When the 365-room Regent Jakarta opened its doors in 1995, it set new standards of luxury in Indonesia, and provided a true "home away from home" for global business travellers. Four Seasons continues to build recognition and a loyal following as the company expands its portfolio in Asia. Award-winning Four Seasons hotels and resorts are already located in Bali (in Jimbaran Bay and Sayan); the Maldives; Singapore; Bangkok; Chiang Mai; Tokyo; Shanghai and Sydney. The company's first resort in Malaysia, in Langkawi, is currently scheduled to open in early 2005. Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, a landmark building that is part of the prestigious Hong Kong Station in the city's Central district and financial core, is currently slated to open in mid-2005.
