Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen welcomes Chadi Chemaly as its new General Manager, marking a new chapter of leadership for the luxury property this spring. With over two decades of international experience spanning the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, Chadi brings a wealth of expertise and a dynamic vision to his new role.
Originally from Lebanon, Chadi grew up between Beirut and the United States before embarking on a hospitality career that has taken him across the globe. A graduate of La Salle College in Montreal with a Diploma in Hotel Management, he later pursued advanced studies in Revenue Management and Real Estate and Asset Management at Cornell University in New York.
Chadi’s career began in North America, where he refined his skills in Front Office Management and Housekeeping at The Ballantyne, A Luxury Collection Hotel. His passion for luxury hospitality led him to Al Faisaliah in Saudi Arabia, followed by leadership roles at Raffles Beijing and Fairmont Mayakoba in Mexico. He then joined the re-opening team of the iconic Raffles Singapore as Hotel Manager. In 2022, Chadi was appointed General Manager of Four Seasons Casablanca, where he successfully elevated the guest experience and operational standards.
Fluent in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, Chadi is excited to expand his linguistic repertoire by learning Mandarin in his new role. His wife Yuan, whom he met in Beijing, and their children are equally eager to explore Shenzhen’s green spaces and vibrant culture.
Chadi’s arrival coincides with Shenzhen’s dynamic evolution as China’s ‘Silicon Valley’, renowned for its innovation and technological prowess. With a passion for creating memorable guest experiences, Chadi aims to blend the city’s energetic character with the refined luxury of Four Seasons.
“It's great to be back in China and to live and work in Shenzhen,” says Chadi. “From my first visit, I felt inspired by the dynamic, ground-breaking energy of this economic powerhouse. I’m excited by the potential of this vibrant city, especially working alongside the visionary team at Four Seasons Shenzhen.”
Nestled amid Shenzhen’s mountains and verdant parks, Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen offers a tranquil, art-filled sanctuary in the heart of the city. Under Chadi’s leadership, the hotel is set to reach new heights of luxury and service excellence, redefining the guest experience in one of China’s most innovative metropolises.
