New GM joins Voco St David's

Voco St David’s, a Cardiff-based hotel and spa, has announced the appointment of Konstantin Grimm as its new general manager (GM).

Born and raised in Berlin, Grimm has worked in hospitality management roles across Europe. He joins the venue from his most recent position as hotel manager of Kimpton Clocktower. The position will see him oversee all operations and day-to-day runnings of the Welsh hotel.

With a hospitality career spanning more than 16 years, including roles with Conrad and Hilton Hotels, Grimm has lots of experience managing large hotels, holding a strong focus on developing and growing a people-focused culture.

Of his appointment, Grimm says: "I'm absolutely delighted to be at the helm of the prestigious Voco St David’s, Cardiff, which has held the top position in Cardiff since its inception. My utmost goal is to maintain our leadership in the luxury lifestyle hotel market, not only in Cardiff but nationally.

"I’m focused on establishing meaningful connections with local brands and individuals, as I strongly believe a hotel holds a unique and important position within the local community. I’ve been given a very warm Welsh welcome by the team and am very much looking forward to continuing to build on the success of my predecessor, Mark Gallagher."

Grimm joins the 142-room property just as the spa reopens following a £300k rejuvenation project. This follows the refurbishment of the hotel bar and restaurant Tir a Môr, which has very recently opened its new terrace.
