Veteran hotelier joins Four Seasons Cairo as general manager

Charles Fisher is the new General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence.

A veteran in the hospitality industry, Fisher’s vision for Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts’ luxury hotel in Egypt is set to transform guest experiences through innovation and creativity.

Hailing from the UK and having most recently lived in Tokyo, Fisher is poised to enter a new phase of transformation for the property and destination.

He brings 24 years of hospitality experience to his new role, having tenured at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts properties across the globe. “With the hospitality industry rapidly evolving, we are primarily focusing on innovation and creativity whilst maintaining a strong connection with our guests by curating personalized experiences in the way only Four Seasons can,” he explains.

Located in the prestigious First Mall complex in Giza, this boutique hotel with 212 guest rooms and 50 suites is an ideal setting for customised stays in Cairo.

“From our front office members to our guest experience officers, the team at First Residence takes great pride in personally recognizing every guest, anticipating their needs and tailoring their entire experience. This encourages guests make their very own authentic Four Seasons memories, whether it’s navigating the city to relish their favourite culinary delights, organizing a special celebration, or creating an element of surprise throughout their stay,” says Fisher.

After completing a four-year degree in hotel and restaurant management at Oxford Brookes University in the UK, he joined the front desk at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane. “I graduated on Friday, joined Four Seasons the Monday after – and have never looked back since,” he smiles.

After his first assignment in London, he took up a role at The Pierre in New York (then a Four Seasons Hotel), followed by Four Seasons Resort Nevis. The next promotion took him eastward to Singapore, then Chiang Mai. As Resort Manager at Four Seasons Resort Lanai, he played an instrumental role in the property’s dramatic and award-winning transformation. He spent the next few years at Four Seasons Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort.

Enamoured with the history of this great ancient city and his deep appreciation for its culture, Charles looks forward to exploring Cairo’s hidden gems, local cuisine and in curating memorable guest experiences infused with warm Egyptian hospitality. “I can’t wait to incorporate a magical Cairene adventure to the future stays of our guests, especially with the highly anticipated opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum later this year. The opportunities are endless to create a one-of-a-kind experience,” he says. – TradeArabia News Service
