Paying tribute to awe-inspiring women in film and television, the East Lobby and d|bar by Chef Daniel Boulud will feature celebrity portraits captured by renowned Canadian photographer and filmmaker Caitlin Cronenberg. From Kerry Washington and Olivia Wilde to Constance Wu and Alexa Demie, the street-level floor will be transformed into a star-studded photo exhibit from Saturday, September 3, to Sunday, September 18, 2022. The official debut of Caitlin’s work will take place at Yorkville’s highly-anticipated annual kick-off reception. The city’s most prominent creators, influencers, socialites and media members will mix and mingle while admiring Caitlin’s work, savouring light bites, and sipping on limited edition cocktails courtesy of the Hotel’s Directors Cut Cocktail Menu. Inspired by the festival season, this cocktail menu will be available in both d|bar and Café Boulud.
Come Friday, September 9, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto will join forces with The Kit to present its inaugural power list of ten Canadian women at The Next 10 Stars luncheon and panel.
