- Capella Hotel Group appoints Lauren Tesch as regional director of sales, Australia and New Zealand
Capella Hotel Group has appointed Lauren Tesch to strengthen the Group’s presence within the luxury travel community.
Tesch was previously commercial director APAC at The Appointment Group, where she led commercial strategy and supplier relationships across Asia Pacific.
In her new role as regional director of sales Australia and New Zealand, Tesch will work closely with the Group’s portfolio properties, commercial teams and travel partners to strengthen the Group’s presence, deepen strategic trade relationships and identify new opportunities across Australia and New Zealand.
“With a growing presence in the region and an expanding network of luxury travel partnerships, Lauren’s appointment reflects an evolution of the Group’s regional sales structure, as it continues to invest in dedicated regional sales leadership to support its growing portfolio and increasing opportunities across Australia and New Zealand,” the Group said in a statement.
“It’s a move which reinforces the Group’s commitment to the region and to building lasting relationships with the travel community.”
The move comes as the Capella Hotel Group saw major recognition in The 50 Best Hotels 2026, with Capella Sydney named No. 16 in the global rankings and Thailand’s Capella Bangkok claiming the number two spot.
