W Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 brands, has announced the appointment of Titus Rosier as the new General Manager of W Sydney. Titus has spent the last decade in leadership roles at key Marriott International properties and is excited to take the helm of Sydney’s striking new luxury hotel in its post-launch phase.
“W has always stood out from other brands,” said Titus Rosier. “That’s why I am honoured to step into my new role as General Manager of W Sydney, working alongside a dynamic team of talent to continue delivering exceptional Whatever/Whenever moments for guests. Channelling the vivid energy of the Harbour City, W Sydney has a unique charisma and spirit, and I can’t wait to be a part of creating its next chapter.”
Rising above the roadways to hug vibrant Darling Harbour, W Sydney opened its doors to the public in October 2023. It is the brand’s third hotel in Australia and has brought a beacon of bold design to the city’s harbour waterfront. Joining a team of 500+ talent, Titus will be responsible for directing the hotel’s day-to-day operations and will play a vital role in managing the operating strategy and performance of the hotel.
Titus began his professional career in the Middle East where he held key commercial positions including Director of Sales at Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort, and Complex Director of Sales at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort and The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort & Spa. In 2019, Titus moved to Indonesia as General Manager of The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali, overseeing its opening, before moving to his most recent role as General Manager of the legendary W Bali-Seminyak.
An experienced passionate hotelier, Titus has received numerous accolades from his tenure at Marriott International including Hotel Opening of the Year in 2020, the General Manager Award for Spirit to Serve our Communities in 2021 and most recently, 2023’s Stephen Garff Marriott Award of Excellence for Culture.
Shared Sean Hunt, Marriott International’s Area Vice President, Australia, New Zealand & Pacific, “The recent opening of W Sydney, our third W property in Australia, signalled a new era for the brand. With a fresh take on luxury, W Sydney has shaken up Sydney’s hotel scene and we are excited to welcome Titus with his depth of experience and global W culture, to lead the hotel on the next stage of its journey.”
Located within the unmistakable architecture of ‘The Ribbon’ the hotel’s cleverly designed interiors by international designers Bowler James Brindley draw on inspiration from its NSW locale. With four dining and bar venues across three levels, W Sydney brings an exciting new energy to Darling Harbour for travellers and Sydneysiders alike.
