Metzner has recently joined W Kuala Lumpur from The Andaman, A Luxury Collection, Langkawi, where he has been General Manager since 2014, and brings with him a wealth of experience having been part of the Marriott team for the past 15 years.
German-born Metzner’s Marriott career began in 1996 at the Arabella Sheraton Complex South Germany in Munich Germany, and he has since held numerous positions within the company across two continents, including leadership roles in Beijing, Tianjin, Langkawi and now in Kuala Lumpur. Opening hotels is not new to Christian; prior to his role in Kuala Lumpur, he was part of the pre-opening team at Westin Beijing Financial Street and Westin Tianjin in China.
“I am delighted and honoured to lead the opening crew for W Kuala Lumpur. We are going to inject so much energy into this city with our new hotel,” W Kuala Lumpur General Manager Christian Metzner said.
“We are bringing guests closer to the music, design, fashion and fuel (the brand’s take on fitness and healthy lifestyle) scenes in Kuala Lumpur while providing insider access to what’s new/next and our signature Whatever/Whenever® service, delivering whatever guests what they want, whenever they want it, in this incredible city.”
