Hong Kong marks a significant homecoming for Christian. His deep admiration for the vibrant city and its culture started back in 2006 as he assumed the role of Director of Rooms at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong.

Christian has 23 years of global luxury hotel experience. Prior to his latest appointment in Hong Kong, he was General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Beijing and has also worked at Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta, Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai Pudong and Puxi, Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, The Regent Singapore (formerly a Four Seasons hotel) and what was the Four Seasons Hotel Berlin.

While Asia has been his home for many years, Christian was born and raised in Berlin, Germany where his Four Seasons journey began.

“I remember going into this really elegant small hotel and seeing the intricate attention to detail, elaborate floral arrangements, and everyone smiling like they were truly happy to work there. People behaved very differently. They called each other by their first names. It was totally different from a traditional European hotel and this heritage of innovation continues at Four Seasons today,” Christian said. “I am delighted to be entrusted this opportunity to lead one of the most iconic Four Seasons properties in Asia and look forward to enhancing guest experiences with new offerings and lead the dream team to new heights. Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong is a property recognized as the pinnacle of luxury; it is essential to honour the past, respect the future and stay relevant at all times.”
