Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour has announced it has hired Stefan Staltare as Director of Sales and Marketing, as the property approaches its first birthday anniversary in October. Tasked with building the hotel’s team across Sales, marketing and events, Staltare brings a breadth of expertise in new business development and partnerships.
Staltare has been with IHG Hotels & Resorts on and off since 2017. Most recently, he was Director Of Sales at The Holiday Inn Sydney Airport, seeing it through a multi million dollar refurbishment. Previously, Staltare has also held roles with Lancemore Group and Capital Hotel Group amongst positions with other Holiday Inn properties within the IHG portfolio.
“While a challenging time for the industry as a whole, I could not be more thrilled to have joined the Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour team. The last year has not been conducive for a hotel opening, however the team here have flourished, showing perseverance and innovation during a period of constant change. I am excited to help continue their success as we emerge from extended lockdown and restrictions,” said Staltare.
Staltare holds a Bachelor of Tourism Management with a major in Marketing from the University of Canberra.
Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour opened its doors in late 2020, and is located in the centre of Sydney’s CBD, close to everything the city has to offer and an ideal spot for a weekend escape or staycation, family outing or central hub from which to explore the city. Guests can also enjoy its exceptional options for drinks and dining, including La Bella Trattoria Restaurant and Bar, TWO 88 Bar & Kitchen and Café 58.
