Stirling’s Hotel Colessio has appointed Kevin Keenan as its new general manager.

Keenan said: “to have the opportunity to work with the teams at Focus Hotels Management and Hotel Colessio is really exciting. The hotel occupies a unique position within the city, and I’m looking forward to working with my new team and welcoming our guests moving forward.”
Lynn Hood, Focus Hotels Management’s COO, added: “Kevin joins us with a wealth of experience having worked in some of the country’s finest individual properties.
“Kevin will focus on forging links with the business community and playing a key part in Stirling’s recent focus to become an economic and cultural powerhouse.”
