Four Seasons: Looking Great at 40


When you turn 40, it’s time for a big party. Georgetown’s Fours Seasons Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue invited guests to walk through four rooms of luxe fun — winter,spring, summer and fall. The food was fine, and spirits were high. Thanking the party-goers, Christian Clerc, Worldwide President of Hotel Operations, Four Seasons, said the hotel is a place “where celebrities come to feel like normal people, and normal people come to feel like celebrities.” In 1979, Isadore Sharp introduced his idea of luxury hotels to the U.S. by opening Four Seasons Washington, D.C. It remains the hotel known for royalty, diplomats, business leaders and celebrities as well as the only hotel in Washington to be awarded 5 Stars by Forbes, and 5 Diamonds by AAA.
