Washington, DC, 2015-2-25 — /Travel PR News/ — Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC welcomes Tony Dixon as Director of Events. A native of Pittston, Pennsylvania, Dixon’s exposure to weddings and events as a child influenced his decision to work in the hospitality industry. He started his career working for casinos and night clubs in Atlantic City but quickly realized his passion for luxury hospitality. Dixon joined The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia in December 1995 and dedicated 13 years of service to several Ritz-Carlton properties, including Amelia Island, Atlanta, Orlando, and Washington, DC. During his tenure he gained extensive knowledge by executing countless weddings, corporate meetings, and social events. In 2009, he opened The Waldorf Astoria Orlando and Hilton Bonnet Creek Orlando recruiting, training, and leading more than 200 servers to establish event operations at the first Waldorf Astoria outside of New York City. Next, he accepted a position at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess where his experience was put to good use as the director of banquets.
“When I decided it was time to return to the east coast, Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC was at the top of a very short list of places I considered to further my experience and career. I hoped to have the opportunity to work within an outstanding brand and culture and during the interview process, I realized that I would also be joining a great team. As I develop meaningful relationships with the employees of the Hotel, the decision to join Four Seasons Hotel Washington is strengthened in the common goal to create wonderful memories for our guests,” says Dixon.
Four Seasons Hotel Washington welcomes the expertise and innovative style of Tony Dixon to manage events for the nation’s capital’s high profile clients.
“The wealth of knowledge and skills Dixon brings to Four Seasons Hotel Washington is ideal to service our international clientele and execute high profile business meetings and weddings.
