Lubosh Barta has been appointed as General Manager at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui

Lubosh Barta
Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, Thailand announces the appointment of Lubosh Barta as General Manager. Barta is no stranger to the palm-fringed beaches of the beautiful island of Samui, having been Resort Manager of Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui since December 2010. Koh Samui is the third stop on Barta’s “Grand Tour of Thailand,” having started his Thai adventure in 2004 in the dynamic capital as Director of Food & Beverage at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok. His journey next took him north, to the peaceful green rice fields of Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, where he served as Resort Manager from 2007 to 2010. Although he originally embarked on a career as a professional ice hockey player in his native Czech Republic, Barta soon felt the pull of the hospitality industry. Coming from a family of four generations of hoteliers, it seemed a natural step for him. Although ice hockey and hotels may seem worlds apart, Barta sees some connection. “There are definitely similarities between working in hotels and playing team sports. You are working with and alongside other people with the aim of meeting the same goal – and without those key players on your team, there would be no game.” Since graduating hotel management school, Barta's career has taken him from the Czech Republic to Germany, Australia and the United Arab Emirates, before landing him in Thailand in 2004.
