Sam Ioannidis: Four Seasons Abu Dhabi Hotel Greek General Manager

Counting down to its opening later this year, Four Seasons introduces the General Manager and senior executive team of the all-new Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island, its first hotel in the UAE capital.

Led by Four Seasons veteran Sam Ioannidis in his second assignment as a General Manager, the team includes an international cast of hospitality professionals who will oversee more than 450 hand-picked staff.

“Four Seasons is known the world over for the customised, personal service we offer to each and every guest, and Sam is the ideal person to introduce Four Seasons to Abu Dhabi,” says Christian Clerc, President, Hotel Operations – Europe, Middle East and Africa.  “While putting the finishing touches on our new hotel, his carefully chosen team is already reaching out to our global clients, making connections in the community and preparing to welcome our first guests in the coming months.”

Ali Eid AlMheiri, Executive Director, Mubadala Real Estate & Infrastructure, the hotel developer that is also the developer of Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi’s business and lifestyle destination, comments: “We are delighted with the appointment of Sam Ioannidis as General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island. He is one of the most experienced and successful Four Seasons hoteliers, which reflects the significance of this Hotel within the Four Seasons global portfolio, and bolsters Al Maryah Island’s hospitality offering. I look forward to working with Sam and his senior executive team to deliver truly memorable experiences to visitors, whether for business or pleasure.”

Ioannidis arrives more recently from Four Seasons Hotel Baku in Azerbaijan, and has previously held Four Seasons positions throughout Canada and the US since he first joined the company in Toronto 18 years ago.

“It’s a truly exciting time for Four Seasons as we continue to expand into new markets and introduce new concepts in luxury hospitality on the world stage,” says Ioannidis.  “And I’m delighted to introduce the team who will bring it all to life at Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi.”
