In January 2011, The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta
will introduce two new FarmHouse Fresh® treatments essential for every bride-to-be
and her guests.


Here Comes the Bride is not just a popular tune for the girl who gets to stroll down
center aisle, but a luxurious and rich treatment that will leave her hands and toes
wedding day beautiful. This mani and pedi package features a bath for hands and
feet in rich whole milk with a touch of blueberry, followed by a sweet cream sea salt
and bran oil scrub to soften any dry skin. To complete this decadent treatment is a
luxurious massage with a white velvet butter cream to make hands and feet baby
smooth. This one hour and 20-minute treatment is $130.


Because her guests need a little pampering too, The Spa offers a facial that ensures a
picture perfect face. The Radiant Express Steaming Power Facial can be added to
any of The Spa’s services and is a steam powered revival for pale looking skin. This 25minute
steam towel facial for $95 is oxygenating, skin tightening and circulation
heightening and uses a desert cactus gel for a kick that stimulates while it tones.
Luscious whipped Shea butter and a micro sugar polish work together to nourish the
skin, while a soothing yogurt mask shrinks the pores. Sweet agave nectar for a dewy
and youthful complexion is added to finish this heavenly, pre-party necessity.

Atlanta's First Hotel Restaurant Week



Everyone has their culinary comfort zone—the handful of restaurants they patronize
based on geography, price and style of cuisine. There’s, the favorite Italian, the Mexican joint, the special occasion spot
and the meat-and-potatoes place they’ve been patronizing since they were old enough to chew.

That list is about to get a little longer thanks to Hotel Restaurant Week, a citywide event Saturday April 2 through Sunday,
April 9, 2011 in which hotel restaurant chefs are offering a three-course dinner for just $25. Participating restaurants
include Park 75 in the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta and other hotel restaurants from across Atlanta—Midtown, Downtown
and Buckhead.

Created by Robert Gerstenecker, executive chef of Park 75 restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta, Hotel Restaurant
Week says the campaign isn’t just about giving Atlantans an incentive to treat themselves to a night out, it’s an invitation
to start thinking differently about the restaurant options in the city.

“There are a lot of stereotypes about hotel dining,” Gerstenecker says. “Some people think we’re stuffy, that we play it
safe with the menu, that it somehow takes more effort to come here for dinner than to go to a freestanding restaurant.
They trust us for weddings and large functions, but they don’t consider us a local restaurant where they can have a great
meal any night of the week.”

Vice president, publisher and part owner of Hotel Food & Beverage magazine says, “We are 100 percent convinced that this Atlanta event is going to resonate across the country and be a phenomenon.”

Think of it as exploring a whole new world of restaurants without venturing outside the perimeter.

“I want this to be better than other restaurant weeks,” Gerstenecker says. “I want to bring people into my kitchen and give
them tours of the terrace garden so they’re really exposed to what we do here. I want them to feel part of this hotel
instead of it being a big building they never visit.”

Sponsors include the Georgia Restaurant Association, illy, Fiji, Atlanta Concierge Society, Atlanta magazine,
Hotel F & B magazine, OpenTable and M-Squared Public Relations.
