In Nigeria, he successfully launched Le Meridien Abuja as the opening general manager, and in Morocco, Servat helmed daily operations as general manager at Datalink S.A., and as the deputy general manager at Le Meridien Royal Mansour.
In his position as general manager at The Langford Hotel, Servat will play a key role in the daily decision making and strategy on behalf of the AAA Four-Diamond award-winning boutique hotel and will be responsible for revenue generation, guest and associate satisfaction as well as direct management of hotel and service quality.
“I am thrilled to be joining The Langford Hotel as its general manager and for the opportunity to grow and strengthen its reputation as downtown Miami’s first historic hotel,” said Servat. “The Langford Hotel has been the leader in the area, and I look forward to joining such a strong, dedicated and accomplished staff in planning for the future.”

He was awarded the “JAZ” by Steigenberger hospitality award in 2016 for Best Brand Marketing Operation, and the Gold Key Design Award for Best Lounge/Bar and Best Hotel Design in boutique categories. Throughout his career in hospitality, Servat is known to consistently achieve outstanding guest satisfaction, associate engagement and house profit, and looks forward to maintaining that streak at The Langford Hotel.
