Christian Acker Coming from the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square, Seoul, Christian is more than delighted to cross off one of the thing he has on his bucket list: #7. Working and living in Bali. And better yet, for a Marriott International property; The Stones. The island’s magical culture, its people, the magnificent landscape and the rapid growth of food and hotel business are some of the many reasons of his excitement. Born in Detmold-Germany, Christian set his foot firstly in Asia in 2006 when he joined Four Seasons Maldives’ Island Explorer. After Maldives, the non-settler moved back to city life and worked for the Four Seasons Hotel Singapore. He then tried betting his luck in MGM Casinos Macau and was responsible for its Food & Beverage outlets. Proving he acclaimed success and hit the jackpot in Macau, he moved to Vietnam as Food & Beverage Manager at The Nam Hai Resort, a GHM Hotel. Korea was his next big break as he took part as the opening team of the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul, managing the Food and Beverage division.
