Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has appointed Mehrnavaz Avari its new UK area director and general manager of its Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences and St James Court hotel in London.

Avari was previously deputy general manager of IHCL's Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, having also held leadership positions at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur and Taj Palace in New Delhi.

We look forward to taking ahead the legacy of Tajness and welcoming guests at our legendary hotels in the heart of the city."
