Mario Messina is The Victoria Hotel’s new Front Office Manager. Mr Messina’s responsibilities include the overseeing of operations for both the Victoria and the five-star hotel, The Palace, an urban, boutique hotel opening soon on High Street, Sliema. Mr Messina will also be responsible for the smooth running of this vital department, ensuring that the standard of this important service is always high and that the clients’ needs are settled to their satisfaction.

Claire Xuereb, The Victoria Hotel’s General Manager, said that Mario Messina has been appointed in line with the new structure which also includes the new hotel, The Palace. She said, “Mr Messina’s vast experience in the category of five-star hotel management makes him an ideal choice for the new structure which includes both The Victoria and The Palace Hotel which is expected to open its doors in June.
