Florian Riedel has been appointed as General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley at East Palo Alto

East Palo Alto, California, United States

Trading in his relaxed resort wear for a sharp new suit, Florian Riedel has arrived at the epicentre of innovation, Silicon Valley, in early November. Florian assumed his new positon as General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley at East Palo Alto, one of Palo Alto’s premier hotels. In his most recent assignment, as General Manager and Vice President of Operations at Hualalai Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii, he was charged with overseeing 330 Residential Member homes and member facilities, including golf, tennis, Spa, ocean activities and two fully serviced club houses. Prior to Hualalai where he has been since 2012 including two years as Resort Manager of the award winning Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, Florian spent six years in successive rooms and residence director roles at Four Seasons in Carlsbad, California and the former Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma in the Bahamas. The inescapable entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley is a sentiment Florian knows well. In 2003, Florian briefly left Four Seasons to become partner and sous chef of a Tuscan vineyard in the beautiful village of Montalcino, Italy. Priorities include adding luxurious touches to the arrival experience with lobby enhancements, elevating the restaurant experience to include an additional dining venue and creating two additional meeting and event spaces to complement the selection of recently renovated function space.
