Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr Appoints Romain Chanet as General Manager

A New Appointment on the Atlantic

Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr has appointed Romain Chanet as General Manager. Bringing more than two decades of international hospitality experience, he joins the oceanfront property after leading Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora. His arrival places personalised service, team development and an appreciation of local culture at the centre of his remit.

From Deauville to International Hospitality

Born in Deauville, France, Chanet comes from three generations of hoteliers. His career began at London’s Le Gavroche, then a restaurant holding two Michelin stars. He subsequently held senior leadership roles across France, New Caledonia, Seychelles, Indonesia and French Polynesia.

Experience Across Cities and Islands

Along the way, Chanet worked across both urban luxury hotels and island resorts. That range brings experience of different destinations, service cultures and guest expectations to his new role in Rabat. In addition, he holds a degree in Hospitality Business, Marketing and Finance from Hotel Savoie Léman.

A Philosophy Built Around People

Chanet joined Four Seasons in 2022 as General Manager of its Bora Bora resort. There, he championed genuine care, authentic hospitality and the development of his teams. In Rabat, those priorities will inform his oversight of the hotel’s operations and guest experience.

Working With the Team

Moreover, his approach places colleagues at the heart of the property’s ambitions. In announcing his appointment, Chanet emphasised the opportunity to work with the existing team while celebrating Morocco’s hospitality and culture.

Moroccan Heritage at Four Seasons Hotel Rabat

Set within Kasr Al Bahr, an 18th-century royal palace overlooking the Atlantic, the hotel brings Moroccan heritage into a contemporary hospitality setting. Its history and architecture provide a distinctive backdrop for Chanet’s next chapter.

A Destination to Celebrate

“It is a true privilege to join Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr and become part of such an extraordinary destination,” he said. Beyond its setting, his remit includes celebrating the destination’s cultural identity through the guest experience.

The Next Chapter in Rabat

For Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr, the appointment brings a hotelier with experience across Europe, the Indian Ocean and Asia-Pacific. Above all, Chanet’s stated priorities offer a clear direction: attentive service, supported teams and experiences rooted in the destination.
