Dr. Jennifer Cronin
President | Wharf Hotels
An Australian, Dr Cronin was appointed President of Wharf Hotels (formerly Marco Polo Hotels) in February 2016, after serving as Vice President Sales & Marketing from 2014. Previously, she held various senior marketing and operational positions in leading international hotel groups including Hyatt International, Ritz-Carlton and Dusit International.
Her initial remit at Wharf Hotels was to launch the new luxury hotel brand, Niccolo and open the first of the luxury portfolio, Niccolo Chengdu in 2015. The brand has been internationally acclaimed and has set the benchmark for openings in Chongqing and Changsha respectively, with Niccolo Suzhou to follow in 2021. The opening of the Hong Kong flagship property in 2018 in the conservation project, The Murray, a Niccolo Hotel, has already gained global recognition for this iconic landmark building.
Her commitment to professional development and supporting future hoteliers is evidenced with her appointment to Chairperson of Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Industry Advisory Committee for the School of Hotel and Tourism Management, as well as Griffith University’s, (Hong Kong) Industry Committee and the Advisory Board of Bond Business School, Bond University and their HK Alumni Committee.
