Kobanbay takes up a new role at Grand Hyatt Doha

Grand Hyatt Doha welcomes new top executive

DOHA, March 24, 2016

Grand Hyatt Doha Hotel & Villas has appointed Tufan Kobanbay as the property's new executive assistant manager.

A Turkish national, Kobanbay brings over 20 years of experience with 10 years in Hyatt. His comprehensive hospitality experience and his loyalty to the Hyatt brand makes him an ideal addition to the hotel’s executive team, the hotel said in a statement.

“I believe Hyatt represents one of the ultimate benchmarks of excellence in hospitality, and I could not have a finer company for continuing the career I loved and I wanted to pursue, especially here in Doha,” said Kobanbay.

“The brand assists us with high standards in its approach to taking care of our guests, in the consistent quality of our cuisine and service and in the welcome we offer.”

Kobanbay pursued an education in tourism and hotel management in Bilkent University in Turkey and then started his career with Grand Hyatt Istanbul in 2000 as a waiter and worked his way up the hospitality ladder with regular promotions. He later joined Hyatt Regency Almaty in Kazakhstan as director of food and beverage and then moved to Grand Hyatt Muscat, Oman, where he was promoted to executive assistant manager and worked closely with Grand Hyatt Doha’s current general manager, Christoph Franzen. Before joining Grand Hyatt Doha, he worked four years in Grand Hyatt Goa where he played a key role to increase overall guest satisfaction in the entire hotel.

Kobanbay will be responsible for planning, organising, and controlling the work of the food and beverage division, ensuring the smooth, efficient and up-to-standards running of the hotel’s facilities and food and beverage outlets, as well as maintaining high professional standards of quality and service. - TradeArabia News Service
