Regent Hotels & Resorts has appointed Juan Losada as the general manager of Regent Phu Quoc which was recognised in Michelin’s Key List for 2025 as one of Vietnam’s finest hotels and dining destinations.
Bringing a vast catalogue of experience shaped by more than 15 years in luxury hospitality, Juan is a seasoned hotelier whose dedication is reflected in an unwavering commitment to service excellence. He is known for guiding diverse, multicultural teams, nurturing talent, and elevating guest experiences with authenticity and care.
Losada holds a Master of Business Administration from EHL Lausanne in Switzerland and a Bachelor of Arts in Hotel Management from the University of West London in the UK, grounding his leadership in both strategic expertise and a genuine commitment to exceptional service.
The appointment is a homecoming of sorts for Juan, who shared his industry nous as part of the opening executive team in the role of pre-opening and opening general manager for Regent Phu Quoc between early 2019 and late 2022.
During this former role, Losada was responsible for developing the hotel strategy, shaping the product, and positioning the resort as an ultra-luxury brand in the Vietnamese and Asian markets.
Leading up to its opening in 2022, Regent Phu Quoc was celebrated by leading global travel publications – including Forbes, Conde Nast Traveler, and Travel + Leisure – as one of the most anticipated luxury hotel debuts of the year.
Returning to Regent Phu Quoc as general manager, Losada brings extensive international experience in managing luxury hotels across destinations including Dubai and Barcelona. Properties under his leadership have consistently earned industry accolades, reflecting his commitment to excellence. He has also been personally recognised with multiple awards for his contributions to hotel performance and guest experience.
Among his notable career achievements was the organisation of the highly successful APEC 2017 summit, which welcomed 21 heads of state, including President Trump, President Xi, President Putin, and Madame Lagarde. This milestone underscores Juan’s exceptional capability in orchestrating complex, high-profile events with precision, discretion, and an unwavering commitment to elevated experiences.
Regent Phu Quoc warmly welcomes Juan back to guide the luxury property into its next phase of growth with his seasoned leadership and invaluable industry intuition. Through strengthening operational efficiencies, refining revenue-generating opportunities, and implementing innovative approaches to guest engagement and enjoyment, Juan will ensure Regent Phu Quoc continues to set the benchmark for unmatched high-end hospitality in the region.
