Andrew De Brito has been promoted to General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Beijing

Four Seasons Hotel Beijing announces the promotion of Andrew De Brito to General Manager. De Brito has served as Hotel Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Beijing since August 2013. A native of Malaysia, Andrew’s passion for hotels is in his blood. His father had a notable career with Pan Pacific Hotels until his retirement, and his brother is the resort manager of a boutique hotel in Phuket, Thailand. Though it appears Andrew is following in his father’s footsteps, his career in hotels was initially a rebellion – he became a server at the Concorde Hotel, Kuala Lumpur in his youth, even as his father encouraged him to build on his natural abilities in maths and physics and pursue engineering. While at the Concorde, Andrew fell in love with the fast-paced life of food and beverage and knew he had found his calling.

With branding undertaken by German luxury hotelier Kempinski and French consultancy Landor in consultation with Chinese historians and design experts, the Beijing location can be thought of as a modern interpretation of a Ming dynasty scholar's studio—albeit a much more opulent version. “We have moon gate-shaped doors, the furniture is Ming design; the style, the pattern is from Ming design as well," says NUO Beijing General Manager Adrian Rudin.
