Great Scotland Yard Hotel, part of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt, has appointed Mario Flanagan as its new general manager.

In 2007, he joined Hyatt Regency in Johannesburg as the director of Rooms, and in 2008 was promoted to executive assistant manager.
Following this role, he moved to the UK and took the position of hotel manager in the Hyatt Regency London, The Churchill.
In 2013, he was promoted to general manager at Hyatt Regency Birmingham, where he piloted a £6m hotel refurbishment in 2014, which eventually led Hyatt to win BID’s ‘Best Hotel in Birmingham’ for 2015.
