Four Season Hotel Doha has announced the appointment of Julia Selyukova as the new Hotel Manager. A hotelier with more than 20 years of experience, Julia has previously held the position of Hotel Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Moscow.
A long-serving Four Seasons veteran, Julia first joined the company in 2014 at Four Seasons Hotel Moscow, starting from the position of Sales Director, then leading the Sales & Marketing Department and playing an important role in the successful opening of the hotel that became an undisputed leader in the market.
She then completed different assignments in several Four Seasons properties across Europe and the Middle East, including Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris; Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach; and Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi. In 2019, Julia moved to operations, taking the position of Hotel Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Moscow.
“I am very glad to welcome Julia to our multicultural team” says Shadi Suleman, General Manager of the hotel. “She is joining us at a very important time after the successful FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and her vast experience will be a remarkable contribution to the continued success of Four Seasons Hotel Doha.”
Born and raised in St Petersburg, Russia, she was introduced to a city of rich culture and history from a young age. After attending St Petersburg State University, she devoted the early years of her career to journalism, working in television.
However, her interest in studying cultures of different countries and the excitement of meeting new people from all over the world inspired her to explore the world of hospitality where she started her career at Marriott Hotels and Resorts, in the Sales & Marketing department.
Julia believes that the key to success in the hotel business is by delivering the highest quality and consistency in service that can be achieved not only by following standards, but by sincere care and dedication of the team who knows how to meet and anticipate guests’ needs.
“I feel honored to take on this role at Four Seasons Hotel Doha”, says Julia Selyukova. “With a successful World Cup behind us, there is an exciting future ahead as Qatar turns into a rich destination of culture, sports and art. It is important to keep the momentum of the successful event and move forward using all the opportunities. In my new role, I will focus on enhancing our services and developing new talents that will lead our hotel to continued success. I look forward to working with the team and immersing myself in the city’s limitless experiences and fascinating beauty.”
