Lubosh Barta has been appointed General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul
Lubosh Barta has been named General Manager of the new Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, which is expected to open in 2015. A ten year Four Seasons veteran, Barta joined the company as Food & Beverage Director at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, and quickly earned promotions to Resort Manager at Four Seasons resorts in Chiang Mai and Koh Samui before assuming the General Manager role at the latter in 2012. A native of Czech Republic, Barta is a fourth generation hotelier who was inspired to pursue an international hospitality career by a newspaper article about Four Seasons Founder Isadore Sharp that he read while still a student, and that he has kept to this day. He studied at the prestigious international hotel school at Cornell University in the USA, then worked in Germany, Australia and the UAE before securing his first Four Seasons position in 2004. Four Seasons Hotel Seoul will be his first Four Seasons opening, and after ten years in Thailand, he is particularly looking forward to enjoying his first real winter in Korea, and indulging his family’s love of ice hockey and skiing.
