von Essen hotels has announced the appointment of Andrew Thomason as the new general manager for Hotel Verta.

Hotel Verta lands at The London Heliport in July 2010 and will be the first integrated hotel heliport solution in the world.

Part of the von Essen collection, Hotel Verta is the group's first London based property and the second hotel in the Metropolitan Set.

Thomason's role will encompass launching Hotel Verta to become London's premier destination of choice for business travellers, visitors and locals alike.

Thomason, currently general manager at von Essen's Lower Slaughter Manor, Relais & Chateau in Gloucestershire, will take up the new role in April. His previous positions include being resident manager at Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons in Oxford and overseeing the build and design of the Forbury Hotel in Reading which he then went on to run before leaving to join von Essen at Lower Slaughter Manor.

Nick Romano, chief executive officer of von Essen hotels, commented: "Having known Andrew for a number of years I am very confident that he is the perfect candidate for the new position. 

"His previous experience at Lower Slaughter Manor will stand him in good stead for his new role of general manager at Verta and with his wealth of experience in the hotel and hospitality industry and passion for excellent service will ensure that the Hotel Verta is on course to become one of London's leading hotel destinations."
