Skilled Brand Concept Creator

M Social Phuket, the stylish, social and free-spirited lifestyle hotel from Millennium Hotels & Resorts, has announced the appointment of Pjey Mayandi, the award-winning hotelier and skilled brand concept creator, as its General Manager. A fitness guru and former commissioned officer in the Singaporean armed forces, Pjey leads by example and guides his team with courage, skill and precision to create fresh and exciting experiences for every guest.

Pjey brings more than 18 years of expertise to this contemporary, design-led hotel, which opened its doors in late 2023. A Singaporean national, he spent several years inspiring his troops in the army before transferring his leadership skills to the hospitality sector, initially with Marriott’s luxury brands, where he was part of the dynamic team that managed the pre-opening of landmark Ritz-Carlton hotels in Hong Kong and Sanya, and the introduction of the exclusive EDITION concept to Istanbul.

Having joined Millennium Hotels & Resorts in 2014, Pjey played a pivotal role in the development and curation of M Social, the vibrant lifestyle brand, and was selected as GM of M Social Singapore, its inaugural global hotel. He went on to enjoy successful spells as GM of Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, M Hotel Singapore and Studio M Singapore, the first and only hotel in Asia with a fully loft-inspired room concept.

“I have been involved in the M Social project from the very beginning, when we were developing the brand with Millennium Hotels & Resorts in Singapore, so it is wonderful to see it come to life in Phuket – one of the world’s most dynamic resort destinations. This is an exciting new challenge and I look forward to working with our talented team to deliver original experiences that go beyond the everyday, spark our guests’ creative spirit and help every traveller to discover the best of Phuket and Patong Beach,” said Pjey.
