Braye Beach Hotel has a new husband and wife team at the helm.
Scott and Katey McDonald (pictured together) have taken over the management of the award-winning hotel, having previously worked together at the AA Four Red Star L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa, a Hand Picked Hotel in St Brelade, Jersey and more recently at Thainstone House Hotel, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Scott is a hospitality professional with 25 years’ experience across a broad range of 4 and 5-star properties. His career to date has been built upon a passion for food and beverage, hotel management, team building and leadership.
Katey is a seasoned sales manager with a range of experience across country house hotels, city centre and international resorts. Her career highlights include delivering memorable events for both her team and guests.
Simon Miller Regional General Manager, Channel Islands said: “We’re really excited to welcome Scott and Katey back to the Channel Islands. They have a wealth of experience in hospitality, bringing with them a combination of talents in team management, guest experience and customer service and I believe they’ll be the perfect team at Braye Beach.”
Commenting on their plans, Scott said: “We are thrilled to return to Hand Picked Hotels in the Channel Islands. Alderney is a beautiful place to visit, its slower pace of life makes it the perfect escape from the pressures of the 21st century and to re-charge and energise.
“Our aim is to create a relaxed, discreet and professional vibe and we look forward to welcoming new and returning guests. In time we hope Braye Beach will become the leading coastal boutique hotel in the Channel Islands.”
