Our objective is to treat our clients with the same warm and personalized service with which we treat our guests, said Wolf Hengst, president, worldwide hotel operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.

Miner, Senior Manager, Corporate Events for Sara Lee Corporation. At Four Seasons, there is a consistency of talent and product, and I have come to expect and receive a willing positive attitude, attention to detail, marvelous accommodations, superior food and presentation and exceptional service from every department.
