ANNAM LUBANA TAKES THE HELM AT ROSWYN, A MORGANS ORIGINALS HOTEL AS HOTEL MANAGER
/Setting the leadership foundation for Ennismore’s Morgans Originals India debut.
MUMBAI, March 2026 – Roswyn, a luxury lifestyle hotel under Ennismore’s Morgans Originals collection, announces the appointment of Annam Lubana as Hotel Manager ahead of its Mumbai debut. With over a decade of leadership experience across leading luxury hospitality brands in India, Annam brings strong operational expertise, commercial insight, and a structured, guest-focused approach as Roswyn prepares for its next chapter in the city. Her appointment marks an important leadership moment for the hotel — shaped by clarity, composure, and a distinctly contemporary perspective.
Reflecting on her career in hospitality, Annam describes it as, “A journey driven by decisive leadership, accountability, and the pursuit of exceptional guest experiences.”
A graduate of the Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development and the Institute of Hotel Management, Mumbai, Annam’s early professional formation instilled in her a deep respect for structure, service ethos, and leadership accountability — principles that continue to guide her decisions today. As a guest services management associate, she was awarded the T.R. Oberoi Gold Medal in academic excellence, reflecting her early commitment to operational rigor.
She progressed through senior leadership roles within Marriott International, leading complex luxury operations across multiple markets. As Director of Operations at JW Marriott Goa and Director of Rooms at JW Marriott Pune, she oversaw large teams and commercial performance while sharpening her strategic mindset. This phase, she notes, was defining — shaping her commercial acumen and strengthening her ability to lead large, multidisciplinary teams with clarity and confidence. In 2023, she was recognized as Operations Leader of the Year, reinforcing her belief that strong leadership, empowered teams, and disciplined execution drive sustainable success.
Annam defines herself as “a decisive yet empathetic leader.” She believes strong results are built on trust, clarity, and accountability. “I lead with intent, hold myself and others accountable, and focus on outcomes that are both human and measurable,” she says. Intuitive and detail-driven, she places high value on relationships, thoughtful decision-making, and building cultures rooted in trust.
“Annam’s appointment comes at an important moment as we begin shaping Roswyn from the inside out — starting with the team and the culture that will define it. She brings strong operational discipline and a natural instinct for building teams that move with clarity, trust, and momentum. As we introduce Morgans Originals to India, Annam will play a key role in establishing Roswyn’s distinctive voice in the city — creating a hotel that is as much about people, personality, and energy as it is about design,” says Rajiv Kapoor, General Manager, Fairmont Mumbai and Roswyn, A Morgans Originals Hotel
In her new role, Annam’s goal is clear: to establish Roswyn as a lifestyle destination known for character, consistency, and connection. She is focused on building a strong service culture ahead of launch, developing future leaders, and creating guest experiences that feel effortless yet intentional. She acknowledges that the challenge lies in exceeding the expectations of an exceptionally sophisticated, experience-led guest — and sees innovation in rethinking traditional service structures through agile teams, intuitive guest journeys, and experiences that feel personal rather than prescribed.
As part of the Morgans Originals collection, Roswyn brings a design-led and culturally attuned perspective to Mumbai. Annam believes the hotel’s edge lies in its individuality and creative expression — offering something increasingly rare: a property with character, confidence, and a clear point of view. “Distinctiveness elevates a stay into a story,” she notes.
Annam views her journey in hospitality as both empowering and affirming. She believes leadership today is defined by emotional intelligence, adaptability, and people-centric thinking — qualities that shape strong teams and meaningful guest experiences. Her approach reflects a future-forward model of leadership that is inclusive, merit-driven, and shaped by diverse perspectives at the table.
Grounded yet forward-thinking, her leadership brings strength with nuance — and positions Roswyn not just to operate, but to lead.
