Pan Pacific Hotels Group has appointed industry veteran Jean-Philippe Jacopin as general manager of Parkroyal Collection Pickering.
Jacopin hails from a family of hoteliers, and his thirty-year career has seen him hold senior management positions for some of the world’s leading hospitality brands in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
A 22-year stint with Hilton International took the French national from the UK and Ireland to Japan, South Korea and China before joining Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in Xi’An.
Jacopin went on to manage The Pavilions Hotel Resorts in Thailand for two years and, most recently, was general manager of Orchard Hotel Singapore.
