Christian Metzner has been appointed as General Manager at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove
Moving from one vibrant metropolis to the next, veteran hotelier Christian Metzner crosses the border from Malaysia to join W Singapore - Sentosa Cove as General Manager at the iconic 240-key urban escape, bringing with him close to three decades of luxury hospitality experience and a fresh strategic vision for the property.
The saying that "If you fall in love with a country and its people, that makes any country warm to you," could not be more true for Metzner, who is no stranger to Singapore, having frequented for both business and leisure, returning many times to explore places loved and recommended by locals.
Hailing from Germany, Metzner's career with Marriott International, Inc. began in 1996 at the Arabella Sheraton Complex South Germany in Munich, and since then he has held numerous positions within the company, including leadership roles in Beijing, Tianjin, Langkawi, and most recently in Malaysia as General Manager at W Kuala Lumpur.
With an extensive background in Sales, Marketing and Revenue management, Metzner has a clear understanding on the evolving luxury travel expectations and has been forging business strategies in competitive fields around the region. But to him, all is for naught without first taking on a people centric approach to things.
When he is not at W Singapore, Metzner enjoys spending time with family and friends, visiting new restaurants and bars, cycling, running, or winding down at home with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.
