Richard Poskanzer Appointed GM of Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Nashville

Richard Poskanzer has joined the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Nashville as General Manager.

Currently in pre-opening, both the hotel and the 143 Four Seasons Private Residences are scheduled to open in early 2022.

“It’s always a particularly proud moment when someone whose career we have watched flourish takes on their first assignment as General Manager,” said Antoine Chahwan, President, Hotel Operations – Americas East, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “Rich’s track record in transforming hotels, revamping food and beverage programming and evolving the guest experience to the highest levels has prepared him well to introduce Four Seasons to the city of Nashville.”

Originally from Albany, New York and a graduate of Cornell University’s prestigious hotel administration program, Richard began his Four Seasons career nearly two decades ago as an assistant food and beverage manager in Philadelphia.

Always dedicated to providing outstanding service and memorable experiences for guests, he took on increasing roles as he moved through Four Seasons properties in Lanai, North San Diego, Palo Alto and Santa Fe.

In 2014 he moved again, this time to Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, California, where as Director of Food and Beverage he led the transformation of the hotel’s dining program, introducing several new outlets and guest experiences before being promoted to Hotel Manager in 2017.

“The people of Nashville are so warm and welcoming, demonstrating the true essence of southern hospitality,” Richard said. “Everyone knows how important Nashville is to the music industry, but it’s so much more than that. My family and I are having a great time exploring the city’s neighbourhoods and green spaces, and joining its enthusiastic sports fans in cheering on the home teams.”
