A qualified architect, Bryony has over 15 years’ experience spanning architectural practice, luxury hospitality and client-side development. Prior to joining Four Seasons, she was Projects Director at Maybourne and an Associate Director at Hopkins Architects, where she spent eight years working on The Peninsula London.

Her focus is on ensuring these icons continue to evolve for the modern luxury traveller without losing the qualities that made them exceptional in the first place.
