Elbow Beach General Manager To Leave

November 2, 2011

Confirming speculation, Elbow Beach has confirmed that their General Manager Frank Stocek will be leaving his position, with the hotel saying he is “being transferred to one of our sister properties in Malaysia, the Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur.”

Mr. Stocek first joined Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group as a management trainee in 1983 and was appointed as Director of Food & Beverage of The Excelsior, Hong Kong in 1989 and then as Resident Manager in 1993.

Mr. Stocek was appointed as General Manager of Mandarin Oriental, Surabaya in 1995 and of Mandarin Oriental, Macau in 1997 until he took up the position of General Manager of Elbow Beach, Bermuda in July 2001.

A statement issued by Elbow said, “After over 10 years at Elbow Beach, Mr. Stocek is moving on to this new opportunity for his own growth and personal development. He will be missed, but this transfer proves how highly he is regarded within Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, which in turn reflects strongly on Elbow Beach.”

Mr. Stocek said, “Although I am excited to be moving on to take on the next step of my career at the helm of one of Mandarin Oriental’s flagship hotels in Asia, I am sad to leave Bermuda and the venerable Elbow Beach Resort. It has been home for my family and I over the past 10 years.”

“Our fantastic team of colleagues has been through many challenges, changes and improvements, and I know they will continue tirelessly towards the resort’s vision of success for the future. Elbow has always shown its best side when times are tough and I am absolutely certain that it will succeed and keep on delighting guests for another century to come.”

An announcement from Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, regarding Mr. Stocek’s successor will be made in due course.
