Service, Style and Sensory Delights Combine to Create an
Unforgettable Experience TORONTO, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, the world's leading luxury
hotel company, is pleased to announce the opening of Four Seasons
Hotel Hong Kong, the second of three planned properties in China
and a significant addition to the brand's growing Asian portfolio.
"Four Seasons has made dramatic entry into another of the world's
great cultural and business centres, heralding a new generation of
luxury hotels in Hong Kong," said Wolf Hengst, president, worldwide
hotel operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "We are
delighted to fly the Four Seasons banner in this city, and bring
our anticipatory service to business and leisure travellers alike."
Set within the International Financial Centre (IFC), a complex that
has redefined the famous Hong Kong skyline, the Hotel is also
redefining service, with fresh and new dining options, a spa full
of sensory surprises, function space that opens up to the sparkling
city, and an international team of employees that makes every
experience a personal and memorable one. The Hotel is one of four
towers of the IFC, home to some of the city's most prominent
financial organizations and retailers. The IFC includes as well
Four Seasons Place, Hong Kong's newest and most luxurious option
for long term stay guests. Just 23 minutes from Chek Lap Kok
Airport and directly on the Airport Express train route, Four
Seasons is located at the hub of the city's financial and shopping
district and within the city's sophisticated and centrally located
transportation network. Views of Victoria Harbour, the city,
Kowloon Peninsula and The Peak are framed by floor to ceiling
windows in 399 oversized bedrooms, as well as restaurants and other
spaces throughout the Hotel. Reflecting the city's cultural
heritage, rooms are offered in two design options: one featuring
classic Asian motifs and the other more Western and contemporary.
Whatever the style, the rooms are amongst the largest in Hong Kong,
and are fitted out with features designed to make every stay
productive, comfortable and memorable. The Hotel's signature
restaurant is Caprice, with a French menu created by Vincent
Thierry and his team of chefs, fresh from the famed 3-Star Michelin
Le Cinq at Four Seasons George V Paris. Caprice also offers guests
three private dining rooms, and a Chef's Table. A second
restaurant, Lung King Heen, offers contemporary Cantonese cuisine
in a modern setting. The chic Blue Bar and quieter Lobby Lounge
round out the Hotel's cuisine and beverage offering. The Spa at
Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong is an urban oasis. From the
mother-of-pearl decorated Crystal Steam Room to the Ice Fountain
cool down area, Finnish sauna, Rhassoul chamber for rain showers
and a private vitality pool, eighteen treatment rooms and
additional manicure and pedicure rooms, The Spa offers the city's
ultimate sanctuary for relaxation and pampering. Whether guests
choose to stay at the hotel to conduct business, or want to host an
unforgettable event, the Hotel is equipped to meet their needs. Two
harbour-facing ballrooms with eight-metre windows plus seven
additional meeting rooms easily accommodate events large and small
with state-of-the-art facilities and personal attention to every
detail. An Executive Club floor with spectacular harbourside views
offers a relaxed and productive setting for business travellers
with complimentary amenities, 24-hour access to business and
concierge services, and use of private boardrooms. Four Seasons
Hotel Hong Kong joins Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai and Four Seasons
Hotel Beijing (now under construction) to offer unparalleled
service in China. The expanding Four Seasons Asian portfolio also
includes hotels in Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta
and Taipei, and resorts in Langkawi, Chiang Mai and Bali, with
additional properties currently in development throughout the
region. Dedicated to continuous innovation and the highest
standards of hospitality, Four Seasons invented luxury for the
modern traveller. From elegant surroundings of the finest quality,
to caring, highly personalised 24-hour service, Four Seasons
embodies a true "home away from home" for those who know and
appreciate the best. The deeply instilled Four Seasons culture is
personified in its employees - people who share a single focus and
are dedicated, highly skilled and inspired to offer great service.

expansion, opening hotels in major city centers and desirable
resort destinations around the world. Currently with 66 hotels in
