As head of SO/ Paris since its opening in September 2022, Stefan Viard will continue to lead the hotel and its teams, but will also support the various General Managers of the European properties: SO/ Berlin, SO/ Vienna and SO/ St. Petersburg.

It is a pleasure to announce the appointment of Stefan Viard as Regional General Manager in Europe.

His background in the Middle East and Asia is a great asset to our group and we are delighted to expand our collaboration - Chadi Farhat, CO-CEO of Ennismore Group

It is a real pleasure to continue the adventure with the SO/ brand, which perfectly embodies the creative and sophisticated spirit of the hotel business carried by the Ennismore Group. I am more than delighted to be able to showcase the uniqueness of the establishments and teams who, every day, bring these unique addresses to life, the re.ets of tomorrow's hotel industry. - Stefan Viard
