Konrad Gstrein Joins Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco as General Manager

Konrad Gstrein has joined the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco as General Manager.

Born in the skiing destination of Sölden, Austria, Konrad was working in a local tourism office when he came across a magazine article on Austrians who’d been successful abroad. Among those featured was Thomas Steinhauer, then General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea and now a Regional Vice President based in Florida. After reaching out to the magazine for contact details, Konrad was able to arrange an interview with Steinhauer who offered him a starting position at the beachfront resort.

He later moved on but stayed with the company, zipping across the Pacific and the continental US while growing his expertise on the rooms side of operations in Sydney, New York, Philadelphia, and Hualalai on the Big Island of Hawaii.

In 2012, Konrad returned to where his Four Seasons career began as Resort Manager at Wailea before heading to Los Angeles to become Hotel Manager of Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel.

In 2017, he was appointed General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Toronto. While there, he oversaw the launch of Café Boulud by Chef Daniel Boulud, and the debut of the d|azur patio space inspired by the romance and elegance of French Riviera.

“We’re open and ready for business, looking forward to welcoming guests who have loved this hotel for years, as well as a new generation of travellers who are discovering Four Seasons hospitality for the first time,” Konrad said. “There will be a lot of creative experiences and surprises waiting for everyone to enjoy here in the City by the Bay.”

The Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco will celebrate its 20th anniversary on 11 October 2021.
