Beneyto joins the team after successfully launching COMO’s newest addition to the collection, COMO Uma Canggu in Bali.
Born in Madrid, Javier Beneyto began his career at the Arabella Sheraton Hotel in Palma de Mallorca, while studying hotel management at universities in Spain and Germany. Since graduating he has held managerial positions at hotels across the Caribbean, North America and Europe. At the beginning of 2009, Beneyto became the Hotel Manager of the award-winning Villa Magna Hotel – a five-star Grand Luxe member of Leading Hotels of the World.
Beneyto joined COMO Hotels and Resorts in 2012 as acting General Manager of COMO Cocoa Island in the Maldives before filling the same role in London at COMO The Halkin. He then moved to the United States as the opening General Manager of COMO’s Metropolitan Miami Beach, before relocating to Bali to head up COMO Uma Canggu’s launch.
“As a leader in a people’s industry I have a personal motto “Try to fulfil and create warmth around the people you have close; (clearly that includes our colleagues and guests), at the end of the day all the human beings desire to be noticed, recognised and want to feel a part of something greater.”
Javier’s extensive experience will be a great asset to the London team as the hotel launches an exciting new restaurant concept in September 2018. This will replace the infamous Met Bar, London’s first private member’s bar.
After a full refurbishment in 2015 COMO Metropolitan London evolved with a keen focus on the health and well-being of its guests. The addition of the new restaurant will further enhance the hotel’s position as a contemporary alternative on Park Lane. Under Javier’s leadership, the hotel will continue to provide guests with memorable experiences and COMO’s sought-after service.
