Guillaume Gallas has taken the reins of the collective of creatives, disruptors, mavericks, and provocateurs who constitute the Mondrian Singapore Duxton family, with a mission to take the art-forward, community-focused lifestyle hotel to the next level.
Since its launch over a year ago, Mondrian Singapore Duxton has shaken up the Lion City’s perception of what a hotel should be, winning fans and breaking rules with a creative approach to hospitality, cuisine, design, nightlife, and art.
All of which presents exciting building blocks for the new General Manager.
Gallas has established himself as a multi-skilled and commercially savvy General Manager with over twenty years of experience across numerous destinations, including London, Tokyo, Dubai, Hong Kong, Macao, Beijing, and Sultanate of Oman.
Since arriving in Singapore, he has been captivated by the thriving, eclectic, and vibrant community of Duxton Hill. “This is my first time in Singapore as a General Manager, but I have visited the Lion City many times,” Gallas said. “I was familiar with the usual spots like Orchard Road and Marina Bay Sands.
However, after immersing myself in the Duxton Hill neighbourhood, I can say it’s been a revelation. There’s a genuine sense of community here, with beautiful heritage shophouses, eclectic shops, speakeasy bars, creative restaurants, tattoo parlours, and art galleries.
