Hong Kong based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has appointed Lore Koenig as Director of Sales for the new Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai, due to open March 2003.
Ms Koenig will take up her new role in July 2002, initially in pre-opening offices before transferring to the property in Sheikh Zayed Road.

The complex is located near Dubai’s World Trade Centre and the commercial districts.
