The brand new boutique hotel in St Tropez -AREV St Tropez – is delighted to announce the appointment of Candice Barwell Nassar as General Manager. Candice joins AREV St Tropez with over 30 years experience in luxury hospitality, having started her career aged just 17.
Most recently, Candice held the position of Director of Operations at Hotel du Palais Biarritz (Unbound collection by Hyatt), where she expertly oversaw the daily operations of the hotel including front desk, housekeeping, reservations, and guest services, ensuring seamless coordination and delivery of high-end hospitality. She has previously held positions as Director of Sales and Marketing and Executive Manager at Shangri-La Villingili, Maldives, as well as roles at Société des Bains de Mer in Monaco, Rosewood Abu Dhabi and The Ritz, London.
With her extensive background, Candice will seek to position AREV St Tropez as a leader within the region’s luxury market, driving both awareness and revenue growth for the collection’s debut property. Officially opened in March this year, the boutique hotel is one of the handful properties open all year-round in St Tropez, dispelling the rule that the Riviera is only for the summer. Situated a short five minute walk from the heart of St Tropez village, AREV is a discreet oasis, set amongst immaculate and fragrant gardens, where guests are met with thoughtful and stylish details as soon as they enter the property.
