Four Seasons has expanded the role of Shadi Suleman
from GM of the Four Seasons Hotel Doha to now also include
oversight of the upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Residences at
The Pearl-Qatar as Senior General Manager.
“Four Seasons has been at the forefront of luxury
hotel brands in Qatar and a market leader in the capital,” Shadi
said. “With our growing portfolio in Doha, I look forward to
working alongside General Manager Mehdi Zaanoun and our large
family of professionals at The Pearl to position ourselves as the
leader for resort guests and private residence owners.”
A veteran of more than 20 years with the company,
Shadi
started his career in August 2002 at Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at
Kingdom Centre as Front Office Manager.
In the years since, he has
risen through the ranks with increasing responsibilities and
challenging new assignments.
In 2005, he joined the pre-opening
team at Four Seasons Hotel Damascus and in 2007, he joined another pre-opening mission for Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus.
In 2008, he made the move to Four Seasons Hotel Doha as
Director of Rooms where he advanced to Hotel Manager in 2013.
His
first General Manager position was at Four Seasons Hotel
Alexandria, where he honed his leadership skills and oversaw the
expansion and the renovation projects of the property.
A move to Doha followed in 2021, where he was
appointed as General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Doha.
Since his
return to Doha, Shadi has led many successful projects, including FIFA
World Cup 2022 activations, the refurbishment of Library Lounge,
as well as the opening of Curiosa by Jean-Georges, Makani Beach
Club and Le Deli Robuchon coming soon.
“It is with great pride that we share the news of
Shadi’s promotion to Senior General Manager,” said Simon Casson,
President, Hotel Operations – Europe, Middle East and Africa for
Four Seasons. “Beyond striving for perfection, Shadi’s exposure to
numerous operations in the GCC and the Middle East, along with his
pre-opening experience, will undoubtedly contribute to the further
success of Four Seasons Hotel Doha and the highly anticipated
debut of Four Seasons Resort and Residences at The Pearl-Qatar.”
