Since opening the doors to its Yorkville location in 2012, the global flagship property remains an innovative leader and trendsetter in the luxury hospitality space. To celebrate the milestone, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto will honour its history by unveiling month-long programming consisting of exclusive offers, dining experiences, a commemorative black-tie affair and its largest sweepstakes yet.
The 2012 opening introduced the city of Toronto to chef Daniel Boulud's modern French brasserie Café Boulud and his street-level bar and lounge d|bar. Toasting 10 years of gastronomy, on Tuesday, October 11, Café Boulud hosted a one-night-only collaboration dinner helmed by Chef Daniel and three global culinary masters—Yoric Tièche, executive chef of Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant Le Cap, Massimo Mantarro, award-winning executive chef of Sicilian fine-dining restaurant Principe Cerami, as well as Yudith Bustos, the talented executive pastry chef of LAW.
On October 12th, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto hosted an invitation-only black-tie celebration. Cleverly playing on the city's four seasons, the extravagant event was a nod to spring, summer, autumn and winter through decor, floral installations, entertainment and seasonally-inspired culinary masterpieces. Chef Daniel and the visiting masters each created a show-stopping station. Notable Toronto business leaders, public figures, media moguls and creators were in attendance.
"Toronto is where Four Seasons was born, and this Hotel, as we see it, is at the heart of the brand's continued innovation and success," says Isadore Sharp, founder and chairman of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "I am proud to call this property home and it's an honour to both witness and be part of the unique magic the team here continues to create, that I know will carry on into the next decade and beyond."
Throughout October, guests can enjoy Four Seasons with two all-encompassing packages, A Decade of Luxury and A Decade of Tranquility. As the festivities draw to a close, the flagship will host its 10 Days of Giveaways via Instagram. With a combined approximate retail value of CAD 40,000, prizes range from private dining experiences and trips to the spa to overnight stays in Dubai, London, New York, Orlando, Maui, Paris, Montreal and Whistler. Concluding the giveaway is the ultimate grand prize, a Four Seasons Signature Sleep Set with a mattress and mattress topper, a sheet set, duvet, duvet cover set and down feather pillows.
"Milestones as significant as this are best celebrated with the people dedicated to our growth and achievements from day one, and we organized these month-long festivities to do just that," says Patrick Pollak, general manager, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto. "This property is special to many, not just our employees but Torontonians and guests around the world. It was our goal to ensure everyone, no matter how near or far, feels they are a part of the ten-year anniversary celebrations."
