FOUR SEASONS CELEBRATES WORLD KINDNESS DAY WITH FOOD AT THE HEART

Guided by the Golden Rule and the company's Four Seasons for Good program, Four Seasons remains committed to fostering meaningful connections while actively supporting local communities. Building on the success of last year's World Kindness Day initiative, which raised over USD 350,000 for more than 50 charities worldwide, this year's theme, Food at the Heart, will see select hotels and resorts offering limited-edition gâteaux and unique culinary experiences to celebrate the brand's dedication to culinary excellence and kindness. Proceeds from each property's gâteau and culinary experiences will support non-profits that provide food for those in need.

"Through our global Four Seasons for Good efforts, we strive to build connections that extend beyond our properties, showcasing how even the smallest gestures can have a profound impact," says Marc Speichert, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Four Seasons. "Kindness is at the heart of every Four Seasons experience, and this World Kindness Day and throughout the festive season, we invite everyone to participate in sharing sweet treats and acts of kindness, inspiring empathy and care in our communities."

Culinary Celebrations of Kindness

Each act of kindness is designed to inspire others to embrace the spirit of World Kindness Day and the festive season while supporting local organizations that focus on food in the communities Four Seasons serves. Here's how some Four Seasons hotels and resorts will bring this generosity to life:

Limited Edition Gâteaux
Available from World Kindness Day (November 13) through the festive season, these handcrafted gâteaux offer a sweet way to give back. At Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon, Chef Diogo Lopes will introduce the Heartfelt Forest Gâteau, with proceeds supporting Associação DariAcordar. Four Seasons Hotel Toronto will debut Chef Kevin Levionnois' Heartfelt Hazelnut Chocolate Gâteau, benefiting Second Harvest. Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River will present Chef Andrea Bonaffini's Celebration Gâteau, and Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay will offer Chef David Peduzzi's Bliss Cocoa Raspberry Gâteau, with both proceeds benefiting Scholars of Sustenance.

Signature Culinary Experiences
Aligning with the theme of Food at the Heart, select Four Seasons hotels and resorts will offer signature culinary experiences, with proceeds benefiting local charities. Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane will support the StreetSmart campaign, inviting diners at Pavyllon London to donate voluntarily to fight homelessness and food poverty. At Coin & Candor in Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, a portion of each signature Wagyu Steak Tartare sold will go to Manna Food Bank to support underserved communities. At Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, Mexico, a portion of proceeds from all Tamarindo packaged coffee sold will be donated to The Tamarindo International School.

Local Volunteer Initiatives
Four Seasons hotels and resorts are also strengthening community bonds through acts of kindness.
