Nuno César de Sá joins Grantley Hall as general manager

Nuno César de Sá has been appointed general manager at Grantley Hall hotel in Ripon, Yorkshire.

He has 28 years' experience in the luxury hotel industry and joins from Rudding Park in Harrogate, where he held senior managerial roles for 15 years.

Grantley Hall said it was confident it would "continue its impressive journey to becoming an iconic British hotel under his lead".

César de Sá said: "I am honoured to become part of the Grantley Hall family. I have been fascinated by what has been achieved at Grantley Hall over the last six years. Now that I have been appointed as general manager, it is incredible that I will become an integral part of its future."

He replaces Andrew McPherson, who stepped down as general manager earlier this year after six years in the role.

McPherson was part of the team that oversaw the multimillion-pound redevelopment of the Grade II-listed country house before it opened as Grantley Hall hotel in spring 2019.

The five-AA-star hotel now features 47 bedrooms, three bars and five restaurants, including Michelin-starred Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall.
