RIYADH — As Ramadan nears, Four Seasons held a press conference at its headquarters in Riyadh about preparation for Ramadan tent.
“Four Seasons is considered specifically in Riyadh for being the market leader when it comes to Ramadan experience. And more so, every year for almost 15 years now, we continue to innovate and maintain this significant market position. It needs combined effort, the reality is that we have lots more to offer than ever before” Rolf Lippuner, General Manager of Four Seasons, said.
He added that they have room offerings every year since 15 years for Ramadan. “ Every year, we put a room offer into the market place. And this year, we have special room offerings to ensure that our guests truly enjoy the stay and Ramadan Iftar and Suhoor in a very warm atmosphere,” he said.
He further said the Chef’s table concept which was launched for the very first time last year is more of a customized culinary experience for Ramadan.
“Here, we offer more services such as the direct contact to the guest with our executive chef who creates very special dishes that are changed every night,” he said.
Due to the popularity of the chef’s table concept last year, Four Seasons increased the space from 100 to 240 available seats for Chef’s table this year.
They noticed really incredible love – from Saudis and non-Saudis - for Saudi heritage, its artwork, cultural elements as well as for its food. “The reality of how well we will interpret this year’s Ramadan is that we will enhance our Suhoor offerings in our restaurants and here specifically we are going to bring more Saudi heritage into the Suhoor experience. There will be different dishes from different cities and provinces across the Kingdom,” he emphasized.
The restaurants will be decorated with Saudi antiques and cultural elements but in a modern way that can combine the past and present in one place.
Tarek Bekhiet, Regional Director of Marketing at Four Seasons, said every year, they innovate and enhance their services. “This year, we have a special reception for guests who come to the Chef’s table. We will put very unique services and dishes that can make this experience unforgettable.
Also, we added wonderful enhancements to the kids area where they can have their meals, and play with our trained supervisors. We want the entire family to be extremely happy. Furthermore, we made plans in order to avoid congestions during Iftar and Suhoor times,” he noted.
