Sheraton Abu Dhabi appoints new general manager

The five-star Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort, by Starwood Hotels & Resorts, has appointed Martin Cramer as the new general manager.

Prior to his new role, Cramer held the position of general manager at the Sheraton Muscat Hotel in Oman.

The German-Argentinian national, born and raised in South America, originally joined Starwood Hotels & Resorts after graduating from his hotel management studies at the Sheraton Frankfurt, Germany.

After an assignment at the Sheraton Munich Hotel & Towers, he then moved to the Sheraton Abu Dhabi Resort & Towers as front office and director of sales & marketing.

Cramer continued his career as the general manager at Sheraton Hotels in South Africa and Oman before recently returning to the UAE.

“I am very excited to be back to the UAE, particularly in Abu Dhabi. Having spent many happy and important years of my life in the city, I am impressed by the development and the promising future of the emirate and I am looking forward to work in this dynamic environment, especially in this flagship hotel of Starwood Hotels & Resort which has always been close to my heart,” said Cramer.

Cramer will take over from former GM Thomas van Opstal, who has been in charge of the hotel since 2009.
