There is no opening date on the books right now for 2016. At least not according to head office. declinespecificinformation should probably not count on FS being open, but if it is hopefully with a great opening rate!

Thanks! As luck would have it, if it opened on Nov 15 we'd miss it by days. Still a little ambivalent about Kyoto since we have a flight departing NRT at 11:00 AM. That's an early wake-up!

The new font looks way more traditional, to avoid the term old. I prefer the previous logo. What is interesting though is the fact that they now sometimes put "Hotels and Resorts" under the actual logo, in a very sleek font (something like Helvetica Neue). Sort of what Bulgari has been trying to do. Would not have seen this approach coming from Four Seasons.

I got op-upped from a basic city view king room to a premier one-bedroom suite at the 4S in Miami. I have no idea why I got this lucky. This room is twice the size, if not more, of my apartment in Manhattan.
Wow!!
Wow!!

I first thought the new logo was simply a rendering error on the website.

This new design consciousness is down to President, Chris Norton, who is very much the new broom at Four Seasons. He is also using a raft of new interior designers, such as Jean-Michel Gathy.

I like the new serif face used for the logo and for the names of the hotels. Interestingly, they use a sans serif for FIND A HOTEL OR RESORT.

I still think the logo on the website looks odd. However, since I've seen it on paper and in various other publications now many times, it is growing on me. The main problem is: the website logo is very bad quality and these new generation Retina displays are merciless.
The new approach is definitely lifestyle oriented, but why not? ^

New Four Seasons proposed for Minneapolis
A developer has announced plans for a mixed use new high-rise building in downtown Minneapolis, at about Nicollet Avenue and Third Street (in a block that's currently a surface parking lot, near the iconic modern former Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis building) that will include a Four Seasons hotel, private residences, a parking garage, and a top restaurant.
The location looks to me like it will not be connected to the skyway. It would be about two blocks from the light rail line.

I'm hoping that FS will find ways to get into the tough Caribbean market.
