Thierry Papillier Moves to Kuwait as Executive Chef of Four Seasons at Burj Alshaya

(26 Oct 2021) The Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya has appointed Thierry Papillier as Executive Chef.

A French native originating from Brittany, Thierry has moved to Kuwait by way of Four Seasons Resort Marrakech, with a twelve-year tenure with Four Seasons on his resume.

Already demonstrating his talents with an international hotel brand at 29 years of age, Papillier was hired by Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, making him the youngest Executive Chef across the company.

That first assignment at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza did nothing to slow the pace of his career trajectory, and subsequent moves to Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita and the company’s properties in Casablanca and Marrekech followed.

“I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to relocate to Kuwait because I had heard great things about the dining scene here,” said Thierry. “Kuwait is blessed with an excellent collection of restaurants and while I am honoured to be a part of that community, there comes a responsibility to keep our standards high and to deliver a memorable experience for our diners, whatever the occasion.”

Thierry will oversee all the F&B outlets at the luxury hotel, including signature restaurants Dai Forni, Sintoho and Al Bandar Restaurant and Lounge.

“With Thierry, we have secured the services of a vastly experienced, energetic and meticulous culinary craftsman who I am simply thrilled to have leading this wonderful kitchen team here,” said Didier Jardin, who has been the General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait since its celebrated opening in 2017.
