal.”
Harrington brings nearly two decades of global hospitality leadership experience across the Middle East and Africa, including general manager roles with Pullman, Hilton Garden Inn, DoubleTree by Hilton, and senior operations leadership with Radisson Collection, Fairmont, and Hilton.
