Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts have announced the appointment of Thomas Lind as General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh.
Swedish born Lind comes to the region with a wealth of experience gained from international postings within the hospitality industry over the past 25 years. He moves to Riyadh from Four Seasons Mexico City where, as General Manager, he oversaw a comprehensive renovation of the Hotel, the only Five Diamond property in the City.
Lind, who describes himself as `more international than Scandinavian` graduated from Rosemont College Pennsylvania with a BSc Honours in Management and has spent much of his professional career with luxury hotels in the Americas. He comes to Riyadh with this philosophy: The ultimate luxury experience is to receive personalised care and have requests tended to effortlessly and quietly. Passionate about a flawless service experience for guests, he says: Regardless of how beautiful a physical facility may be, elegance without warmth and respect from its employees is simply arrogance.
I believe that exposing children to new cultures and languages only prepares them for this ever-shrinking world, he says. We`re all looking forward to discovering not only a new country but a new way of life. Fluent in English and Spanish, he is also looking forward to learning Arabic.
