/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts announces
the grand opening of its newest hotel, an oasis of well-being just
outside Los Angeles, California. Featuring an expansive spa,
extensive meeting space, and myriad dining options, Four Seasons
Hotel Westlake Village, California is for those seeking relaxation,
a gourmet dining experience, or an ideal location for a meeting or
social occasion. "At every turn, guests will find something special
at Four Seasons," says Thomas Gurtner, regional vice president and
general manager, Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village. "From the
hundreds of trees and soothing waterfalls outdoors, to the
carefully selected antiques and striking accents indoors, it's an
environment that encourages well-being." Surrounded by nine acres
of landscaped gardens, Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village offers
270 guest rooms, a comprehensive spa with 28 treatment rooms, five
distinct dining options, and indoor and outdoor meeting space for
nine to 900; all technically state-of-the-art, and decorated in a
relaxed, sophisticated style. The ground-breaking California
WellBeing Institute offers an additional opportunity to experience
this property, the seventh in the Four Seasons California
Collection. Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village offers a full range
of options for travellers, including 26 suites and a
2,525-square-foot (235-sq-m) Presidential Suite. Showpiece
antiques, hand-painted murals, intricate Italian marble inlays and
semi-precious stone slabs accent the traditional decor. Outside, an
authentic Chinese pagoda, an orchid greenhouse, a dramatic
waterfall, an herb garden and boulders from the River Kwai are just
a few of the special features of the grounds. The
40,000-square-foot (3700-sq-m) Spa features four suites with
fireplaces and private outdoor plunge pools and 24 additional
treatment rooms for holistic therapies, massages and face and body
treatments incorporating Eastern philosophies with Western
sensibilities. A full fitness centre and two pools - indoors and
out - along with plenty of space outdoors for meditation, jogging
and exercise round out the activities available at Four Seasons
Hotel Westlake Village. The healthy approach extends into the
kitchens and dining rooms as Chef Sandro Gamba creates innovative
menus in a range of culinary styles - fine dining at Hampton's for
contemporary California cuisine; sushi and authentic Japanese
specialities at Onyx with its salt water aquarium and onyx and
carnelian accents; The Lobby Lounge for lunch gatherings, afternoon
tea and evening cocktails; and The Bar for billiards and libations.
A Spa Cafe offers refreshments to complement a day at The Spa or
Fitness Centre. Gatherings at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village
offer endless possibilities. In addition to an 11,600-square-foot
(1080-sqm) Grand Ballroom, nine smaller meeting rooms and
interesting options outside, the Hotel features a state-of-the-art
television studio with a 7,000-square-foot soundstage. Behind the
scenes, the glass-enclosed Chef's table is truly in the middle of
the action, right in the heart of the kitchen at Hampton's. Just 45
minutes northwest of Los Angeles International Airport or Burbank
Airport, and within 15 minutes of several private airfields,
Westlake Village is conveniently located off Highway 101 near the
Santa Monica Mountains in the Conejo Valley. California WellBeing
