Four Seasons Hotel Seattle announces the appointment of Graham Williamson as General Manager. A respected leader within Four Seasons since 2003, Williamson brings more than 20 years of international experience shaped by operational excellence, thoughtful innovation, and a people-first approach to hospitality.
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. I look forward to working with our team to create experiences that feel elegant, genuine, and deeply connected to the community.”
Most recently, Williamson served as Resort Manager at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, where he led major renovations and launched new dining concepts including the reimagined 'ULU and Noio Sushi and Omakase. Previously, he was the Resort Manager at Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina, where he led a team of more than 800. Prior to that, he was the Director of Food and Beverage at the former Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas, with additional roles within Four Seasons across Chicago, Silicon Valley, and Scottsdale.
Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, Williamson built a career spanning North America, Hawai'i, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Known for cultivating strong teams and delivering exceptional guest experiences, he has held progressive leadership roles across the portfolio.
“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 Bachelor 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.

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2026
Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.
Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.
We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.
Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
While membership spots for 2026 are limited, it's not too late to renew.- Read more her
