In 2013, Yabu Pushelberg drew on that minimalism when it masterminded the look of Four Seasons Hotel Toronto.That Hotel was the continuation of a design journey to create the room of the future, something that speaks to all guest needs.
Four Seasons Toronto by Yabu Pushelberg cq5damDesigned by Yabu Pushelberg, the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto features well-appointed guest rooms with contemporary accents styled in a light and warm colour palette. This chic yet welcoming aesthetic is complemented throughout the Hotel by carefully curated art that offers a tasteful nod to the Hotel’s Canadian heritage.
George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg of international design firm Yabu Pushelberg have been creating distinctive signature environments for high-profile clientele and luxury retail, hospitality, residential and restaurant brands around the world, for over thirty three years.
The guest rooms have been created with both the leisure and business traveller in mind and are amongst the most spacious in Toronto. Dining at dbar and Cafe Boulud is top-notch, and the new Spa is the largest in the city and in any Four Seasons hotel worldwide.
The traditional rectangular desk was replaced by a round activity table with two chairs, because most people now work from laptops or iPads while lounging in their room.The room was deeply restful – rich in materials, quality and execution – with a neutral palette.
A master light switch was placed beside every bed so that a guest wouldn’t have to get up out of bed to turn off lights. Each guest room would feel like a sanctuary – a place to rest and recharge – whereas public spaces, such as restaurants and bars, would energize guests and encourage conversation. The Spa offers 17 spacious treatment rooms, two steam rooms, and a salon.
Known for their thoughtful and “anything is possible” approach to design, their passion for experimenting with new materials and forging relationships with independent artisans helps Yabu Pushelberg to defy conventional aesthetics and transcend design trends.
