Marriott International has appointed a new General Manager to lead the launch of W Melbourne. The appointment comes at a time of great growth for the company, with 10 new hotels set to open in the next two years in Australia alone.

Damon joins the team at W Melbourne from Mauritius where he acted as Area Manager for the Indian Ocean region, managing four operating hotels and three hotels in the pre-opening stage across Mauritius, Seychelles and Madagascar. Damon's lengthy career with Marriott International has seen him hold numerous General Manager roles at various properties including W Hong Kong and W Maldives.

Returning to his hometown of Melbourne, Damon's experience working with the W brand will prove invaluable when W Melbourne opens in 2020. The hotel will mark the second W hotel in Australia, following W Brisbane's premiere in June 2018 and W Sydney's slated debut in 2020.
