Vincent Fredon has been appointed as Director of Restaurants and Bar at Four Seasons Jakarta

Arriving with more than 15 years of Four Seasons experience, Vincent will oversee the Hotel's food and beverage outlets, including Alto, the award-winning Italian restaurant on the 20th floor framed by stunning city views. He is looking forward to adding a fresh flair to La Patisserie, the Tiffany-blue cake shop, as well as to Palm Court's all-day international favourites, served under a dramatic crystal chandelier. Also part of his portfolio: coffee-to-go at Dolcetto, banqueting services, and bespoke Weddings by Four Seasons. Last but not least, he is set to welcome a new bartender to Nautilus Bar, an intimate venue serving artisanal cocktails crafted with local spices and ingredients.

Growing up in the west of France, good food was an integral part of Vincent's childhood. His grandparents would pamper him with freshly baked cakes and desserts, while his parents introduced him to the world of fine wine and cheese. Sampling new flavours, discovering seasonal ingredients and sharing elaborate meals were all par for the course in the Fredon household.

After graduating with an Associate Degree in Hospitality, Vincent started his career as a server at the former Four Seasons Resort Provence. Rising rapidly through the ranks, his Four Seasons journey took him to properties in Dubai, Paris, Singapore, Hampshire and Kyoto. It is the brand's Golden Rule that has kept him committed to the company all these years, aligning perfectly with his own focus on service and personal connections.
