“We are very excited to welcome Jeff to our team as we elevate the guest experience to an entirely new – and beautiful – level with his artistic floral creations,” says Ben Shank, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia. “As we look ahead to our opening next year, we have been very focused on innovation and establishing the ultimate experience for our guests, two principles to which Jeff is also deeply committed.”
Leatham began his relationship with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts nearly 25 years ago at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, where he continues to oversee the Hotel’s floral style. In 1999, while it was still under renovation, he joined the team at the soon-to-be Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, where, as Artistic Director, Leatham conceived what was to become the Hotel’s signature style with its bold and innovative floral concepts. His ground-breaking style continues to set the standard for floral art on a global scale.
“I’m very excited by this opportunity to work with a hotel that promises to be cutting edge in its service and technology, and to be able to provide the important elements of nature and beauty found in floral art,” says Leatham. “I can’t wait to share my passion for floral design with both visitors to the city, and the people of Philadelphia.”
Joining Leatham on the Philadelphia team is Eduardo Verdi, who will be the Resident Floral Designer at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia as they collaborate on designs for the Hotel. A special focus for the Leatham floral designers will be consulting with clients on corporate and social events at the Hotel.
With more than 15 years of experience working with many of the world’s leading designers, Eduardo Verdi is one of the country’s top floral experts, having brought his deep knowledge and love for design from his native Brazil. A key member of the Leatham team since 2014, Verdi has collaborated in high profile events such as Sofia Vergara’s wedding and Kardashian-Jenner family celebrations.
