David Bernand, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC is pleased to announce the transfer and promotion of Kelley Moreton to Hotel Manager of the city’s only Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond hotel. Moreton, who served previously as the Director of Rooms at the iconic Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills (A Four Seasons Hotel), will manage the 222-room Hotel, Seasons Restaurant, Michael Mina’s BOURBON STEAK and The Spa and Fitness Center.
“I am excited to be working alongside Kelley,” says Bernand. “Her commitment to excellence has been evident throughout her thriving career with the company. I know Kelley’s vast experience with diverse staff members and international guests will make for a natural and successful transition here in DC.”
A 27-year hospitality industry professional, Moreton has progressed from corporate hotel trainee to her current position as Hotel Manager. Throughout her 15-year tenure with the company, Moreton has held different roles ranging from sales to reservations and various other departments within the rooms division. She has held manager and director roles at Four Seasons Hotel London at Canary Wharf, Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, Mexico and Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles.
“One of my favourite aspects of working with Four Seasons is the ability to help craft lasting memories for both our guests and employees,” says Moreton. “It is a true honour to be able to make a larger impact and create yet more memorable experiences in my new role as Hotel Manager.”
A native of Christchurch, New Zealand, Moreton started her career in hospitality at the age of 16 as a room attendant.

Before embarking on her career with Four Seasons, she graduated from Lincoln University in New Zealand and the New Zealand Institute of Management. While working at The George Hotel in New Zealand, she developed the customer service, leadership, and employee relation skills that propel her successful career with Four Seasons.
