Travel Nikkei, a Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine, Izumi is a welcomed surprise for diners. Given the 360-degree views, innovative menu, limited space (only 25 people per seating) and short warm-weather window, dining at Izumi is a coveted opportunity. As much as the brand works to preserve the past, these historical Four Seasons hotels are not museums, though they easily could double as such. Instead, they have discerning guests who expect the very latest and greatest in terms of technology, amenities and service. Having a history that dates back hundreds of years is special, but that alone is not enough to be a leader in the luxury market. Honoring the past, yet providing stellar service and the most modern conveniences is tricky, but it’s a balance that Four Seasons brand achieves with impeccable sophistication.
