Hilton has appointed a new director to lead its North Island sales team across its entire portfolio in the region.
New Zealand North Island, Hilton has appointed Sebastien Delteil as the new Cluster Director of Sales to oversee all sales operations and strategies for its three properties: Hilton Auckland, Hilton Lake Taupo, and DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka.
With a distinguished career spanning 16 years in the hospitality and tourism industry, Delteil has brought a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to the role.
As a Frenchman born in the United Kingdom, Delteil’s passion for hospitality was ignited early, growing up with a father who was a Michelin-star chef in London.
Living above the restaurant where his father worked, he was immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality from a young age. This early exposure instilled in him a love for diverse cultures and a commitment to excellence in service.
A notable highlight for Delteil has been sharing his journey and successes in the hospitality industry with his father, coming full circle from his childhood experiences.
His professional journey began at the prestigious Four Seasons in Dubai, laying the foundation for his future success in France before he relocated to New Zealand in 2012.
With various leadership roles within the hospitality and travel sector in Four Seasons and IHG in Dubai, he demonstrated sales understanding and a commitment to excellence.
Before joining Hilton Auckland, he held a key position at Park Hyatt Auckland, where he led the sales team to achieve significant growth.
Delteil is also an avid golfer, though he has taken a break from the sport to enjoy with his daughter, balancing professional excellence with personal fulfilment.
New Zealand North Island, Hilton looks forward to the innovative leadership and positive energy he will bring to the team.
