Radisson Blu Minneapolis Downtown announces the appointment of Mark Naber as Hotel Manager, effective immediately. With nearly 20 years of hospitality industry experience, Naber will oversee the guest experience at the hotel including overseeing the hotel’s operations, guest services department, and restaurant, FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar. With his appointment, Radisson Blu Minneapolis Downtown is poised to strengthen its presence in the Midwest as a must-visit hotel for both business and leisure travelers through excellent service and innovative, memorable experiences. Naber comes to the hotel from Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa, where he served first as Director of Food and Beverage then as Hotel Manager. While at Radisson Aruba, Naber implemented the Discover Program providing guests with daily, complimentary activities that focused on the wants and needs of the resort's energetic, experiential traveler. The Discover Program allowed guests the ability to choose what type of vacation they wanted to have on a daily basis and offered exercises for both the body and mind. Naber plans to implement something similar that speaks to the business and leisure travelers at Radisson Blu Minneapolis Downtown. Hailing from The Netherlands, Naber has long been part of the international hospitality industry. He graduated from the Amsterdam School for Hotel and Event Management in 1997 and immediately began work in the field. In 1999, he joined the Claus! Event Center (formerly Claus!

As event manager and eventually general manager, he oversaw parties and social functions from 50 to 4,000 people while simultaneously developing new themes, concepts, entertainment, and dining options. Naber lives with his wife and their two children. He is a mountain biker and kite surfer as well as a certified lifeguard.
