Shangri-La Singapore has announced the appointment of Yusuf Yaran as its new Resident Manager. With a career spanning more than two decades across various countries, Yaran is set to enhance the hotel’s operations with his extensive expertise in hotel management and food and beverage services. His previous role at Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa in Kota Kinabalu saw him lead a team of over 700 and introduce the acclaimed Green Fine Borneo Cuisine concept.
Yaran’s appointment comes as Shangri-La Singapore continues to uphold its reputation as a premier luxury destination. The hotel, the brand’s first globally, boasts 792 guestrooms and suites nestled within 15 acres of tropical gardens in Singapore’s heart. Yaran’s role will involve overseeing daily operations across the hotel’s dining concepts, banquet services, and its three distinctive wings: the Tower Wing, Garden Wing, and Valley Wing.
Having been part of the Shangri-La family since 2006, Yaran has held leadership roles in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Shanghai, Manila, and Singapore. His strategic leadership in marketing, budgeting, and guest satisfaction has consistently delivered strong business results. “It is a true honour to be in vibrant Singapore and to join the team at Shangri-La’s flagship property,” Yaran remarked. “Together with our dedicated team, we will continue to deliver meaningful, memorable stays.”
Yaran’s global perspective and guest-centric approach are expected to further solidify Shangri-La Singapore’s standing in the luxury hospitality sector, ensuring it remains a top choice for both leisure and business travellers.
