A seasoned hotelier with over 25 years of experience in the luxury hospitality industry, and having successfully led the reopening of Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid in 2022 and the renovation of Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok in 2020, Mr Liddell began his career with Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group in 2009 as GM of the then Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi, Chiang Mai.

No stranger to Hong Kong, Liddell was also the GM of The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong back in 2012, where the property was awarded accolades including Conde Nast Traveler’s Gold List for three consecutive years during his tenure, and Forbes Five Star Ratings in Hotel, Restaurant and Spa.

An Australian, Liddell studied and worked in Sydney before embarking on a hospitality career in Asia. Prior to joining Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, he held various senior management positions including GM of Aman Resorts and group GM of Karma Resorts, where he was responsible for resorts in Bali, Indonesia and Koh Samui, Thailand.

“I am incredibly delighted to return to Asia, especially here at the flagship, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong and to be celebrating our milestone 60th Anniversary this year with all our loyal fans from around the world. I very much look forward to working closely with the team to further enhance our bespoke hotel experiences and legendary service from the heart and hearts of Hong Kong," said Liddell.
