Fardon started his career as catering manager and then as   financial controller.  He has vast international experience to his credit. He has worked in England, Sweden, Bahrain, Nigeria, China, Singapore and Australia. From 1990 he has held positions of General Manager in branded 5-star hotels around the world.

The new manager was effusive in his praise of the new prime asset in the Moscow hospitality industry, calling it one of the most sophisticated on the market. “It has most sophisticated equipment, some of which are absolutely new in Russia,” Fardon said. “But the most important thing is that despite the hotel being a large hotel, it has great ambience. This is the most comfortable hotel I have worked at.”
