Bath, UK, 1 August 2022 Sérgio Moreira has been appointed as general manager of Abbey Hotel Bath, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel.

Bath has changed a lot in the last 5 years, so I am really looking forward to exploring the city and finding out all that it has to offer, as well as being a part of a wider team that is totally committed to growing and developing a sustainable post covid operation.

Becoming part of the team is a wonderful opportunity for me.  The quality of the team and location are second to none and I’m thrilled that I can bring my experience at such an exciting time, to deliver a quality hotel experience in Bath.”
