Speaker 2 (01:12):
So I want to talk about this new partnership that
you all have with Lucid. So the partnership with Lucid,
you know, it's a fantastic way to offer such a
unique experience for guests. But beyond a luxury amenity, what
do you hope this collaboration communicates about the Four Seasons
brands to all these guests and visitors.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Well, thank you for asking gives. Beginning this luxury amenity,
we will part of begond Our commitment is to provide
the best guest experience. Right, I get parts of the
promise of our brand, but we are also committed to
UH preserving and regenerating the environment and leaving a pacitive
(01:59):
and during impact on our local community. So Four Seasons
has a global program that is for Seasons are for
Goods and this UH. This program is centered around two pillars,
which is the planet UH which is all our environmental
environmental impact, and the people which is a social impact.
(02:20):
So with the UH, with this new partnership like this
is part of our environmental environmental programs. Having the lucid
air it is available for our guests is just one
of the examples that we have. And we also have
a high red Lolux resident that is available to all
guests on our first surfaces for drop offs within a
(02:42):
file mile.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Radius of the hotels.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
So this is one among other programs that we have
that also includes uh the waste reduction, energy, carbon and
water reduction among those other community innovation, uh another community
that we also have.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yes, and I think that's a beautiful thing, and that
just shows the Four Seasons commitment to innovation but also sustainability.
You know, that's a huge thing our environment. You know,
we're seeing a lot of changes going on, Gabby, So
we definitely appreciate the fact that the Four Seasons is
really taking stride in helping preserve our world, helping preserve
(03:22):
the planet.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, totally. And as mentioned that it's only one of
the many examples that we have because gifts, we definitely
are committed they do have an impact on will in
our local communities.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yes, yes, Now the lusider is available for guests to
take on like their own self guided adventures so to speak,
and then throughout the city.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But can you tell.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Us a little bit about the concierge curated driving routes
and what makes them so special for visitors?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Absolutely well, part of the it's sen a great experience
because I mean we I won't feel like we are
one of the ones that offered that experience. Having a
current a complimentary basis for for hours, but definitely like
the designer and technology seamlessly aligned with the elevated experience
(04:12):
that for seasons is known for. So part of the
recommendation sometimes that our concierge recommends for our gifts. For instance,
for all the ones for the foody, social workers and
organ explorers, we recommend UH driving around a buckhead poncy
the market the Bell Line, which usually the expert time
(04:34):
is two and a half to three hours, and of
course visiting Bucket it is just CRUs through atlantae of
scale district and shopping cheap dining spots UH Palm City Market.
We also know that it's a trendy foothold shops, rooftop
views and driver work along the Atlanta Bell Line is
(04:55):
one of the most when you visit the city right
and cruise back through the dismal part can pitch street
streets for kind and view. That's one of the most
common recommendation that we have. But also we recommend people
to visit the Land Botanical Garden or Virginia Highland and
which also is like approximately like three hours explore time
(05:18):
for our guests and well, we basically try to guide
our guests depending on what they're aiming sextore right, like
if they are food, is they're looking into our child
dies or just just shopping, we kind of guide them
through that. And of course the Lucid offers like a
very an amazing experience, right.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yes, And I mean just the design just I haven't
seen that in person, but just to see the designs,
they're so slick and just so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'm like, wow, it looks very futuristic.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, no, and insight it's a precious cabin is it
has like this minimalist design and very immersive technology really
creates a sereena refined environment. So the platform also, I
mean it's very it's.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Very it's not very complicated, honestly, and I mean this
collaboration sort of positions the Lucid Air as a really
fitting companion for the modern urban retreat. And how do
you see that, you know, like we're going into the
design and some of the advanced technology, how do you
see that advancing the overall guest experience, you know at
(06:31):
the four seasons.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Well, I mean through that platform it also steaks to
more and looks very values, right, the sustainability for performance
and personalization so together, between the Lucid and the Four Seasons,
we just not offer transportation but a thoughtful, coercive journey
(06:56):
that definitely begins at the curb and continues through every moment.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
The guests.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Love that, and of course the Four Seasons is known
for it. It's exceptional service.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Shout out to all the staff at Barmargo because every
time I go, and we were talking about this before, Gabby,
I am in.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Love with the Brussels crowds. Oh my gosh, I have
to get them. Every time.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I'm like, I'm in like full makeup. I'm like, as
soon as I'm done, I'm gonna go hit the bar.
I gotta put in order.
Speaker 1 (07:27):

Speaker 3 (07:33):

We have this amazing bar. Yes, the Brussels Sprouts books
and you can also try.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
It's very very easy for just to enjoy uh the.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Magnetic advibes that will say like from from the bar
right And one of the most popular and most asked
items is a burger I believe it or not, like
it really we love it. We hear that a lot
from our from our gifts and of course, like you
can never miss just a dinner at our very well
(08:10):
and only Brasser Remargo, our French Inspire restaurants. We have
several like French classics, but also we offer uh fresh
seafood and just variety of a stake options.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And given the growing interest in electric cars, how important
is it for the Four Seasons to lead with eco
conscious initiatives like this one?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I would say that having integrating the lucid Air into
our fleet, it's important for four Seasons because it replasts
our commitment to sustainability and responsible luxory. It aligns with
the values of many of our gifts. We seek not
just comfort, but also conscious experiences. These initiative compliments our goals.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
That I mentioned earlier, like part of our global program
that is forts for good, right, reducing our carbon footbrinqutbrin will,
delivering exceptional service.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, yeah, I definitely agree with that. And this partnership
is a really bold step. I don't think anybody else
is doing well for Seasons. Atlanta's doing right now, Gabby,
all right, so this is a this is a this
is a pretty bold step. But you guys are known
for doing things boldly in your own step, in your
own way, So are there any plans to possibly expand
(09:40):
this collaboration. Are we going to see other things pop
up as far as like sustainability, as far as Lucid
and the Lucid experience.
