#144 – Hospitality Meets Andrew Harrison – Becoming a Nomadic Hotelier

I’ve gone all luxury this week as I head into Hampshire and specifically within the rather wonderful Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire where I got some time with their fantastic General Manager, Andrew Harrison.

As always, we get through a lot including:-

  • Getting started
  • Getting the right kind of experience
  • Learning attention to detail
  • Discovering wine cellars
  • Getting the travel bug in Asia
  • Graft
  • The nomadic career journey
  • Four Seasons
  • Sleeping in a jungle
  • Luxury Tents
  • Sugar based produce
  • The diversity of the world
  • Returning home
  • The Four Seasons Hampshire
  • Being Pet friendly

And so much more. Andrew has had a fabulous career so far and has closed the travel loop by returning to the UK to oversee one of it’s finest country house hotels. There are so many stories in here from his travels.

Enjoy!
