Four Seasons Hotel and
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Residences in Yorkville, Toronto


Canadian businessman Isadore
Sharp founded Four Seasons in
1960. While a young architect
working for his father, Sharp
designed a motel for a family
friend; its success motivated him
to try creating his own hotel. He
bought a large parcel of land in a
run-down area of Toronto and
planned a stopover for business
travelers; the Four Seasons
Motor Hotel opened in 1961 with
initial investors, Murray Koffler,
Fred Eisen, and Eddie Creed.[8]
Four Seasons built more hotels,
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

including the 1963 Inn on the


Park, a $4 million two-story resort
hotel in suburban Toronto that
housed Canada's first
discothèque.[9][10] Upscale
luxury became part of the brand
when the company expanded to
London. When a developer
approached Four Seasons about
building a hotel in London, Sharp
planned it to compete with the
city's old-world, elite hotels, such
as Claridge's and The
Connaught. [4] The Inn on the
Park hotel in London opened in
1970.[5] The lead consultant was
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

the architecture firm Aedas. [11]


In 1974, cost overruns at the
Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver
nearly led the company into
bankruptcy. As a result, the
company began shifting to its
current, management-only
business model, eliminating costs
associated with buying land and
buildings. The company went
public in 1986.[5] In the 1990s,
Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton
began direct competition, with
Ritz-Carlton emphasizing a
uniform look while Four Seasons
emphasized local architecture
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

and styles with uniform service; in


the end Four Seasons gained
market share.[5] History 1/21/22,

# 3/23 Built in 1986,[12][13] Four
Seasons Hotel Austin is a nine-
story hotel on 2.3 acres of land
on the Lady Bird Lake's north
shore.[14] In 1997, Four Seasons
Hotel Austin became the first
hotel to have "a high-speed
wireless Internet network" after
Wayport, Inc. set it up there for
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

testing wireless Internet


networks.[15] The hotel hosted
Queen Elizabeth II in 1991 when
she visited Texas.[16] It was
acquired by Anbang Insurance
Group from the Blackstone Group
for $359.7 million in 2016.[14]
Economic downturns in the early
and mid-2000s affected the
company. When the September
11 attacks caused the collapse of
the travel industry, Four Seasons
refused to cut room prices in
order to preserve the perceived
value of the brand, which caused
tension with property owners who
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

were losing money.[5] The


company recovered, and in 2007
it agreed to a buyout by Microsoft
Chairman Bill Gates and Prince
Al-Waleed bin Talal of Saudi
Arabia for $3.8 billion.[17] The
pair own 95 percent of the
company, in equal shares, and
Sharp owns the rest.[5]
Challenges returned again during
the financial crisis of 2007–2010.
The company made the first
corporate layoffs in its history,
cutting 10% of its Toronto
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

workforce.[5] In April 2010, after


a yearlong dispute with
Broadreach Capital Partners and
Maritz, Wolff & Co., owners of the
Aviara resort near San Diego, an
arbitration panel ruled that, while
both parties contributed to the
demise of the business
relationship, Four Seasons had
not violated its management
agreement. The arbitrators
ordered Broadreach to pay Four
Seasons to terminate the
contract."[18] The resort is no
longer a Four Seasons. Four
Seasons has continued to add
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

more hotels and resorts to its


portfolio, notably in China. It
opened a new hotel in Hangzhou
in 2010 and Guangzhou, Beijing,
and a second property in
Shanghai in 2012. In India, it has
one hotel in Mumbai. [19] In
2013, it opened its first hotel in
Russia in the Lobanov-Rostovsky
Palace in St. Petersburg, and
later opened a second hotel in
Moscow. In Indonesia, it has one
hotel in Jakarta and another two
in B ali.
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

In October 2012, Four Seasons


opened a new 259 room Toronto
hotel in Yorkville, designed by
internationally known design firm
Yabu Pushelberg. The hotel
includes an upscale restaurant
led by celebrity chef Daniel
Boulud. It was hailed by The
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Globe and Mail as "the renewal


of an iconic Canadian brand in its
hometown".[20] The penthouse
was bought by entrepreneur
Robert Österlund (founder of
Xacti, LLC and Inbox.com) for a
Canadian record price of over
$28 million.[21] In 2009, founder
Sharp wrote a memoir titled Four
Seasons: The Story of Business
Philosophy. It contained a
historical chronicle of the hotels
since its inception.[22] In
September 2021, Cascade
announced it will increase its
existing 47.5% stake to 71.25%
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

by purchasing, for $2.21 billion in


cash, half of the existing 47.5%
stake owned by the Saudi
Kingdom Holding Company
(KHC).[23] Business model

Amman Four Seasons does not

own any of its properties;[24] it


operates them on behalf of real
estate owners and developers.
For example, its New York
Downtown hotel/residence is
owned by Silverstein Properties,
and its Las Vegas hotel is part of
the Mandalay Bay complex. The
contracts between Four Seasons
and property owners typically
permit the company to participate
in the design of the property and
run it with nearly total control over
every aspect of the operation.[5]
Four Seasons generally earns
three percent of the gross income
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

and about five percent of profits


from the properties it operates,
and the property owners are
required to additionally contribute
money for chain-wide sales,
marketing and reservations
systems. Four Seasons hotels
have larger staffs than competing
chains, and the company
maintains separate reserve
accounts for each hotel to cover
upkeep costs. Profit margins are
relatively low, but the brand
attracts developers through the
hotels' reputation as solid assets
for loan collateral or resale.[5]

Our story wrote its early chapters in 1934 in Shimla where Mr. M.S. Oberoi
pioneered the idea of luxury hospitality in India by opening his first hotel.
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

The lessons self-taught, the inevitable mistakes made, the wisdom gained,
the prestigious awards won. All have formed the compass for successive
generations of Oberois.

To this day, we still


practice the most simple
and uncommon of operational
philosophies that began with Mr.
M.S. Oberoi himself and now
echoed by his son and current
chairman Mr. P.R. S. Oberoi: The
guest is everything.
Our joy comes from ensuring
each is seen and valued as a
person, a friend, a family member
who has come to stay. It ‘s
present in every gesture through
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

words spoken or unspoken, in


ways that are obvious and in
ways that are quietly respectful of
one’s time and privacy.
You will be hard pressed to find
properties as beautiful as ours or
restaurants, guest rooms and
facilities that are as exceptional.
But these are not what give
Oberoi Hotels & Resorts its
incomparable reputation.
What our guests speak about
most is that singular experience
of being truly seen, heard and
understood. Something no other
hotel or resort can emulate. The
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

astonishing effect one feels from


an act, a gesture, a word; that is
heart felt.

The Group
The Oberoi Group,
founded in 1934, operates 32
hotels, Nile Cruisers and a Motor
Vessel in the backwaters of
Kerala. The Group has presence
in seven countries under the
luxury 'Oberoi' and five-star

Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Singh Oberoi
Founder Chairman, The
Oberoi Group
Early Life
Rai Bahadur Mohan
Singh Oberoi was born on
15th August, 1898 in
erstwhile undivided
Punjab, which is now in
Pakistan. He was only six
months old when his
father died. Success and
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

fortune did not, therefore,


come easily to him.
Initiative, resourcefulness
and hard work, combined
with the capability to face
and overcome the most
overwhelming odds can
best characterise this
phenomenal
entrepreneur.
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Mr. M.S. Oberoi


completed his primary
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

education in Rawalpindi
and moved to Lahore for
his Bachelor’s degree.
Shortly thereafter, to flee
the ravages of a virulent
plague, he went to seek
his fortune in Shimla, the
summer capital of British
India. Arriving penniless,
he found a job at a
monthly salary of INR 50,
as the front desk clerk at
the Cecil Hotel. Today,
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

The Oberoi Group owns


the hotel The Oberoi Cecil
where the young Mr.
Oberoi found his métier.

The diligence, enthusiasm


and intelligence displayed
by Mr. Oberoi impressed
Mr. Grove, the manager
of the hotel. A quick
learner, Mr. Oberoi did not
restrict his efforts to
fulfilling the job
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

description of a desk clerk


but sought and
shouldered additional
responsibilities. A few
years later, when Mr.
Clarke acquired a small
hotel he asked Mr. Oberoi
to assist him. It was here,
at Clarkes Hotel, that Mr.
Oberoi gained first hand
experience in all aspects
of operating a hotel.
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Budding Entrepreneur
In 1934, Mr. Oberoi
acquired his first property,
The Clarkes Hotel, from
his mentor by mortgaging
his wife’s jewellery and all
his assets. Four years
later, he signed a lease to
take over operations of
the five hundred rooms
Grand Hotel in Calcutta
that was on sale following
a cholera epidemic. With
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

his customary confidence


and sheer determination
to succeed, he was able
to convert this hotel into a
highly profitable business
venture.

Over several years, Mr.


Oberoi had purchased
shares in Associated
Hotels of India (AHI),
which owned Cecil and
Corstophans hotels in
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Shimla, Maidens and


Imperial hotels in Delhi
and a hotel each in
Lahore, Murree,
Rawalpindi and
Peshawar. In 1943, Mr.
Oberoi acquired
controlling interest in AHI.
He thus became the first
Indian to run the country’s
largest and finest hotel
chain. In the tumultuous
years just prior to Indian
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

independence, Mr. Oberoi


met and intimately
interacted with the would-
be leaders of Free India,
all of whom were, at one
time or
other,
guests
at his
hotels.

International Pioneer
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Having consolidated his


early ventures, Mr. Oberoi
became the first Indian
hotelier to enter into an
agreement with an
internationally renowned
hotel chain, to open the
first modern, five-star
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

hotel in the country. The


Oberoi Inter Continental,
in New Delhi opened in
1965. The I-Con, as it
became popularly known,
offered facilities that no
other hotel in the country
matched and was India’s
first luxury hotel.

This achievement was


enhanced with the
opening of the 35-storey
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Oberoi Sheraton in
Bombay, in 1973. Mr.
Oberoi was the first Indian
to work in association with
international chains to
woo international
travellers to India. This led
to a heavy influx of
international travellers
and foreign occupancy
soared to an average of
85%. This enabled the
Oberoi Hotels to
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

significantly contribute to
India’s foreign exchange
earnings.

Another pioneering
landmark was the
establishment in 1966 of
the prestigious Oberoi
School of Hotel
Management, recognised
by the International Hotel
Association in Paris.
Considered India’s
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

premier institute, the


school is now known as
The Oberoi Centre of
Learning and
Development and
continues to provide high
quality professional
training in hospitality
management.

Other notable firsts were


the decision to employ
women in his hotels and
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

to establish a chain of
ancillary industries
producing and supplying
items like consumables
and stationery to ensure
the highest quality. The
Oberoi Group was also
the first to start flight
catering operations in
India, in 1959. The Oberoi
Flight Services, located in
New Delhi, Mumbai,
Cochin and Chennai,
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

provide in-flight meals of


international quality to
reputed airlines.

Mr. Oberoi realised that


the hotel and hospitality
business is greatly
dependent on travel
agents, a vital element in
the distribution chain.
Therefore, he decided to
establish his own travel
agency. Mercury Travels,
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

part of The Oberoi Group,


ranks amongst the
leading travel agencies in
India.

With vision and


imagination, Mr. Oberoi
converted old and
dilapidated palaces,
historical monuments and
buildings into magnificent
hotels such as The Oberoi
Grand in Calcutta, the
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

historic Mena House


Oberoi in Cairo and The
Windsor in Australia. It
was, in fact, in the face of
severe opposition that the
State Government of
Victoria awarded Mr.
Oberoi the lease of The
Windsor, a heritage
building in Melbourne. He
personally supervised the
restoration of the hotel to
its original grandeur and
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

later acquired it. The


Oberoi Cecil in Shimla,
built in the early 20th
century, reopened in April

1997 after extensive and


meticulous renovation.
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Awards and Honours


In 1943, Mr. Oberoi was
conferred the title of Rai
Bahadur by the British
Government in
recognition of his services
to the Crown. Thereafter,
Mr. Oberoi won acclaim
and received several
national and international
awards including
admission to the Hall of
Fame by the American
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Society of Travel Agents


(ASTA) and Man of The
World award by the
International Hotel
Association (IHA), New
York. He was presented
the Order of The
Republic, First Class by
the President of Egypt. He
got an Honorary
Doctorate of Business
Administration from the
International Management
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Centre, Buckingham, UK.


Newsweek named him
one of the Elite Winners
of 1978. The PHDCCI
Millennium award in 2000
was presented in
recognition of his
entrepreneurial and
business success. In
2001, the Government of
India accorded him the
Padma Bhushan.
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Globalisation of The
Oberoi Group
To place The Oberoi
Group on the world map,
Mr. Oberoi exported
management expertise to
Australia, Egypt and
Singapore, where The
Oberoi Group took charge
of the management of
existing luxury hotels. The
success of Oberoi Hotels
& Resorts overseas, in
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

the face of global


competition, greatly
enhanced the image of
The Group.

Today, Oberoi Hotels &


Resorts in Indonesia,
Egypt, Mauritius, Saudi
Arabia, United Arab
Emirates and India add
value and distinction to
their host countries.
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Foundations of the Future


Under Mr. Oberoi’s
dynamic leadership, The
Oberoi Group introduced
its second brand of hotels,
‘Trident’. Trident hotels
are five-star hotels that
have established a
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

reputation for excellence


and are acknowledged for
offering quality and value.
These hotels combine
state of the art facilities
with dependable service
in a caring environment,
making them the ideal
choice for business and
leisure travellers.
Presently there are ten
Trident hotels in India
located in Mumbai at
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

Bandra Kurla and


Nariman Point, Gurgaon
(Delhi National Capital
Region), Hyderabad,
Chennai, Bhubaneshwar,
Cochin, Agra, Jaipur and
Udaipur. The Oberoi
Group also operates a
Trident hotel in the Saudi
Arabian city of Jeddah.

In the luxury category,


The Group opened The
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla;
The Oberoi Udaivilas,

Nile Cruiser, Egypt.

The Group employs more


than 12,000 people
worldwide and operates
32 hotels and two Nile
Cruisers and a Motor
Vessel in the backwaters
of Kerala in six countries.
Mr. Oberoi’s
achievements and
successes did not,
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

however, take from his


simplicity and old-
fashioned charm. He
retained, until his death in
May 2002 at the age of
103, a unique humility. He
was fond of saying, “I
have been able to accept
the challenge and make
good. There is comfort in
knowing that whatever
little I have achieved has
Hospitality – 1 Assignment

also helped to raise the


prestige of my country.”
