Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence proudly announces the appointment of Belal Al-Kadry as its new General Manager, bringing to the storied Nile-side and Pyramids landmark a spirited blend of global expertise, heartfelt leadership, and an unwavering passion for elevating the guest experience. With more than 25 years of distinguished hospitality experience, Belal steps into the Four Seasons property ready to infuse fresh energy into the hotel that first introduced the Four Seasons brand to the Middle East and North Africa. 

Belal’s hospitality journey began at Sheraton Kuwait, where his natural affinity for people and his fascination with creating memorable guest moments inspired a lifelong career. That early spark grew into an impressive track record across Starwood, Hilton, and Marriott International, where he held leadership roles at some of the region’s most prestigious properties including The Ritz-Carlton, Doha; Sharq Village and Spa, A Ritz-Carlton Hotel; Sheraton Grand Doha; and several major hotels within Qatar and Kuwait. His path later expanded to Saudi Arabia’s visionary Sindalah NEOM development, where he oversaw a cluster of Marriott luxury properties, contributing to one of the world’s most ambitious hospitality destinations.

Belal’s approach to luxury is rooted in authenticity. “Luxury is not just a standard; it’s a legacy, and every guest deserves to feel and resonate with it,” he says. His guiding belief is equally inspiring: “Love what you do and do it wholeheartedly. When your heart is in your work, every guest feels it.” 

Now at the helm of Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence, Belal is excited to lead a team he calls “passionate, talented, and deeply connected to the spirit of Egyptian hospitality.” Overlooking the Nile and known for its timeless elegance, the hotel enters a compelling new chapter under his leadership, one defined by craftsmanship, heartfelt service, and moments that speak to the soul.

With Belal Al-Kadry’s guidance and leadership, Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence stands poised to elevate its legacy of luxury with renewed vision, warmth, and purpose in the region.
