Marco Barbon, a member of the Management Board, has been with Sunstar Hotels since 2018 and his areas of responsibility are facility management and sustainability. He is a qualified electrician with 40 years' experience in the hotel industry, having worked for over 37 years as Director of Engineering for the Swissôtel Group in Zurich and Basel, among other places.
He was often involved in new Swissôtel projects elsewhere in Europe, for example Swissôtel Berlin. He has also taken various continuing education courses on leadership and communication.
The married father of adult twin daughters lives in Zurich with his family and likes to indulge in his two hobbies of football and swimming. You can tell that his forefathers came from the Veneto from his love of cooking, red wine and, of course, la Bella Italia. He believes that, above all, it is the Sunstar Group's diversity that makes it stand out: "Each Sunstar hotel has its own special charm and character."
