As Hotel Manager, Matthew Barber will guide the experiential vision of the AAA Five-Diamond property through his direction and oversight of all Hotel, Spa, Food & Beverage and Security departments. He began his journey with the leading luxury brand in 2012 at Four Seasons Hotel Denver as the General Manager of EDGE Restaurant and Bar, and was quickly promoted to Banquet Director. In 2017, Barber moved to South Africa to lead the dining programs at Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff Johannesburg as Director of Food & Beverage. His path continued to Qatar in 2019 to oversee nine premium outlets in the same role at Four Seasons Hotel Doha.

She joins Atlanta from Four Seasons Resort Lanai in Hawaii, where she was Restaurant General Manager for nearly three years. In 2004, she began her hospitality career as Room Service Coordinator at the former Four Seasons Newport Beach in California. Her proven excellence with the company led to progressive leadership positions from Restaurant Manager to Assistant Director of Banquets and In-Room Dining Manager, while moving to properties in Scottsdale, Arizona; St. Louis, Missouri; Hualalai, Hawaii; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Orange County, California native graduated magna cum laude from California State Polytechnic University – Pomona with a Bachelor’s Degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management; she continued her education and earned a Master of Business Administration from University of Phoenix.

Demian Kojro, in his promoted role of Rooms Division Manager, is responsible for much of the first impressions and curated guest connections at the Hotel – including the management of all 244 hotel guest rooms and suites, Housekeeping, the Front Desk and Concierge Services, as well as Valet and the Tesla Model S house car. His congenial personality and sincere love for delivering memorable moments has been known to inspire fellow colleagues and delight guests.
