At Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, Williamson is energized by the opportunity to lead a property that reflects its destination. “Seattle is defined by creativity, innovation, and an extraordinary connection to nature,” he says. “From the waterfront to the Olympic Mountains visible across Puget Sound, there is a remarkable sense of place here.

“As General Manager, my responsibility is to ensure exceptional and personalized service for our guests, to support and develop our people, and to guide the hotel in a way that reflects both the values of Four Seasons and the spirit of Seattle,” says Williamson.

Williamson’s passion for hospitality began in Scotland, where a part-time role in a local restaurant revealed his love for caring for others and creating meaningful experiences. A graduate of The Scottish Hotel School at the University of Strathclyde with a Bachelors of Arts in Hotel and Hospitality Management, he credits his early experiences with shaping his collaborative and pragmatic leadership style.

With his global perspective, operational expertise, and enduring commitment to genuine service, Graham Williamson begins his tenure in Seattle poised to lead the hotel into its next chapter.
