Vishal Sanadhya has been appointed as Hotel Manager at Four Seasons Jakarta

Vishal comes to Jakarta from Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, where he was part of the pre-opening team. Under his leadership as Director of Food and Beverage, the team created an award-winning restaurant and bar program, garnering both a Michelin star and a ranking on the World's 50 Best Bars list. Establishing the Hotel as a must-visit gastronomic destination is an achievement Vishal counts among his greatest professional successes, especially given the challenges brought about by the pandemic. Previously, Vishal supported several Four Seasons properties in other locations, including Beijing, Maldives, Singapore and Mumbai.

As a leader, Vishal is a big believer in the power of why: "When team members know the big picture and understand the reasoning behind their responsibilities, they feel inspired to go above and beyond. That's why it's important to share the why, not just the what."

When he is not at work, he enjoys listening to vinyls, with more than 170 records in his collection. He also loves to explore the local culinary scene, from street food markets to acclaimed restaurants and bars. In fact, one of the reasons Vishal understands what guests need is that he is often a guest himself. A gastro tourist, he designs his vacations based on his food map, perpetually on the hunt for local specialities and the best Negroni in town. Now in Indonesia, he is excited to discover the country's vibrant flavours, as well as its wealth of natural wonders - volcanoes, rainforests, remote islands and more.
