Patrick is the consummate General Manager, he walks, talks, lives and breathes all that is a luxury hotel and what it takes to create memorable and lasting experiences for his guests. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to work for him as he is an extremely passionate and knowledgable hotelier. Being very much guest, team and results focused I found it great to be able to work with him on projects as he has amazing attention to detail and creativity as well as tenacity to get it done. Not only can I recommend Patrick from my own experience but I can vouch for all his staff that worked under him. A truly great leader in luxury hotel operations!

Matt Coates (Executive Chef - Pre-opening at GHM Hotels )
“Patrick is a highly energetic and self-motivated individual. The passion and commitment which he attached to his work was evidenced by his ability to regain record profitability in an extremely competitive environment. Much of that success was clearly owed to his ability to interact and work well with associates and partners from different levels - be it from the corporate office or on property.”

Clement Koh, Vice President Sales and Marketing, General Hotel Management Ltd
“Patrick employed me at The Chedi Chiang Mai as the executive chef. From day 1 he displayed total dedication & perfection towards the hotel & the staff.
Nothing was too small & his door was open at all times.
Patrick leads from the front & his direction is very clear. He has the gift of being a great communicator
& coaches the entire team to exactly what he needs & expects for a 5 star luxury hotel.
He is very creative when it comes to ideas & thinks outside the box to achieve results.
I hope that 1 day I am privileged enough to be able to work under Patrick again as I had never worked with a General Manager of this standard & style.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Patrick while he was the Food and Beverage Manager at The Chedi Hotel in Muscat, Oman. Patrick is a great boss and a very hands-on manager. He knows exactly what he is doing and provides great support to his team, not only in terms of training and development but also in routine operations. He was always very approachable and focused whenever on the job. Given a chance, I would love to work with him again. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the Hospitality industry.”

“Patrick is a creative, self driven individual with whom I had the pleasure of working during the pre and post opening of Intercontinental Citystars Cairo. The opening of this iconic 800 room property with extensive Food and Beverage, Conference and Events was indeed very challenging. My job was made much easier by the presence of Patrick who held the position of Assistant Director of Food and Beverage leading a team in excess of 650.
I would gladly work with Patrick again given the opportunity and I am confident that he will achieve all his personal goals in the future.”

Asmaa Radwane, F&B Administrative Assistant, Park Hyatt
“I had a big pleasure working with Patrick during preopening phase of Park Hyatt Dubai. He was my director in Park Hyatt Dubai – the most beautiful opening property for that specific period in Dubai.
He collected F&B staff from 27 different countries one by one, starting from porters till Service Manager. He was the most respected among all management team.
To all of his team members – without asking ‘what’s in it for me’ – he always selflessly gave a willing hand; be it just sharing his knowledge, or volunteering to spearhead a project, or finding the right contacts! I wish Patrick continued success in whatever he chooses to do and look forward to meet with him in soonest time.”

"There has been plenty positive said about the Chedi Chiang Mai and it was the reviews on TripAdvisor that helped us to decide to stay there. They met all our expectations but it was when disaster struck that they really shined in my opinion.
We had stayed there September 26 to 29. It was on the 28th that flooding struck Chiang Mai, overwhelming the riverfront well into the night bazaar area. The Chedi facilities themselves were not flooded (we had a ground floor room on the side closest to Charoen Prathet and there was no evidence of flooding in the building) and was effectively an island with Charoen Prathet (up to Loi Khor Rd) and Sridonchai Rd (halfway to Chang Klan Rd, I think) completely flooded with waist deep water.
As we had been outside the city all day, we were unaware of the flooding in the city until we returned that evening. It was chaos in the surrounding night bazaar area as residents and tourists alike were trying to figure out how to get in and out of the area. We called the Chedi and they immediately sent out two staff in a 4x4 to retrieve us at the nearest safe location. We found out that the day shift staff themselves were trapped for the night as none of them could get their vehicles out of the flood zone.
The next morning we got a better look at how close the flooding came as the river was inches from overflowing the Chedi's river wall. We, along with a number of other guests were scheduled to check out and had flights that morning but none of our planned transfer vehicles could reach the hotel. The hotel had requested one of the larger industrial vehicles to help ferry us out of the flood zone but when it failed to arrive as requested (due likely to the high number of requests to evacuate), they managed to fit us all onto the 4x4 to get us out of the flood zone and to a waiting songthaew to get us the final stretch to the airport. We made our flight as planned even amongst the chaos.
Through this all, the Chedi staff maintained a high level of professionalism and courtesy even as nerves of guests began to fray. As one would have hoped, the gm Patrick Moukarzel was on hand himself to direct all the efforts. If not for the flood waters when one tried to leave, one could have almost not even have realized that there was a disaster all around. To me as a guest that is a fine mark of a very well run organization and facility. It is my hope that the lives and livelihood of the people in those affected areas can recover quickly as I feel the Chedi is an excellent place for a getaway."
