Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Leads the Luxury Travel Evolution
Maldives
PUBLISHED April 27, 2019
Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, the worlds leading luxury
hospitality company, unveils plans for an all-new Four Seasons Private Jet that
will take flight in early 2021, evoking the bygone glamour of air travel
coupled with thoughtful, guest-centric design.
A new A321LR aircraft, part of the new Airbus NEO family, is being
fully customised by Four Seasons and tailored to the continually evolving
vision of its industry-first Private Jet experience. The concepts
embodied in the current Four Seasons Jet, with its luxurious comforts and
amenities, are being taken to the next level with even more space for Private
Jet guests and staff to mix and mingle, or simply relax and enjoy the ride.
"The Four Seasons Private Jet experience defines modern luxury air
travel, encouraging meaningful connections between people and places while
delivering a seamless and highly personalised journey," says Christian Clerc,
President, Worldwide Hotel Operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.
"Building on the tremendous success of our Private Jet program to date, with
consistent sell outs, wait lists, and near perfect guest satisfaction rates, our
drive to continuously innovate and push the conventional limits of travel has
led to this new opportunity to experience Four Seasons like never before."
An Interactive Flight Experience
Built to replace the current aircraft, the new Four Seasons Private
Jet will offer an even more modern, enriching and interactive flight
experience, thanks to meticulous construction and thoughtful Four Seasons
design.
Offering the widest and tallest cabin in its class, key features
include a new spacious lounge area that invites socialising among guests, and
also becomes the stage for a series of Four Seasons artisans to showcase their
talents and craft in interactive workshops. Guests will have the
opportunity to meet and learn from Four Seasons master chefs and mixologists,
wellness experts and arts and culture aficionados for an enriching in-flight
experience.
With only 48 custom handcrafted seats designed by Optimares, with
leather from Italian producer Poltrona Frau, the spacious interior will also
allow guests to socialise more easily while seated. New purpose-built
personal ottomans at each seat will encourage interaction and comfortable
face-to-face connections. With every detail under consideration, lavatories are
also being expanded for added comfort and flexibility, reflecting a more residential
style.
The Evolution of Luxury Travel
"When designing the new Four Seasons Private Jet, we were inspired
by the glamour and prestige of air travel in times past, when every flight was
a special occasion," says Dana Kalczak, Four Seasons Vice President, Design.
"With a laser focus on comfort and functionality, our aim is to create an
environment that encourages spontaneous social interaction between everyone on
board, reinforcing the power of connection."
Culinary Delights
The on-board Four Seasons Executive Chef will enjoy an expanded
galley area in which to prepare menus that are inspired by the journey itself,
with the opportunity for spur-of-the-moment culinary surprises along the way.
The Executive Chef is joined by a full complement of dedicated Four
Seasons staff, including a Four Seasons Concierge, Director of Guest
Experience, Physician, and Four Seasons-trained in-flight crew, ensuring an
elevated and highly-personal experience that guests have come to expect from
Four Seasons.
What Isnt Changing? Four Seasons Private Jet guests will continue to enjoy the ultimate
freedom of travelling worry-free, knowing that every step of the journey - from
the accommodations and trip itinerary to the highly exclusive excursions and
local recommendations - will be looked after with the attention to detail,
