USA | With a well-established reputation for southern cuisine and jazz music, New Orleans is now the focus for cocktails.
Renowned for its world-class hospitality and exceptional bar portfolio, Four Seasons is set to host a series of events during Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, an annual conference, festival, and gathering of the world’s foremost cocktail and spirits industry professionals.
From July 21 to 26, 2024, Four Seasons will showcase the renowned beverage expertise of several of its acclaimed bars, bringing together mixologists from around the globe who embody the art of bartending in one of the world’s most vibrant entertainment cities.
"Tales of the Cocktail is the perfect stage for Four Seasons to exhibit our dedication to beverage excellence," said Philipp Blaser, Senior Vice President of Food and Beverage, Four Seasons.
"Our participation underscores our commitment to innovation and quality, as well as our connections to the global bar community. We are thrilled to bring some of our most decorated bar experiences to a city that is synonymous with cocktail culture."
In conjunction with Tales of the Cocktail, the 18th annual Spirited Awards ceremony will be held on Thursday, July 25. These prestigious awards recognise excellence in the industry, both in the US and internationally.
Notably, three Four Seasons bars have been named finalists for Best International Hotel Bar, an award honouring hotel bars outside the US for outstanding service, consistently well-crafted drinks, and embodiment of the classic hotel bar tradition.
New Orleans, with its deep-rooted cocktail culture and historic charm, has the perfect backdrop for Tales of the Cocktail. Known as the birthplace of classic cocktails such as the Sazerac and the Ramos Gin Fizz, the city’s vibrant cocktail scene is a testament to its rich history and innovative spirit. At the centre of the excitement will be Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans, a heritage icon with a central downtown location on Canal Street in the French Quarter, boasting views of the Mississippi River.
Reflecting the vibrant ambience of the city, Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans is also home to two restaurants: Miss River, offering an innovative twist on Southern cuisine, and Chemin à la Mer, a classic steakhouse and grand oyster bar.
