Leading luxury hospitality company Four Seasons continues to set the standard for culinary excellence globally, celebrating its latest award wins in style and inviting guests to join in the excitement.
Following the June 5 announcement of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, SÉZANNE, the esteemed French culinary gem at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi, secured the 15th spot on the prestigious list. Earlier this year, SÉZANNE also claimed the #1 position in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants and the distinguished title of Best Restaurant in Japan for 2024.
Our restaurants and bars are the heartbeat of our hotels. Not only do they enhance the stay experience and foster memorable moments for our guests, they also serve as an anchor to the community, as a place for connection and camaraderie,” says President, Global Operations, Hotels and Resorts, Four Seasons. “We are so proud of everything our teams around the world have accomplished. Through our consistent pursuit of culinary innovation and a most caring service team, we continue to elevate our brand and drive industry leadership.”
With more Michelin stars across its global portfolio than any other luxury hospitality brand, Four Seasons debuted two new projects with one Michelin star each in the past year. Pavyllon London, the first London restaurant from multi-Michelin-starred Chef Yannick Alléno, located within Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, received its first star just six months after opening. Auro, situated at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley and led by Executive Chef Rogelio Garcia, was recognized as the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Calistoga, California.
“This industry recognition is the product of our incredibly talented craftspeople across the globe and is a true testament to our team’s commitment to culinary excellence,” says Philipp Blaser, Senior Vice President, Food and Beverage, Four Seasons. “These category-defining restaurants and bars are culinary institutions that drive the industry conversation around tradition, excellence, modernity, and sustainability.”
