With the strength of our singular luxury brand, we are well-positioned to seize opportunities, drive innovation, and build on our legacy of excellence.”

This year marks the 25th anniversary of partnership and investment by the company’s longtime shareholders, Cascade Investment LLCKingdom Holding Company and Isadore Sharp, Four Seasons founder/chairman, through Triples Holdings Limited.
