SHANGHAI, 1 April, 2009 � Yesterday�s news: Light traveller. In vogue: Feather-weight traveller. Just how light, you asked? Well, what do you make of just you and your travel documents?
The Four Seasons in Shanghai just brought luxe travel up a couple of cool notches when it launched its Feather-weight Traveller Program at the start of spring. The 421-key Hotel in downtown Puxi is extending this one-of-its-kind service so business travel is now as light as the gentle breeze.
Businessmen on the go can choose to leave an entire wardrobe of clothing where it will be stored until the return visit. The portable wardrobes hold up to 10 business suits, 8 pairs of shoes, drawers for undergarments, neck-ties and accessories. Hand-crafted from antique oak � known for its natural resistance to moisture absorption, each wardrobe will bear a personalized name of its owner. The content will be freshened if necessary at its owner�s request, and the wardrobe wheeled to the room well ahead of arrival. This elite service is provided to frequent residents at no additional charge.
A positive concept that will be appreciated by road warriors of today - especially those travelling on airlines that charge for every piece of baggage, the concept sure gives �travel light� a whole new meaning, not to mention the convenience. This service is made available at point of making your room reservation or through the Hotel�s friendly maid service.
