With more than two decades in international hospitality, Gaehler brings experience across Europe and Asia, shaped by a career that bridges culinary roots and hotel leadership. He built his early foundation in Switzerland’s fine dining scene before moving into senior operational roles, developing a hands-on approach and attention to detail that continue to define how he leads today.
He was also closely involved in the development of 25hours Hotel The Oddbird prior to its opening, leading the setup of operations, shaping the food and beverage direction including COPA Restaurant, and building the team that brought the hotel to life. His return now as General Manager brings both continuity and a deeper understanding of the property’s identity.
At 25hours Hotel The Oddbird, he will oversee all aspects of the hotel’s operations, from guest experience to programming across its spaces, including COPA Restaurant and Oddbird Bar, while continuing to guide the hotel’s direction as it moves into its next phase.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
