A career rooted in the traditions of hospitality

From luxury city hotels to idyllic island retreats, his career includes notable roles at prestigious properties such as InterContinental Bora Bora, The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort, Hotel Icon Hong Kong, W Beijing Chang’an, Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort, COMO Point Yamu in Phuket, and COMO Maalifushi in the Maldives. 

In 2021, Durier took on his first general manager posting at COMO Cocoa Island in the Maldives, followed by a tenure at Nawa Bajo in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province in January of last year.
