InterContinental Abu Dhabi appoints Simon Stamper as General Manager

Mr. Simon Stamper has been appointed as the new General Manager of the InterContinental Abu Dhabi.

Stamper takes the helm at the prestigious property following a multi-million dollar project, which has seen the enhancement of the entire hotel from guest rooms, to dining venues, as well as a stunning new lobby and re-designed conferencing facilities.

Previously General Manager at the largest Holiday Inn in EMEA, the 906-room Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum, Stamper has almost 25 years of experience in hotel management, more than half of which has been with the InterContinental Hotels Group.

Commenting on Stamper’s appointment, John Bamsey, Chief Operating Officer, InterContinental Hotels Group, said, “We are delighted to welcome Simon as General Manager of InterContinental Abu Dhabi, located in one of the most rapidly developing tourist destinations in the world. He has extensive experience in hotel management and an established record of leading teams to deliver great results.”

Stamper added, “I am delighted to return to the newly reopened InterContinental Abu Dhabi, where just over 17 years ago I began my career with IHG. Both the city and IHG have evolved and grown extensively in that time and I look forward to the new challenges ahead.”

Stamper has held other General Manager positions at both Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn London Heathrow, as well as managerial roles at Athenaeum InterContinental Athens and Semiramis InterContinental Cairo.
