Gregory Viaud is the opening General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Rabat Kasr Al Bahr in Morocco’s capital city of Rabat. The former 19th century palace and military hospital features 204 guest rooms and suites offering stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean. The Hotel also offers seven restaurants and lounges, an extensive spa with an indoor pool, state-of-the-art event space, several outdoor pools and much more.

Viaud joined the pre-opening team after having served as Resort Manager of Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, where Gregory oversaw the Resort operations of the 26-acre (10.5 hectare), 443-room Resort, complete with water park facilities, tennis, golf, spa, six restaurants, banquet operations and more.

He has previously been part of the pre-opening team of Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center. In his role of Hotel Manager there, he oversaw Hotel operations across all departments while providing best-in-class service and experience for guests.

Viaud graduated from the Vatel Nimes Hotel and Tourism Business School in the South of France, and carries hospitality, tourism and adventure in his heart. His trajectory with Four Seasons started in the famed Park Lane London hotel in 2004. Later, he traded in city life for island living, relocating to Bora Bora, Bali, and then Maui, Hawaii. During this tenure, Viaud advanced to Food and Beverage Director, and learned to love the natural beauty of a remote location. After eight years in the South Pacific Islands, Viaud and his family embarked on a journey to explore the US mainland, establishing a home in Los Angeles at Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, followed by his moves to Philadelphia and Orlando.

Viaud is a family man at heart. He is an avid runner and enjoys playing soccer and tennis with his wife and two children. Together, they love travelling and discovering the history and local food scene in each city they visit or call home.
