Front Desk Supervisor

Marian's story began beneath the starry Cairo sky, surrounded by the love of her close-knit family and the echoes of laughter and stories. Despite the cherished memories of her childhood, America called to her. She decided to chase that elusive American Dream, arriving on the Atlantic shores at the age of twenty.

 

The first sight of the Statue of Liberty across the harbour, the life-changing joy of a pizza slice, and her many strolls through bohemian neighbourhoods marked Marian's early experiences in this vivid city. Embracing the freedom and culture of her new home, she felt the boundless possibilities that New York can offer.

 

From the historic streets of Cairo to the glittering New York City skyline, Marian's journey instilled in her the profound strength of savouring each moment. Now, as part of The Peninsula family, she takes great pride in curating fresh and unforgettable experiences for the hotel's guests. When you enter the hotel lobby, expect to be greeted by her genuine smiles and her infectious enthusiasm. With the insights that only a true New Yorker can provide, she will take you further into the history, cultures and hidden gems of her city.
