New GM joins Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi

Robert Clark has joined Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi as the new GM at the property.

The New Zealand national has 17 years of experience working with the IHG brand, and moved to the UAE in 2004.

Clark kick-started his hospitality career in New Zealand, working in the rooms division, and later moved into revenue management.

Here in the UAE, Clark spent six years working with IHG Dubai Festival City as director of revenue.

Clark’s roles in the region include a stint at the InterContinental Al Ain Resort from 2010, and at the InterContinental Doha the City as resident manager.

Commenting on his new appointment to the Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi, Clark said: “The UAE is one of the most dynamic and exciting hotel markets worldwide. I will be looking to leverage my commercial experience along with my local GCC knowledge to build on the significant success the hotel team has already achieved since opening.”
