We are delighted to spotlight an exceptional culinary leader whose career reflects vision, discipline, and true mastery of the craft.
Khalid Musa’s journey in hospitality is a story of consistency, excellence, and leadership at the highest level. From his early foundations at InterContinental Hotels & Resorts and Villa D’Angelo to shaping global dining experiences with Hard Rock Cafe and Regency Hotels, Khalid built a strong operational and culinary base that would define his future success.
His leadership expanded across the Middle East with Support Commercial Catering, Al Dafra Tourist Village and Catering, and ARC (Al Rahmaniah Food Meals Catering LLC), where he mastered high-volume production, large-scale catering, and complex multi-kitchen operations while maintaining strict quality and food safety standards.
Khalid’s impact continued with Marka Holding, Ward Restaurant, and Ward Complex Restaurant, where he led luxury dining concepts, multi-outlet operations, and multiple pre-openings, building teams, setting standards, and delivering consistent five-star guest experiences. At Harat Al Sham Restaurant, he further demonstrated his ability to manage diverse culinary concepts while executing large-scale events with precision and creativity.
Today, as Executive Chef at Narcissus The Royal Hotel & Narcissus Resort, Khalid Musa brings together decades of international experience, refined leadership, and culinary innovation. His portfolio includes serving as a private chef for the Royal Jordanian Palaces, Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan in the UAE, and Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Al Thani in Qatar, a testament to the trust placed in his expertise at the highest level. His recognition as Best Executive Chef at JOSPEX and his appearances on regional television further reflect his influence and credibility within the industry.
What truly defines Khalid is not only the scale of his achievements, but the way he builds teams, mentors talent, and creates systems that allow excellence to be sustained long after the event ends. His story is a powerful example of how leadership, structure, and passion come together to create lasting impact in hospitality.
At Hospitality Web, we are proud to share stories of leaders who shape the industry through dedication, integrity, and excellence. Thank you, Chef Khalid Musa, for inspiring the next generation of hospitality professionals.

We are delighted to spotlight Bassam Abu Hassan, General Manager at The Abdali Boulevard Hotel by IHG in Amman, Jordan, a hospitality leader whose career reflects consistency, operational excellence, and a deep understanding of guest experience across the Middle East.
Bassam’s journey with IHG spans multiple brands and markets, where he has built a strong reputation for leading complex operations with clarity, discipline, and heart. Today, he leads The Abdali Boulevard Hotel by IHG, shaping it into a refined urban destination that balances commercial performance with a strong service culture.
Before this role, Bassam served as Hotel Manager at Crowne Plaza Duqm in the Sultanate of Oman, where he played a key role in strengthening the hotel’s operational foundations in a developing destination. Prior to that, he held the position of Hotel Manager at InterContinental Hotels & Resorts in Jordan, further reinforcing his expertise in managing luxury hospitality environments with high service expectations.
His leadership journey also includes leading Holiday Inn Resort Dead Sea as Hotel Manager, and earlier executive leadership roles as Executive Assistant Manager with both Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts and InterContinental Hotels & Resorts. His roots in hospitality leadership are strongly grounded in operations, having started in senior operational roles such as Director of Food and Beverage with InterContinental Hotels Group, where he oversaw extensive dining and banquet operations and developed a strong commercial and guest-focused mindset.
What defines Bassam’s leadership is his ability to combine operational precision with people leadership. He brings structure without rigidity, standards without stiffness, and ambition without losing sight of culture and teamwork. His experience across food and beverage, rooms, commercial strategy, and full hotel operations gives him a rare 360-degree perspective that benefits both his teams and his guests.
At Hospitality Web, we admire leaders like Bassam who grow within brands, invest in people, and consistently elevate the quality of hospitality wherever they go.
Thank you, Bassam, for being a true example of leadership through service, and for continuing to shape meaningful hospitality experiences in the region.
