Catching Up with Naveen Advani Rovester
Naveen Advani, hotel manager at Rove Downtown, and I sat down a while back and had a chat about the Rove Hotels and how he got into the business. Rove is an interesting brand because employees don't actually have titles and the management, more often than not, is working in the common spaces of the hotels, not in offices tucked in the back. Great tips when you are in Dubai and a really fun look at Rove Hotels. #rovehotels #tips #podcast #talk #dubai #hotel
