So Amanda is leaving the Waldorf after five years, for what will no doubt be a well deserved break.
What a shame for Hilton - who must be ruing the day, given she's one of the few female gms - and a very high profile one at that - in London. She was surely a great advertisement for them and women in the industry.
Let us hope she sticks by her pledge to return to the sector after her break, or the industry will the poorer for it. How can this industry learn to get and then keep more women at the top?
