The newly built InterContinental Auckland has announced that Ryan South will be General Manager upon its opening date in late 2023.
South has worked across Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand over his illustrious career spanning 22 years with IHG alone; he most recently worked as general manager of Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific in New South Wales.
“It’s exciting to be back in Auckland and take the helm of this landmark luxury hotel and give New Zealanders and international visitors to the City of Sails a taste of the InterContinental Life,” South said.
Over the coming months, South will work with development partners Precinct Properties, helping to mould the shared vision for Intercontinental Auckland. He will also recruit and lead the team who will be part of one of Auckland’s latest hotels. The hotel will be making the most of Auckland’s waterfront area, found in the heart of the modern commercial bay area.
The luxury hotel development in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, marks IHG’s second InterContinental hotel in the country.
