Take Your Time with Four Seasons in 1 Minute, 1 Hour or 1 Day
Four Seasons reminds guests to take the time to connect with loved ones and discover the world with inspiring and timely experiences
TORONTO, April 9, 2019 /CNW/ -- The daily challenge of keeping up with the frenzied, fast- paced, and often impersonal nature of everyday life often leaves us craving real connection, in person and in real time. Each year, millions of vacation days go unused despite countless surveys and reports highlighting the universal desire for more vacation time. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, the world's leading luxury hospitality company, understands that time is the greatest luxury of all.
"At Four Seasons we know that life's responsibilities so often get in the way of life's pleasures," says Christian Clerc, President, Worldwide Hotel Operations. "Even if you can spare no more than just one hour, even a single minute, we have curated opportunities at Four Seasons properties worldwide that focus on spending more meaningful time with loved ones, forming new connections with the world around us, and getting reacquainted with one's self."
Take Your Time: Daily Discoveries is a new collection of property experiences that require no more than 1 Day, 1 Hour or even 1 Minute, and yet have the potential to create lasting memories through deeper connections with people, places and cultures. Ranging from safaris on land and sea to savouring the first bite of a local delicacy, Four Seasons Take Your Time experiences reflect the rich culture of each destination and the people that make them unique.
