Hospitality Leaders introduces outstanding personalities of the international hotel sector – the industry’s influencers, who shape opinions and set trends. Today’s personality: Ingo C. Peters, Fairmont Vier Jahreszeiten Seasons Hamburg, Germany
by Carsten Hennig
Ingo C. Peters has worked his way from bottom to top in record time. He started as a bellboy and returned as managing director to the best hotel in Hamburg, Germany, the Vier Jahreszeiten Fairmont Hotel. Long-standing suppliers, like coffee king Albert Darboven, can still remember his years as an apprentice in this traditional hotel at the Binnenalster. Today, they enjoy visiting him there as a director.
Ingo Peters has fought his way through the hard times of apprenticeship in Germany and in various challenging positions in East Asia. His impressive career is a perfect example for young people, who are diligent and assiduous. It shows them the great opportunities to succeed in the hospitality industry. Peters has also become a devotee of young talent promotion in the exclusive association “Selection of German Luxury Hotels” – the guard of the leading five star hotels in Germany. It is to his credit that again and again especially the talents from his team are standing out in branch-related competitions.
Furthermore, Ingo C. Peters is European Chief of Fairmont – one of the best hotel groups of the world – and Supervisor of the legendary hotel Savoy in London. This again stresses his leading role, which he steadily strengthens with his great professional skills and excellent guidance. His wife Christiane supports him by bringing joy and stability to his every-day working life. She is also responsible for the restructuring and the prize-worthy interior design of the spiritus rector. This dream couple of the German hotel sector can greatly appreciate the new owner of the Four Seasons hotel. He is a very successful trading entrepreneur, who carefully follows the plans and visions of Ingo and Christiane Peters and makes the appropriate resources available.
Our expectations can still be especially high for the happy manager and his smart and charming wife.
