Over the summer, Hotel d’Angleterre has welcomed a new leader.
João Prista von Bonhorst has joined the iconic Copenhagen hotel as its new General Manager and CEO, succeeding Lucas Johansson, who has led the property since 2013.
Prista von Bonhorst arrives in Copenhagen with an extensive international career in luxury hospitality. Most recently, he spent six years at Tivoli Hotels & Resorts in Lisbon, where he served as Hotel Manager and General Manager of the historic Tivoli Avenida Liberdade.
Prior to that, he led Lisbon’s renowned Bairro Alto Hotel. His career has also taken him to some of Europe’s most prestigious hotels, including Hôtel Beau-Rivage in Geneva, Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon, The Bentley Kempinski in London and the iconic Hôtel de Crillon in Paris.
Jeg synes især “arrives in Copenhagen with an extensive international career in luxury hospitality” fungerer godt – det lyder mere editorial end den klassiske pressemeddelelsesformulering.
An iconic Copenhagen hotel
As noted earlier, Prista von Bonhorst succeeds Lucas Johansson, who has been a central figure in Hotel d’Angleterre’s recent history.
Johansson led the hotel from 2013 and has now moved on to become CEO of IHA Management, an international hotel management company that counts Hotel d’Angleterre among its clients.
With a history dating back to 1755, Hotel d’Angleterre is one of Copenhagen’s most iconic hotels. The five-star property on Kongens Nytorv has 92 rooms, including 55 suites, as well as the Michelin-starred restaurant Marchal.
The hotel is also a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and has long been an internationally recognised name in luxury hospitality.
Owned by the Remmen family
Hotel d’Angleterre is owned by the Remmen family through The Remmen Foundation Property AB, which has held 100 per cent of the hotel company since 2014.
The family’s ties to the hotel, however, go back much further. The Remmens first acquired d’Angleterre in 1993, with the ambition of restoring it to its place among the world’s leading luxury hotels.
Following a brief change of ownership, the family bought the hotel back in the 2010s.
Today, Mette Remmen Kristiansen serves as Chair of the Board, alongside her mother, Else Marie Muderspack Remmen, who is also a board member.
