Leonardo Baiocchi, who was the general manager at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, has been promoted to the role of regional vice president, effective as of March 1.

He will continue to oversee his current home hotel at Jumeirah Beach, as well as extending his regional responsibilities to supervising hotels in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Cairo at The First Residence.  
Since early 2017, Baiocchi has successfully led Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach (a flagship property) as general manager. He arrived in Dubai from Istanbul, where he served both Four Seasons properties as general manager for five years. Under his leadership, Dubai has been continuously recognised as one of the top resorts in the world by well-respected travel authorities, including Forbes Travel Guide and The Gallivanters Guide.  

Joining Four Seasons in 1993, Baiocchi boasts a wealth of luxury hospitality and management experience from wide-ranging and far-flung destinations including being a part of opening teams at Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, Four Seasons Hotel London at Canary Wharf (formerly a Four Seasons hotel), Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest and Four Seasons Hotel Firenze.

“I am very excited about my new role as regional vice president. We have exceptional employees across the region and a very bright future ahead. I look forward to working closely with the teams in my new destinations to ensure Four Seasons remains the leader in luxury hospitality, while continuing to uphold and support the success at my home hotel in Dubai,” said Baiocchi. - TradeArabia News Service
