Mark Wachal will take over the reins at the Steigenberger Hotel Bremen with effect from 1 September. He will succeed Carlton Courtney, who will now head up the InterCityHotel Gelsenkirchen.
Having originally trained as a cook, Mr. Wachal can look back on more than 25 years of experience in the hotel business. Over recent years, he has held the position of General Manager at various hotel chains in Frankfurt and Stuttgart.
English-born Carlton Courtney is returning to the successful InterCityHotel brand after three years with Steigenberger. He was Director of the InterCityHotel Hamburg-Altona as long ago as 1999 and fulfilled the same role in Nuremberg between 2005 and 2013.
“We are looking forward to a smooth transition within the Steigenberger Hotel Group,” said Joachim Marusczyk, Managing Director of InterCityHotel GmbH. “Our expert management staff can be deployed in a flexible way, and we will soon be able to celebrate major successes in both Bremen and Gelsenkirchen.”
