Mads Wolff

25hours Hotel Dubai One Central - recipient of Breakout Property of the Year during last week's Hotelier Middle East Awards - has named its new general manager. Mads Wolff steps into the role, a sneaker-loving chef-turned-hotel manager looking to bring the enormously successful hotel to even greater heights.

Wolff served as hotel manager of 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central since 2019, now in his first-ever general manager position. Part of the hotel's original launch team, he has been hailed as an integral part of the team and its triumphant opening. As GM, he will be "gearing up" the hotel for a new season.

His time as hotel manager of the One Central property in fact marked his first operational role. Before 2019, Wolff's career was solely dedicated to F&B and culinary. He previously served as director of restaurants and bars at Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown, also having a hand for the brand in Bali simultaneously; and worked as executive chef before that.

He has also held chef titles within W Hotels across numerous countries and spent time in independent kitchens across the likes of Japan and Denmark also.
