Written by Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta welcomes Maximilian Schillik as its new Director of Rooms. Making the move from Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, Maximilian brings an exciting international flair to the Hotel and is looking forward to further elevating the guest experience at this vibrant urban retreat.
In his new role, Maximilian will oversee several departments, including Concierge, Front Office, Housekeeping and Spa. His ultimate vision is to ensure a sublime guest experience – “the most enjoyable in all of Jakarta!” – and create a sanctuary of elegance amid the hustle and bustle of the Indonesian capital.
Born in Munich, Bavaria, young Max spent his childhood between Germany and Italy, straddling two distinct cultures. Inspired by his parents’ superb hosting skills, he learned the value of setting a beautiful table, keeping a well-stocked pantry and wine cellar, and creating an “atmosphere” for guests.
After studying law for a few years, Maximilian realised that his true passion lay in hospitality. He officially made his foray into the world of hotels as a management trainee at Seehotel Überfahrt in Bavaria. In 2011, he joined a luxury hotel brand and steadily climbed the ranks, moving from front office supervisor in Munich to managerial roles across China, Germany and Myanmar. In 2019, he joined the Four Seasons family in the Maldives, coming on board as Director of Rooms.
