Karim Nielsen, CEO of Kolpin Hotels, announce the appointment of Karolina Lasionska as General Manager at Hotel Sanders. Karolina joined Sanders at the reception desk, just before Sanders celebrated their first anniversary in 2018 – making her one of the longest serving employees at the hotel. She moved through various roles from the Front Desk to Front of House Supervisor in 2019 and was then named Front Office Manager in 2020. In 2022 Karolina was appointed Director of Operations in which she has served in that role for over two years.

“This broad experience gave Karolina a deep understanding of what makes Sanders special: its people, culture and true dedication to exceptional service which only underscores her ability to serve in her new role as General Manager,” says Karim Nielsen.

“I am so proud to step into this new role and lead such an exceptional team. Sanders is not just a hotel. It is a place where every detail reflects the passion and dedication of an amazing team. Over the years, I’ve grown alongside this hotel, and it’s been a privilege to witness how we’ve made our guests feel at home in the heart of Copenhagen,” says Karolina Lasinska, the new General Manager.

“For me, Sanders is about more than luxury – it’s about warmth, authenticity, and creating moments that stay with our guests long after they leave. As General Manager, my focus will be on inspiring our team to keep delivering exceptional experiences while continuously elevating what we do best. My aim is to ensure that every guest feels not only welcome but genuinely cared for, continuing the tradition that makes Sanders so unique.”

Karolina Lasionska graduated from the University of Warsaw. This year, she attended the General Managers Program at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, an intensive executive education program designed for hospitality leaders. The program focused on strategic leadership, operational excellence, and innovation in the hospitality industry. It provides valuable insights and practical tools to enhance both guest experiences and team performance. “It was an incredible opportunity to learn from industry leaders and connect with people from all around the world,” says Karolina.
