Cattini possesses diplomas in hospitality management from the Hotel and Catering International Management Association and Como’s Hotel School of Catering, and has completed general manager programs from both Cornell University and Cranfield School of Management.
“We are delighted to promote Mirko to manage one of Rome’s most renowned hotels near the top of the Spanish Steps with its spectacular panorama and authentic Italian charm,” said Christopher Cowdray, chief executive officer of Dorchester Collection, in a press note. “Mirko has proven to be an impactful leader at The Dorchester and we know that his skills and expertise will further enhance the legendary Hotel Eden.”
