TORONTO, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With three of Michelin’s most prominent guides unveiled in January, the exceptional restaurants of Four Seasons are embracing a new year and a renewed commitment to excellence. Sparkling under 27 Michelin stars across 19 restaurants, Four Seasons maintains the most Michelin Stars of any single luxury hospitality brand.

«There’s no question that the past year has brought unprecedented challenges to the culinary world and the broader hospitality industry – but through these difficult times, we grow stronger and adapt to deliver on our commitment to quality and excellence,» says Christian Clerc, President, Global Operations.  «Our Chefs and culinary teams around the world are continually evolving in order to find creative ways to offer our guests the best possible dining experiences. This year’s Michelin Guides reflect the passionate spirit, innovation and resilience that prevails throughout our kitchens and dining rooms worldwide.»

From chefs and kitchen teams to sommeliers and mixologists, Four Seasons employees have found new and creative ways to offer Michelin-starred experiences, whether on site, to go, or even in the comfort of one’s own home. For example, on New Year’s Eve, Parisians had the opportunity to dine on a multi-course menu prepared by the chefs of Le Cinq***, paired with wines from the legendary cellar of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris.  In Hong Kong, Chef Chan Yan Tak’s famous puddings from Lung King Heen*** are available for takeout to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and Florentines can enjoy a romantic dinner for two from Il Palagio* for Valentine’s Day, with surprise touches to create a memorable evening at home.

Elsewhere around the world, Four Seasons restaurants are offering myriad options for takeout and delivery, off-site catering, and everyday enjoyment at home or on the go. Whether taking out or dining in, guests can take comfort that the enhanced Four Seasons global health and safety program, Lead With Care, is implemented at every step of the guest and employee journey.

2021 Michelin Stars at Four Seasons

The highly anticipated Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau was announced on January 27, 2021, once again distinguishing Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong as a global culinary leader, with an impressive eight stars under one roof, the most of any hotel in Hong Kong. Chef Chan Yan Tak’s Lung King Heen*** proved again why it was the world’s first Chinese restaurant to earn three stars; Caprice***, the haute French dining experience lead by Chef Guillaume Galliot also maintained its stars, while celebrating Caprice Bar’s entry into Asia’s 50 Best Bars thanks to the creativity of Four Seasons Beverage Ambassador Lorenzo Antinori; and Sushi Saito** continues to sparkle under two stars (Chef Masashi Kubota). Dirk Haltenhof is the Hotel’s Executive Chef, and Chef Ringo Chan leads the Hotel’s pastry team.

At Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Zi Yat Heen* (Chef Cheung Chi Choi) also retained its standing in the new Michelin Guide.

On the other side of the globe, the new edition of the original Michelin Guide was unveiled in France on January 18, 2021, with Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris leading the way once again with a total of five stars. Le Cinq*** maintained its standing under the visionary leadership of Chef Christian Le Squer (also the Hotel’s Executive Chef); as did Le George* with Chef Simone Zanoni continuing to promote sustainable culinary practices, as well as L’Orangerie*, helmed by Chef Alan Taudon. Chef Michael Bartocetti leads the Hotel’s pastry team, while Eric Beaumard oversees both the Le Cinq dining room and the historic wine cellar. Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris is the only Palace hotel in Europe to have five Michelin stars across three restaurants.

Also in France, Chef Yoric Tièche has once again placed Le Cap* at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel on the cutting edge of gastronomy, while Chef Nicolas Hensinger’s Prima* at Les Chalets du Mont d’Arbois, A Four Seasons Hotel also retained its place in the Michelin Guide.

The 2021 Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland was revealed on January 25, 2021, with La Dame de Pic London** at Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square once again earning two stars.  Last year, it was announced that Chef Anne-Sophie Pic – the first female chef to earn three Michelin stars – has also partnered with Four Seasons Hotel Megève to create a new concept and menu at Le 1920 – La Dame de Pic, which currently has Michelin’s Plate distinction.

Additional Recent Announcements from the Michelin Guide

Il Lago* (Chef Massimiliano Sena) at Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva currently holds one star, with the 2021 Guide for the region expected soon.  The Michelin Guide announced earlier in 2020 that the California and Singapore Guides would be delayed; CUT* at Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel (Chef Hilary Henderson) and Jiang-Nan Chun* (Chef Albert Au) at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore each have one Michelin star.

OXNARD, Calif., Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As discerning travelers continue their search for much-needed experiences in the great outdoors amid changing travel habits, Bowlus, the world leader in performance luxury recreation vehicles, has provided a sophisticated solution with the release of the new Terra Firma model. The limited-edition travel trailer will feature enhancements including complex air and water filtration systems, pet-friendly accoutrements — such as remote temperature monitor and in-design bowls — as well as the addition of a smart brake controller, touch-screen power management, GPS tracking, 60-Second Hitch™ capabilities and an all-new ultra-comfort interior.

The unique aluminum teardrop shape of Bowlus travel trailers, paired with the latest technology and unparalleled craftsmanship using yacht-quality components, has made the brand the industry leader in carefree luxury land travel. The Bowlus Terra Firma edition is the evolution of the Bowlus story.

Pricing for the Bowlus Terra Firma begins at $265,000 and orders are currently being accepted for 2022.

«We are persistently working to find new ways to elevate the luxury land travel experience with elements that effortlessly enhance life’s precious moments,» said Geneva Long, Founder and CEO of Bowlus. «The Terra Firma edition continues the Bowlus tradition of bringing new technologies to the RV industry without adding more technology for technology’s sake.»

Terra Firma, which from Latin translates roughly to «solid earth» or «dry land,» is a reflection of the Bowlus philosophy grounded in sustainability, quality, performance, and uniqueness, with an eye for authenticity of design. The limited model also continues the Bowlus tradition of custom editions with bespoke flair, which have previously included the Lithium+, Artisanal Angler, and The Wave editions.

Exterior
Every Bowlus model begins as a hand-welded spaceframe, shaped from aluminum tubing by Bowlus artisans within 1/64th of an inch. Eighty panels of polished, high-strength aerospace aluminum are then meticulously fastened to the frame by more 5,000 aircraft-grade rivets, each scrutinized to meet aerospace specifications to be within 2/1000″ of the specification — approximately half the thickness of a human hair. Craftworkers then spend more than 100 hours polishing the exterior so the shell can get its iconic, mirror-bright reflection.

Based on the successful Endless Highways Performance Edition platform, the Terra Firma model includes as-standard two huge skylights in the main cabin and an outdoor kitchen ready setup, with electrical and propane outlets, which can additionally provide an emergency micro-charge to your electric vehicle.

The Bowlus shape always delivers superior performance with very safe road handling characteristics and, with a weight of under 3,200 lbs., it can be towed by the widest variety of vehicles of any travel trailer, including electric vehicles (EVs).

Since every Bowlus is personal, clients’ chosen names are also emblemized on the fender skirts just before delivery as a finishing touch.

Technology
Bowlus only embraces newness of technology when it speaks explicitly to the brand’s user group — the luxury land traveler — a segment in which Bowlus has long pioneered.

As the virtual world continues to consume a predominant position in many people’s lives, user-centric technology that improves customers’ lives has become an integral pillar of the Bowlus experience.

The Terra Firma edition presents a collection of new technological features. First, the inclusion of a smart brake controller for the triple-axis, motion-sensing accelerometer, provides highly responsive, smooth braking to any tow vehicle without any modifications. Also added for the Terra Firma edition is a user-intuitive touch screen panel displaying an instant overview of the proprietary Bowlus Power Management System, allowing settings to adjust intuitively and simply.

Looking ahead toward client’s changing needs during travel experiences, the Terra Firma also includes the addition of HEPA air filters, UVC lighting for disinfecting, and a freshwater filtration system to instill confidence and peace-of-mind.

Also, the inclusion of The 60 Second Hitch™ offers the easiest hitching (and most user-friendly) experience of any RV, and the debut of «Find My Bowlus» GPS tracking adds a level of security and peace of mind, allow chosen users to access one’s location to anticipate arrivals or view trip status to coordinate off-grid camping with friends and family.

The Terra Firma continues the incredible battery power introduced in the Endless Highways Performance Edition, boasting a lithium-iron-phosphate power system with 8 kWh offering up to two weeks of «off-grid» living without an external power source — twice the battery power compared to the original Endless Highways model. This impressive system rapidly charges in three to four hours and also includes heated floors for incomparable comfort during all four seasons.

Regarding the Bowlus Power Management System, by being connected via Bluetooth and the internet, the entire power management system can be managed remotely with adjustments easily accessible from a smartphone application. This includes dozens of silent heating settings along remote access to activate the heated floor system in advance of entry. Plus, with all outlets live at all times, conveniences such as the air conditioner and microwave are available for use without an outside power source.

Additionally, one will never find themselves stranded during a zero-emissions road trip with a Bowlus, as an external 110V outlet additionally can give an emergency micro-charge to an electric vehicle. With a full battery, this could extend EV SUVs currently on the market for up to 16 miles.

Interior
All Bowlus interiors are a luxurious palette of colors and textures, and the Terra Firma edition is no exception. The interiors are thoughtfully curated with fabrics that are transformed into designer seating and bedding by a brilliant seamstress team.

The new Terra Firma color story oozes with the relaxed vibe that comes with a lazy late afternoon watching a spectacular sunset. The Bowlus Terra Firma is about using color and details that build on a feeling of ultra-comfort. In the main cabin, seating in Field color is accented with piping in Open Sky. This grounding color story carries through with luxurious flooring and a stateroom featuring beautifully striped duvets and elegant headboards in Open Sky.

New for the Terra Firma is also the inclusion of the ultimate in Pet-Flex. With remote temperature monitoring, feeding bowls that slide out seamlessly from a drawer, and a personalized canine bed, every family member is comfortably included in the experience. For the first time, pet owners can feel confident that their pet is sitting comfortably with the assurance of temperature control why one is away from their Bowlus and their pet is resting.

The Terra Firma flexible environment allows one to concentrate on their personal narrative, be it an adrenaline-fueled adventure or a peaceful desert retreat. In this tradition, Bowlus also offers two distinctive Bespoke Customization Programs for those looking to add their personal touch and style to their interior. With each program, Chief Designer and CEO Geneva Long will work with clients to personalize their Bowlus from more than fifty-six million possible interior design combinations. As standard, all Bowlus models also include a hotel-style en suite bathroom and spacious, Zen-like bedroom, able to convert from two twin beds to an incredible king, accommodating all travel companions.

Length: 25 ft. 9 in.
Width: 80 in.

Interior Height: 6 ft. 4 in.
Sleeps and Dines: 4
Hitch Weight: 300 lbs.

About Bowlus
Bowlus history stretches back almost 90 years, with fascinating origins as the creation of designer, engineer and aircraft builder Hawley Bowlus. With his background in aviation, Bowlus completed construction on the first aluminum riveted travel trailer in 1934, based on his determination to design and build a lightweight travel trailer that could transport flight crews to remote takeoff locations. The iconic design has been reimagined for the 21st Century by Geneva Long, Founder and CEO of Bowlus, who began conceptualizing the return of the Bowlus brand while at the Wharton School. Geneva’s passion Bowlus combines her love for adventure with the challenge of creating meaningful user-centered, sustainable design. For more information, visit: https://bowlus.com/

NAPLES, Italy, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A few years ago, Focus Magazine participated in an urban speleology expedition organized with the Naples Underground Association. Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea), lead by Founder and President Vincenzo Albertini, has been involved in exploring and conserving the subsoil of the city for years and has ensured that this geological feature still stands, functionally today. Here are some of the trinkets of knowledge that they picked up along the way.

From a geological perspective, Naples is one of a kind in the world as it is bedded on top of a thick layer of yellow tuff, which was the result of nearby volcanoes in Campi Flegrei, thousands of years ago. This eruption resulted in a cool, soft rock that proves easy to extract and manipulate. It was then in the fourth century BC that the Greeks founded the city of Neapolis and opened tuff quarries to procure blocks and materials suitable for building.

Under the expert lead of Vincenzo Albertini, Focus magazine explores the Naples of today, in particular that square between via della Sapienza, via dei Tribunali, San Biagio dei librai and corso Umberto, which rests on the old medieval city. They discovered that from an unassuming room, you can go down through a trap door into the Roman theater where Nero sang and played the lyre. Across from the nearby Piazza San Gaetano one can then make their way beneath the surface, into a system of galleries and cisterns from the Greek and Roman era. This finally leads to large rooms or bunkers that, during the last world war, were converted into air-raid shelters, complete with electricity.

Many tunnels in Naples were filled with the treasures of war, smuggled cigarettes and remains of criminal activity of old, however, just a few steps from Piazza San Gaetano, in the church of Purgatorio ad Arco, another unique adventure of mystery awaits, descending into the afterlife. Here one can find a large mass grave where, in a layer 50 feet deep, rest the remains of one and a half million people.

Since their visit, The Municipality of Naples has opened this mass grave to the public as a historical monument of compassion. Here, one can see 40 thousand skulls in a row, one on top of the other. It was here that the society found a sort of return to ancient religion as many people considered these skulls to be souls in purgatory which provided the assistance of ancestors, while they were still living.

Finally, Vicenzo Albertini leaves the Focus team with the closing explanation that, «It was in the First World War and then in the Second that, with so many missing … in the concentration camps, the custom of adopting a «cap ‘e mort» spread … The purpose was to communicate, through the skull of a stranger, with the soul of a loved one, to have news of him.»

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In one of his first initiatives as Sandals Resorts International’s Executive Chairman, Adam Stewart has announced the creation of The Gordon «Butch» Stewart Tourism & Hospitality Scholarship, fostering the power of education to develop the next generation of Caribbean tourism leaders in honor of the Honorable Gordon «Butch» Stewart O.J, C.D, Hon. LLD.

«My father fiercely believed in the power of possibility; he understood and celebrated the ability of people to rise above their potential and accomplish great things,» said Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International. «This scholarship’s core mission is to ensure a strong future for the Caribbean hotel industry by fueling the talent pipeline with opportunity – a true reflection of my father’s passion for the region and its potential.  That’s why I am delighted to honor his memory and the example he set by empowering our team members to dream big and dream bright.»

Funded through contributions raised by the Sandals Foundation, the brand’s non-profit philanthropic arm aimed at making a difference in the lives of the Caribbean people, the eponymous scholarship is available to full-time team members who will be evaluated based on their financial needs, personal attributes, and success in their current role. Working alongside the esteemed Sandals Corporate University (SCU) and in partnership with local colleges and universities, recipient(s) of the scholarship will be eligible to receive funding for up to a four-year college program in hospitality and tourism. Applications will be accessible through the SCU starting June 1, 2021.

«When we launched the Sandals Foundation in 2009, we did so to put a formal face to the philanthropic efforts my father championed since he opened the doors of Sandals Montego Bay in 1981. It’s my honor now to ‘formalize’ this scholarship in his name, cementing his passion for mentorship and his profound desire to elevate the promise of the Caribbean,» said Stewart.

In addition to the scholarship program, those wishing to help honor the late Gordon «Butch» Stewart and his love of the region he called home, can do so by donating to support the marine conservation efforts of the Sandals Foundation. Through the creation and management of coral nurseries and marine sanctuaries, and by partnering with local community groups for mangrove restoration and turtle conservation, the Sandals Foundation has helped to restore and sustain the delicate marine ecosystems the world has come to know and love. Additionally, the Foundation has continued its commitment to work alongside local schools and educators to integrate marine education in their curriculum, spearhead hands-on field trips to protected areas, and engage residents in coastal communities on proper solid waste management programs to ensure the presence of environmental stewards for years to come.

According to Heidi Clarke, Executive Director of the Sandals Foundation, «The late Chairman was most at home when on the water.  He had an unshakeable love for the Caribbean Sea and over the years, greatly contributed to marine conservation throughout the region,» said Clarke. «Mr. Stewart has impacted so many people across the globe, and his legacy will live on as we continue to strengthen our partnerships and communities to be positive change makers.»

Sandals Resorts International and the Sandals Foundation will continue to do their part in furthering Gordon «Butch» Stewart’s passion for philanthropy by educating the region’s people, providing the necessary tools and funds to further professional goals, and implementing initiatives to protect the islands he loved so much.
