Ursula Schoefl becomes GM of Sheraton Maldives
Maldives Promotion House – Only a 15 minute boat ride from Malé International Airport, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is a luxurious resort situated on a private island in North Malé Atoll. With its well known luxurious Shine Spa for Sheraton, their lagoon plays host to exciting water sports. The 40 nearby dive sites only adds to the endless exhilaration for adrenaline seeking explorers.
Ms. Ursula Schoefl was recently appointed as the new GM of Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa. With a two-decade career dedicated to Starwood Hotels & Resorts that has spanned twelve countries, Ms. Schoefl’s varied overseas experience has fostered her ability to adapt to new cultures and environments, and she plans to direct this talent into orchestrating the operation behind Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa and connecting with guests and associates alike, bringing to life Sheraton’s brand promise, “Life is Better When Shared”.
Ms. Schoefl’s career began at Sheraton Frankfurt Hotel in 1988 after graduating from the Hotel Management School Schloss, Klessheim in Salzburg, Austria. She started in food and beverage before moving to the front office. After 10 years in Frankfurt, she took the Front Office Manager’s post at the Arabella Sheraton Pelikan Hotel in Hanover, Germany.
Eager to travel and meet new challenges, Ms Schoefl started trotting the globe with Sheraton in 1999, taking front office and rooms’ division positions in Egypt, Tanzania, China, Malaysia, Vietnam and Hong Kong.
Prior to commencement of her leadership role at Sheraton Maldives, Ms Schoefl was Hotel Manager at Le Méridien Chiang Mai and served as Deputy General Manager at Sheraton Lagos Hotel & Towers, the only international five-star hotel in Lagos, Nigeria.
Backed by 23 years of experience, she is confident in Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resorts & Spa’s success. “Our selected team of associates and their personalised service to our guests as well as the hotel’s stunning location atop the recently completed USD11 million renovation guarantee a win,” she said.
On a lighter note, Ursula enjoys the outdoors including playing golf and is looking forward to discovering the culture and food that Maldives has to offer. We at Maldives Promotion House welcome Ms. Ursula Schoefl to the beauty of Maldives, and we congratulate her for her new post. We wish her a successful career and hope that she enjoys her time in Maldives.
