MUMBAI, India, May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Four Seasons Hotels
and Resorts today opens the doors of its first property on the
Indian subcontinent: Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai. The Hotel's
33-storey gleaming glass tower enlivens the skyline of the city's
emerging Worli district and serves as an iconic reference to the
spirit of 'new' India. "It's a real privilege to be planting the
Four Seasons flag in India," said Armando Kraenzlin, General
Manager. "Mumbai is a big opening for the group and the Hotel is in
an exciting part of town. It sets new standards in the city for
luxury and service and is sure to challenge many Western
preconceptions of what India has to offer." The Hotel's 202 rooms
and suites comprise the most spacious guest accommodation in
Mumbai, showcasing views of the city skyline, Mahalaxmi Racecourse
or Arabian Sea through floor to ceiling windows. The Hotel brings
two exciting restaurants to Worli. San Qi (three energies) has been
designed as a contemporary 'food theatre', inviting guests and
local residents alike on an eclectic, culinary journey through the
three energies at the heart of Asian cuisine - Japanese, Wok and
Tandoor. Prato serves Italian cuisine in a stylish setting complete
with spacious al fresco terrace overlooking the Hotel's lawn and
gardens. The Hotel facilitates international business with over
500m(2) of indoor meeting and function space, a highly efficient
24hr Business Centre, unparalleled Concierge services and a fleet
of 20 BMW 7-Series limousines. In addition, the top floor "The
Club" on the 33rd floor, offers its Members an exclusive selection
of meeting and dining venues, innovative life-style facilities and
access to the most influential networking in town. The two-storey
Spa, opening mid year, will offer traditional Ayurvedic therapies
and western treatments in a contemporary setting featuring eight
treatment rooms (including one couple suite and a VIP suite), wet
areas, Chi Studio (accommodating yoga, meditation and aerobic
activities), pool, gym, relaxation lounge and Rossano Ferretti
salon. The Hotel has made every effort to remain sensitive to the
unique cultural, social and economic needs of the local community.
Major festivals will be celebrated both inside and outside and
senior members of staff have been learning to speak Hindi. The
Hotel has also launched The Hospitality Apprenticeship Programme -
a two year vocational training course intent on equipping young
people from the local neighbourhood with the skills and knowledge
necessary to be competitive in the hospitality industry. "We want
to ensure that the Hotel has a positive impact, not only on its
guests and the local business community but also on those
communities in its immediate vicinity," explained Kraenzlin.
