Arriving from the sultry shores of Seychelles, Marcel Oostenbrink brings a breath of fresh air and a wealth of luxury resort expertise to Vietnam’s cultural heartland.

Recently appointed as General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Hoi An (The Nam Hai) Marcel is excited for the new chapter that is set to unfold at the picturesque beachfront property.

Born on the charmed island of St. Lucia and raised in the Netherlands, Marcel decided early to follow in his father’s footsteps and build a career in the world of luxury hospitality.

After completing a degree in hospitality management from Hotelschool The Hague, he cut his teeth at premier hotels in Amsterdam, Dubai and Trinidad and Tobago, before going on to earn an MBA from the Erasmus University Rotterdam.

He then spent several years with a luxury hotel chain across key destinations like the Maldives, Seychelles and UAE, with his talent and diligence rapidly propelling him up the ladder from Food and Beverage Manager to Resort Manager.
