Melissa Raffaelli has been promoted to Director of Sales at Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa

Melissa Raffaelli
Melissa joined the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa in 2002 as a Guest Services Agent in the Front Office, before transferring to the Spa Reception and eventually moving into Group and Events Sales. She subsequently held a number of positions in the hotel sales team, most recently as Assistant Director of Sales. Prior to this, Melissa worked to promote both the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa and Turnberry, the Luxury Collection Resort in Ayrshire, to the international conference and incentive market, as Account Director for Starwood Hotels & Resorts in Scotland. The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa was relaunched last year as part of the Sheraton brand’s multi-year revitalisation effort which has seen Sheraton and its owners invest more than USD $6 billion in Sheraton properties across the globe. This investment programme positions the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa as one of Edinburgh’s leading luxury hotels, creating exciting opportunities to promote the fully-renovated property, plus the wider destination, to existing clients as well as potential new contacts.
