weather: one of our better days!
I had lunch with the media rep from the Four Seasons yesterday. To be honest, I enjoy these things, not just because of the lunch, but because I get the opportunity to check the place out at my leisure. Try walking up to the front desk of a hotel and telling them you want to inspect their rooms, without having booked one for yourself! The Four Seasons is the newest kid on the block here and one of the smallest. It’s certainly dwarfed by the mammoth construction that is the Venetian but it has a calm relaxing vibe that makes people want to stay there. Whenever I’m at the Venetian, I usually want to get the hell out! It’s a bloody circus (and no media in sight!) The rooms at the Four Seasons make me think of someone’s home (at least the 18,000 patacas a night ones did!) And since that could easily be someone’s monthly wage here, it’s nothing to sneeze at. Nice warm tones, very mediterranean with cool blues added. I liked it. Of course they’re only softly opened with the rest of the place, particularly their eating venues, but here in Macau, nothing ever gets done immediately which must piss the hell out of the bigger corporations where time is money! So the only hiccup to my nice relaxing day yesterday was finding out two hours later, that something I’d eaten for lunch had resulted in an allergic reaction on my face. Such is life…
