STARWOOD Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. announced the appointment of Benjamin Ye as the general manager of The St. Regis Shenzhen last week.

    Originally from Shanghai, Ye is a hotel professional with over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry and is well known for his strong management skills and leadership.

    In addition to his tenure at Starwood, Ye has worked in management positions at several leading international hotel chains such as Ritz Carlton and Shangri-La. He already held the general manager position at Sheraton Fuzhou Hotel, Sheraton Bandara Hotel Jakarta and Sheraton Changshu Hotel. Prior to joining The St. Regis Shenzhen, Ye was most recently the general manager of Sheraton Shenzhen Futian Hotel.

    Not a newcomer to the St. Regis brand, Ye worked for The St. Regis Shanghai (now known as The Hongta Hotel) from 2001 to 2005. “It’s my great honor to be back with St. Regis,” said Ye. “I am pleased to take my part and lead The St. Regis Shenzhen team in introducing the legendary and unique St. Regis experience to discerning travelers.”
