One of Only Four Canadian Hotels to Achieve this Recognition
Vancouver, BC - The 56th annual Forbes Travel Guide Star Awards' top picks for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas includes the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver as the proud recipient of the prestigious five star rating.
The Forbes
five star rating is a coveted honour awarded to the best of the best;
this year Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver is among only four Canadian
hotels receiving the highly
esteemed nod of approval. Sending out undercover inspectors to stay at
the selected hotels and grade them on points including service,
atmosphere and amenities provides Forbes with an impartial ruling of the guest experience.
The distinguishing aspect between four star and five star hotels as per Forbes
is predominantly service, a quality that Four Seasons Hotels and
Resorts has always prided itself on. To achieve five star status hotels
must "provide a
memorable experience through virtually flawless service and the finest
of amenities and delivery of service that is intuitive, engaging and
passionate, and eagerly goes beyond expectations."
"Achieving this five-star rating is nothing short of
spectacular," shares Robert Cima, Regional Vice-President and General
Manager of the Hotel. "For me personally, it is a highlight of my
30-year career with Four Seasons. For the property, it is the highest
praise possible in the hotel industry and confirmation that, as a team,
we are doing things right, with passion and purpose."
The Forbes magazine five-star ranking goes hand-in-hand with FORTUNE magazine's recent recognition of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts as one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For" for the 17th consecutive year.
The importance of high-quality service at Four Seasons Hotels
and Resorts is attributed to founder Isadore Sharp who mused that the
service provided by a hotel is the single principle that transcends
time, geography, religion and culture to create a successful
relationship with guests. What's more, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts
aren't just focused on the services they offer, but rather concentrate
on how the service is imparted.
