At least René Beauchamp in the few times I met with him always seemed to have an understanding of chemical-free, which might help Jumeirah get back on the right track. What I didn’t know however was that his passion for Spas was so big he would take on a SVP leadership role for this department.. always thought he was more of an operational hotelier.
Rene discovered chemical-free when he was GM at FS Terre Blanche and is indeed a fan, but like you, I wonder about an SVP role. There again, Four Seasons tend to promote GMs to head of spas, when they know little or nothing about them. Chris Norton and Simon Casson were the exceptions.
