Industry Advisors
Franklin Gorden is a Rooms Division professional with over 25 years of progressive experience across Front Office and Housekeeping operations within internationally recognised hotel brands. His career tells a compelling story of deliberate reinvention — having spent his first twelve years in Front Office management before making a purposeful transition into Housekeeping leadership, a path he has pursued with distinction for over fourteen years across some of Kuala Lumpur’s most prominent properties.
Starting out as a waiter in Kuching, Sarawak, Franklin made his way to Kuala Lumpur where he steadily built a career that would take him across flagship properties including Traders Hotel by Shangri-La, Hilton Kuala Lumpur, Berjaya Times Square, Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre, and PARKROYAL COLLECTION Kuala Lumpur — a journey that reflects both his ambition and his willingness to grow beyond the familiar.
As an Industry Advisor with Asianhotelier.Org, Franklin contributes deep operational expertise across the full rooms division spectrum — and a career story that demonstrates what consistent professionalism, adaptability, and commitment to craft can achieve over the course of a distinguished hospitality career.
