About Larry Van Ooyen
LVO profile page
“Our entire approach is based on the guests’ perception of the experience, in all its aspects.”
Being an international hotelier and restaurateur with over 35 years of experience, my career has provided a much-cherished opportunity of traveling, working and living across the globe. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of being part of the inspiration and opening preparations of some of the world’s most iconic, financially successful, and highly acclaimed luxury hotels, resorts, and restaurants, including The Chedi Muscat and The Lalu Sun Moon Lake.
My dedication to applying a “guest’s experience” approach has been a cornerstone of my work, enabling the delivery of unforgettable guest journeys. This philosophy also led me to collaborate closely with the late Jaya Ibrahim on numerous projects, such as The Legian Bali and The Setai Miami. Over two decades, I developed a deep understanding of and alignment with Jaya Ibrahim’s design motivations and principles, where prioritizing the guest experience was always central.
As we worked together, I supported Jaya by providing technical and operational insights that complemented his visionary designs. We became each other’s sounding boards throughout the creative process, resulting in destinations that garnered global praise from clients, guests, and media alike. These projects left a legacy that continues to be celebrated and admired to this day.
