Occidental Sharjah Grand Hotel has appointed Asier Baquero as its new GM.

A seasoned professional in hospitality operations, Baquero began his career over 22 years ago. He served as general manager and deputy manager across several resorts and city-based hotels under various international chains in the United Kingdom, Spain, Guatemala, Cuba and Mexico.

Baquero is no stranger to the Barceló Hotel Group, having previously worked with the group in the early 2000s. He re-joined the brand in 2016 as general manager at Barceló Lanzarote and then moved on to lead the Occidental Menorca team before settling into his new role at Occidental Sharjah Grand.
