For most, 2020 has been a year like no other. To usher in the holidays, Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen has decked its halls in hues of powder blue, silver and white festive cheer that will get guests to look up, look ahead and to #DreamwithFS this Christmas.
The hotel brings the spirit of a White Christmas wholly through its doors, promising to take guests on a magical ‘Winter Wonderland’ journey with a display of creative masterpieces by local craftspeople. Breeze through the hotel’s driveway and be greeted by intricate hanging ‘winter balloons’ that adorn the entrance, a meaningful symbol of havingone’s hopes and dreams rise up to the heavens. Bringing to life the joy and peace of Christmastime, standing tall in the hotel’s welcome lobby is a stunning 18-foot Christmas tree beautifully decorated with over 1,000 Christmas sphere balls, 200 hand-frosted branches and close to 300 delicate white feather accoutrements, giving semblance of a snow-covered Christmas tree and the notion of the new beginnings that winter snow brings. For the giftgiving Christmas-goers, the hotel’s Festive Booth on Level 1 also offers a sumptuous spread of takeaway yuletide treats and holiday highlights from the hotel’s culinary maestros for a Christmas home party.
Taking pride of place in the Reception Lobby on Level 6 is a towering life-size 19.6-foot White Christmas Castle creation by the hotel’s talented pastry team. Frosted with over 40 kilograms of icing sugar and decorated with delicate hand-cut sugar snowflakes, mini meringue mushrooms and shooting stars, all of which was built up over a span of close to two weeks; a stunning statement piece and an ideal background for a picture perfect Christmas photo memento.
But what is Christmas without the feasting and merrymaking? Celebrating good tidings and
the seasons’ traditions, Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen promises to make it an unforgettable
winter holiday for all with a line-up of indulgent year-end festive treats.
