Thomas joins the property with intimate knowledge of the Rosewood brand, having previously held the title of Managing Director of Rosewood Bangkok where he oversaw all aspects of the hotel that opened in 2019.

Thomas has a dual role at Rosewood Amsterdam, collaborating closely with the design and project services team during the construction and pre-opening phase of the hotel as Director of Project Services.

That is in addition to his duties as Managing Director, where he will play an integral part in the success of the property’s opening, positioning and ongoing operations.

Thomas has over 25 years of hospitality industry experience. Prior to his time at Rosewood Bangkok, Thomas’s career extended throughout the Park Hyatt brand where he held hotel General Manager and senior F&B management roles across properties in London, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Tokyo and Seoul.

“As a well-respected leader of the Rosewood Bangkok team, we are delighted to support Thomas’s transition into this dual role at Rosewood Amsterdam as we expand into an exciting new region for the brand,” said Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “Thomas’ extensive experience in the luxury hospitality sector is a true asset for the opening and management of this highly anticipated property.”

The Rosewood Amsterdam will be housed in the former Palace of Justice overlooking the Prinsengracht (the Prince’s Canal), one of the city’s most beautiful waterways, in the UNESCO World Heritage listed Amsterdam Canal District.

The 134-rooom property will feature three restaurants and bars, an art-filled lobby lounge, a well-being facility complete with a fitness center and indoor swimming pool, and multiple event and meeting spaces including a 3,000 square-foot ballroom.
