Marriott Al Jaddaf has brought in a top F&B manager who has already made his mark in the group. Anwer Abbas has climbed the ladder in Marriott for years, now helping lead food and beverage at Marriott Al Jaddaf.

Abbas has over 12 years of experience in the industry and started his career in the UK as a shift leader at Marriott Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club. He then headed to the UAE to join JW Marriott Dubai way back in 2014 as restaurant supervisor/acting manager.

Within a short period of time, Abbas moved to the next level of his career when he moved to Courtyard by Marriott WTC Abu Dhabi as F&B assistant manager. In January 2017, he challenged himself to develop and took bigger responsibilities in a bigger property, the Marriott Hotel Al Forsan Abu Dhabi, a sports resort hotel. Initially hired as assistant manager (pre-opening team) and just after over a year got promoted to multi-outlet manager and handled seven outlets including banquet facilities. He played a huge part in the numerous achievements obtained by the hotel in terms of F&B service both operational and financial.

Before coming back to Dubai, Abbas was the F&B service manager at Kigali Marriott, in Kigali Rwanda. He managed five restaurants including bars, lounges and conference and meeting spaces.
