Mexico City, Mexico -- Camino Real Hotels & Resorts, a leading hotel chain in Mexico for four decades with properties stretching from the Pacific to the Caribbean, has appointed Adrian G. Schjetnan to lead its sales and marketing efforts.

"Grupo Angeles is investing millions of dollars in upgrades and renovations of Camino Real properties during the next two years," said Mr. Schjetnan.

One of the top 20 amateur golfers in Mexico, he also enjoys the theater. Mr. Schjetnan and his wife, Trena, have been married for 22 years and have two sons, Christian and Paul.
