Four Seasons Mauritius Names Gregory Viaud General Manager

Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita appointed Gregory Viaud as General Manager following an extensive seven-month transformation [1]. The move brings the luxury hospitality veteran to Mauritius from Four Seasons Hotel Rabat Kasr Al Bahr, where he served as opening General Manager [1]. His appointment marks a return to island resort operations after eight years of leadership across French Polynesia, Indonesia, and Hawaii [1].

Where did Gregory Viaud work before moving to Mauritius?

Before his appointment in Mauritius, Viaud served as the opening General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Rabat Kasr Al Bahr in Morocco's capital [1]. In Rabat, he directed the launch operations for the newly introduced property [1]. According to eHotelier, this relocation marks both an introduction to a new destination and a return to familiar operating environments [1].

Viaud spent eight years operating across Three prominent island properties within the Four Seasons portfolio: Bora Bora, Bali, and Maui [1]. Those assignments established his operational focus on island communities, marine surroundings, and local resort environments [1].

What does Gregory Viaud's hospitality background include?

Viaud brings more than two decades of international luxury hospitality experience to his new role in Mauritius [1]. He graduated from Vatel Nîmes Hotel and Tourism Business School located in the South of France [1]. In 2004, he started his Four Seasons career at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane [1].

His tenure spans urban flagships and major leisure resorts across several continents [1]. Following his positions in Bora Bora, Bali, and Maui, Viaud held senior leadership roles at Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center, and Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort [1].

What upgrades took place during the resort's transformation?

Viaud assumes leadership in Mauritius immediately following a seven-month renovation of the property [1]. The extensive project reimagined the resort's all-pool villas and residence rentals [1]. In addition to lodging accommodations, the refurbishment introduced new dining concepts and added upgrades to OSEYAN Spa, which stands as the only overwater spa in Mauritius [1].

As reported by eHotelier, Viaud will direct the property into its next operating phase by emphasizing Mauritian hospitality traditions, local culture, and connection to the island's natural environment [1]. His leadership approach relies on team empowerment and direct connections to deliver guest service across the transformed property [1].
