​The Art of
Hospitality whispering

Belgium born, raised in a multi-cultural environment, trilingual Veronique is passionate about travel and discovering new cultures.

Holds a Bachelor’s degree in economics, Master’s degree in art history and archaeology with postgraduate studies in Literature & Pre-Hispanic cultures. After working four years as an archaeologist in the sites of the Mayan World, Veronique’s first exposure with luxury hotels was as Training Manager at the Hyatt Regency in Merida Yucatan.

In 1998, she was hired by GHM Hotels & Resorts, a sister company of Amanresorts, to direct the restoration project and opening of a historical hacienda in Mexico. Veronique was part of creating a total new hotel concept which offered an integrated unique guest experience. It received the “Best New Hotel Worldwide” award from Conde Nast Traveller.

During her seven years at Hacienda San José, Veronique actively participated in the neighboring community programs run by the Foundation of the Haciendas. For achieving the arrival of a new prosperity to the region, the foundation received the “Tourism for Tomorrow” award from the World Travel & Tourism Council in 2005.

When Starwood Luxury Collection took over The Haciendas from GHM in 2001, Veronique was appointed Regional Quality Manager, ensuring implementation of the innovative guest experience standards of operations across all properties through structured training programs.

Her career then brought her to Spain where she was in charge of another exceptional

restoration project and hotel opening by the Hospes Hotel Group, The Palacio de Bailio in Cordoba. The property was not only a destination in itself, as it was a hotel inside a museum, it promoted a unique experience alongside the rich culture and interesting sights of its destination Cordoba.  It was recognized by the city as a factor for the growth of visitors to its city.  Under her eight years of management, Veronique was runner up for the category of “Best General Manager” in the 2009 prestigious Hospitality Awards held in Paris.

Veronique was further part of the acquisition process by Hospes of the Hotel Lancaster, Paris, (including “La Table du Lancaster” in collaboration with Michel Troigros- 3 Michelin stars) and led the smooth transition and implementation of Hospes Hotels standards and procedures.

In 2015, Hospes asked Veronique to take over the management of its flagship property the Hospes Maricel & Spa Mallorca. For three years Véronique successfully managed the small palace that is one of Mallorca’s most iconic hotels and has a 500 m2 Spa operated under the brand “Cinq Mondes.” Under Veronique’s helm, the palazzo, dating from the 19th century, underwent an important restoration by the renowned architect Tomas Alia, bringing back the elegance that always has surrounded the Maricel.

Through her senior management positions in different countries and settings, Veronique achieved to make every property she managed into a financially successful enterprise of international recognition.  A dedicated and passionate hotelier, she excels at developing projects with a vision for the future by using her great sense of style, eye for detail and her keen business skills.

Marieke, a seasoned, multilingual hospitality expert with over 25years experience in the luxury and innovative hotel industry, has assumed top management roles in renowned hotel groups such as Amanresorts, GHM Hotels & Resorts and Design Hotels. 

General Manager from age 31, she has obtained extensive international experience having worked at some of the world’s most reputed properties and projects in a wide variety of locations from cosmopolitan cities to remote islands in Switzerland, Spain, The Netherlands, Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, Peru and Morocco.

Business minded and a skilled sales and marketing strategist, Marieke positioned or repositioned the majority of the properties and projects under her responsibility and worked closely with key players of the international luxury travel industry.

Working with visionaries Adrian Zecha (founder of Amanresorts) and Claus Sendlinger (Founder of Design Hotels) exposed her to new hospitality concepts and management styles such as the“Aman Philosophy” which is all about creating the ultimate guest experience made possible by ultra-dedicated staff who provide unparalleled personalized service. At Design Hotels, she became familiar with their innovative marketing of new concepts such as the “Made by Originals” campaign that embraces a human-centric concept emphasizing the people behind the hotels.   

Through her working periods at the remote island resort Amanpulo, the Haciendas in the Yucatan and Cuixmala, the 30,000acre private natural reserve founded by the late Sir James Goldsmith, she participated in nature preservation and local community projects. In the Yucatan, Marieke founded “Manos Mayas,” a self-sufficient small company that created a means of income for handicapped artisans by producing and promoting new designs handmade by the artisans.   

Marieke, Dutch born, is a graduate of EHL, the Hotel School of Lausanne, Switzerland and the Cordon Blue Cooking School, Paris.    

The wealth of experience and Marieke’s passion for genuine guest service integrated into any form of hospitality that embraces original and personalized concepts led to the formation of the partnership Td Hoteliers.
