Four Seasons opens at DIFC

The second Four Seasons Hotel has opened at the Dubai International Financial Centre. At eight stories and with just 106 guest accommodations, Four Seasons Hotel DIFC is redefining the very meaning of luxury.

Situated in the pedestrianfriendly DIFC — home to global corporations as well as art galleries, shops, restaurants and night clubs — Four Seasons is the perfect pied-à-terre for those with frequent business in the UAE, an ideal base from which to experience Dubai’s myriad amusements and diversions, and with its expert concierge team, a great starting point for a first-time visitor to the city.

“People who come to Dubai have often travelled the world, experienced the best of everything, and have extremely high expectations — at Four Seasons, our role is that of facilitator, to anticipate and exceed, to personalise and to delight in ways that mean the most to our guests,” says Carlo Stragiotto, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotel DIFC. Most recently posted at the legendary Four Seasons Hotel Milano, the multi-lingual Stragiotto views his team of 200 carefully chosen staff as personal guest assistants whose mission is to make business travel more productive and leisure time more rewarding.

Every aspect of Four Seasons Hotel DIFC has been conceived with flexibility in mind. “No matter the hour of your arrival, the fullness of your schedule and the length of your mustsee list, Four Seasons transforms itself into your own personal hotel,” says Stragiotto.

It begins upon arrival, with two separate access points – one at street level for those arriving by car or heading out into the city, and the other opening into the pedestrian walkways of DIFC. In the upper lobby, Penrose Lounge welcomes hotel guests as well as local businesspeople and shoppers for cocktails, tea and light fare into the late hours.

The Hotel has also created an exclusive haven for in-house guests just off the lower lobby - a flexible space where guests can host business meetings, or even set up an impromptu workstation for the day. Light bites and refreshments are also available. The Monogram Lounge is open daily until 1 am, and is available for private events or meetings.
