“He’s worked his magic the world over and I am confident that The Algonquin, with its unique place in the hearts of visitors and the history of this region will benefit from his global perspective and hospitality know-how.”
"I’ve
always been attracted to hotels with great DNA and a strong sense of place and
the Algonquin is exactly that,” said Messian.
"It is a Canadian icon that everyone is
extremely proud of. Our job is to keep writing its story, to make its
history relevant today and tomorrow by doing what is unexpected; surprising
guests with extra touches that let them know they are appreciated.
