Skift Take

While Raffles is best-known for its classical hotels, the brand is fast-developing in the modern Middle East.

Luxury hospitality brand Raffles has a new operations vice president for the Middle East. Ayman Gharib, who was earlier the managing director of the brand's flagship hotel in Dubai, moves up to the role.

Raffles is a five-star flag within the Accor stable, known for its palatial properties and more traditional approach to luxury. The Middle East is home to numerous Raffles.
