BENGALURU — The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore has appointed Saif Siddiqui as Hotel Manager. This is his first Hotel Manager role, and he arrives with nearly two decades of luxury hospitality experience across Four Seasons properties in Asia.
Saif Siddiqui Appointed Hotel Manager at The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore
Siddiqui steps into the Hotel Manager role at The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore. His responsibilities span hotel operations, guest experience delivery and leadership across all departments.
Career and Background
Siddiqui began his hospitality career at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts in Mumbai. He is a graduate of the Institute of Hotel Management Goa. From Mumbai, his career took him across Singapore, Kyoto, the Maldives and Vietnam, all within the Four Seasons network.
His experience spans restaurants, bars, banqueting and in-room dining across those markets. Each location brought a different cultural context and guest expectation. Working across all four shaped a versatile operational foundation that is rare at his career stage.
He was also part of the pre-opening team for Nobu Singapore at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, adding launch experience to his profile at one of the most high-profile restaurant openings in the city.
Tea Master, Sommelier and Michelin-Starred Restaurant Experience
Siddiqui is a certified Tea Master and trained sommelier. He has managed Michelin-starred restaurants and led World Class beverage events across his career. He also launched one of Singapore's Peranakan afternoon tea experiences, combining cultural storytelling with premium beverage programming.
That depth of culinary and beverage knowledge is unusual for a Hotel Manager. At The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore, where the F&B programme is a significant part of the property's identity, it gives him a sharper lens on dining as a guest experience driver.
