From Toronto to Athens: moving into hotel operations leadership
In 2022, Maxime Regad was appointed Hotel Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, the group’s flagship property. At the time, Patrick Pollak, then General Manager of the hotel, praised his ability to lead his teams to the highest standards. He also highlighted the progressive expansion of Regad’s operational responsibilities.
In September 2024, Regad was appointed to the same position at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens. Located in Vouliagmeni, this resort opened in 2019 within the former Astir Palace and was the brand’s first property in Greece.
A 94-key resort designed as a Cycladic village
Developed in partnership with AGC Equity Partners, Four Seasons Hotel Mykonos welcomed its first guests in summer 2026. The property comprises 94 rooms, suites and villas, many featuring private pools, spread across a six-hectare cliffside site.
Greek architect Nicos Valsamakis designed the resort to resemble a traditional Mykonian village. The hotel features a private beach, two infinity pools, four restaurants and bars, and a spa with seven treatment rooms. Ryan Grande, the opening General Manager, was responsible for assembling the pre-opening team.
The Athens–Mykonos connection at the heart of Four Seasons’ Greek strategy
The group offers combined stays across its two Greek properties. Guests can travel between them in three hours by boat, 30 minutes by plane or 20 minutes by helicopter, with transfers arranged by Four Seasons. At the opening, Rainer Stampfer, President of Global Operations, Hotels and Resorts, described Mykonos as representing a new vision of luxury in the Mediterranean islands.
Analysis – By appointing an executive from Astir Palace, Four Seasons is strengthening the links between its two Greek properties as its local portfolio expands. The group has also announced a third project in the country, at Porto Heli on Hinitsa Bay. Maxime Regad’s experience in food and beverage and pre-opening operations is another advantage for a 94-key resort with four restaurants and bars.
