Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi has welcomed Robert Clark as its new general manager.

Robert has worked with IHG for 17 years, starting his career in his native New Zealand within rooms division and later moving into revenue management.

Robert moved to the UAE in 2004. The next 6 years were spent with the commercial team as Director of Revenue for the opening of the IHG Dubai Festival City properties.

In 2010 he took up an operational post at the InterContinental Al Ain Resort. Following a short break from IHG, Robert rejoined the group as Resident Manager of InterContinental Doha the City.

With his strong commercial background and recent operational experience, Robert has been ideally placed to take on his first general manager post in one of the brands defining Holiday Inn’s.

Robert is married with 2 sons and enjoys spending quality time with his family. His hobbies include photography and rugby.

Robert said “The UAE is one of the most dynamic and exciting hotel markets worldwide. I will be looking to leverage my commercial experience along with my local GCC knowledge to build on the significant success the hotel team has already achieved since opening.”
