Therefore, he went on to JW Marriott Marquis, where he opened on of the finest rooftop bars that’s still thriving with amazing views over the Dubai Skyline. After turning the restaurants and bars around at this location, a new step followed by moving to Doha, Qatar for a chance in scenery at the W hotel. Tim could let his creativity flow wild and free here, and he created interactive, insane concepts which are still in place until this very day.

A new opportunity brought him back to Dubai where he is successfully implementing new bar and restaurant formula’s at IHG, and became the number 1 brunch location in Dubai within 9 months of opening a new hotel!
