Houston, Texas - July 26, 2004 - Four Seasons Hotel Houston, the only AAA Five Diamond hotel downtown, announces the appointment of its new general manager, Ramesh Sadhwani. Formerly the General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma at Emerald Bay, Sadhwani brings with him a wealth of Four Seasons knowledge and experience.
