Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses appointed Hani Akkari as its new General Manager. Akkari brings over 15 years of experience in luxury hospitality and takes the reins of the prestigious Moroccan hotel following a successful career at the Chedi Katara Hotel & Resort in Doha.
With a solid international background, Akkari has worked with several high-profile properties within the Accor group. His experience includes managing the pre-opening of the Fairmont Doha and overseeing major events like the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Most recently, he led the Alwadi Hotel MGallery in Doha, driving the hotel to notable success from its opening.
“I’m excited to join Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses, an iconic property that reflects French luxury and elegance under the Sofitel brand,” Akkari said in a statement. “Sofitel is known for blending local culture with exceptional craftsmanship, and I look forward to continuing this tradition in one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.”
Sofitel Rabat also took the opportunity to thank its outgoing general manager, Hassan Bargach, for his 16 years of dedicated service. Bargach will continue his work with Accor as Deputy Director, overseeing the company’s luxury properties in Morocco under the Risma umbrella.
