The only hotel that connects directly to the city's Tullamarine International Airport, PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport was recently named "Best Airport Hotel, Australia/Pacific" at the 2013 World Airport Awards for the second year running.
A 30-year veteran in the hospitality industry, Craig spent the last decade managing various luxury and business hotels in Australia under Mirvac Hotels & Resorts and Carlton Hotel Group. Most recently, Craig was General Manager of Pullman Cairns International where he was named "General Manager of the Year 2010/2011" by Mirvac for his success in driving results and building strong stakeholder relationships.
Having undertaken managerial responsbilities in operations and sales at PARKROYAL hotels in Sydney during the early stages of his career, Craig is no stranger to the PARKROYAL brand. With his extensive experience in hotel operations and management, Craig is well-positioned to lead the team at the award-winning PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport to achieve higher performance standards.

After a successful tenure as General Manager of PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport, Michael Johnson has been appointed as General Manager of PARKROYAL Parramatta - a premier 196-room hotel in Western Sydney at the bank of the Parramatta River and at the centre of the shopping and entertainment belt on Church Street.
Michael brings to his new appointment an in-depth understanding of the hospitality industry in Australia and New Zealand, having close to 30 years of experience managing business hotels, resorts and tourist attractions across the two countries.
Originally from Sydney, Michael's local insights, coupled with his sound hotelier knowledge and skills, will not only serve to enhance the hotel's performance but also enrich the PARKROYAL brand positioning of 'Your Local Connection'.

I welcome both of them to the Group and look forward to working closely with them."
