Husseyn Atakishiyev

Husseyn continued to rise through the ranks with managements stints at Hyatt Hotels Baku, Azerbaijan and Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest, Hungary before thriving in roles as Director of Rooms at Four Seasons Hotel Baku and Managing Director of City Partner Hotels, Budapest. He then moved on to become the General Manager of Boulevard Hotel Baku Autograph Collection by Marriot.

Husseyn attended Azerbaijan State University of Languages and rightfully so a polyglot! He speaks five languages fluently, Azeri (mother tongue), Hungarian, Russian, Turkish and English. He holds dual citizenship – Azerbaijani and Hungarian. Husseyn is married with two children and he finds inspiration and relaxation spending quality time with his family and meditating. His favorite pastime is gardening where he grows herbs, veggies and fruits and at the same time gets the energy from the sun. Suffice to say, he is not a fan of winter! A big cheese eater, Husseyn enjoys travelling and discovering new cultures, learning their customs and their kitchen. He has great culinary talents in authentic Azerbaijani dishes. Indian and Asian food are high on his list when he dines out.

SIX SENSES KAPLANKAYA
History & Story
Six Senses Kaplankaya is nestled in breathtaking natural beauty that characterizes the South Aegean coast of Turkey. A coastline stretches for six kilometres along seven bays, each with its own secluded beach.
Folklore has always played an important part in Turkish life. Kaplankaya gets its name from a story that has been passed down through the ages by local families.
Legend has it that the Anatolian Panther once lived here, sharing the region’s hills with goat herders who would lead their animals through the trees to the rich pastoral land beyond. On the verge of extinction, the panther took every chance it had to seize a meal, and from time to time goats would occasionally disappear.
This area became known as Kaplankaya, or the Tiger Stones. And while the cats may be long since gone, the stories endure. It is in their honour that the Anatolian Panther became the symbol of Kaplankaya, helping the legend to live on.
