Luca Allegri has been appointed General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, his first managerial role since re-joining the Toronto based luxury hotel group in 2004. Italian born Allegri moves to Four Season’s Red Sea Resort from Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza where he was Hotel Manager.

After studying law for two years at the University of Genoa, he realised his real calling was the hotel business where he has since had 20 years experience, including Deputy Manager of the Plaza Athenee in Paris, assistant to world renowned French Chef Alain Ducasse at the Monte Carol Hotel in Monaco, Marketing Manager with Orient Express Hotels in Italy and General Manager of a small luxury hotel in Ravello, Italy. Allegri first joined Four Seasons in 1999 as pre-opening Food and Beverage Director for Four Seasons Georges V in Paris.

During his hotelier’s career, he has attended numerous advanced management programmes at Cornell University, New York, including the general manager’s course in 2002. “I’m delighted to be at the helm of Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh and to have the opportunity of working in a new and magnificent environment,” said Allegri who has moved to Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh - the group’s first Resort in the Middle East.
