Charles-Henri Chevet named General Manager at Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra
Charles-Henri Chevet, a seasoned Sofitel hand whose 16-year career includes a ten-year run in Asia, takes over as general manager of the new Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra this month. His appointment follows the departure of Didier Lamoot, who is moving on to manage Sofitel's property on Bora Bora. Like Lamoot, Chevet cut his teeth in Cambodia at the Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort in Siem Reap. Prior to his work in Cambodia, Chevet spent two and a half years in China, where he served as hotel manager at Sofitel properties in both Shanghai and Beijing. For nearly four years, he was resident manager at the Sofitel Metropole Hanoi, now the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. Travel + Leisure, the world's highest circulating travel magazine, called out that hotel this month as one of the top 3 City Hotels in Asia. Chevet hails from Rennes in France and graduated with a degree in accounting from the French business school, ESSCA.
