A True Home Away from Home
“A stay at Four Seasons puts you in the middle of an international gathering of vacationers, extended stay guests and residents within our Resort, and the broader community of The Pearl-Qatar right outside our doors,” says General Manager Mehdi Zaanoun who leads of team of 500 passionate professionals. “This is a place where you will connect with people – whether it’s expanding business opportunities, spending precious time with family or making new friends exploring the city or enjoying a night out on the town.”
