Christmas Stollen

Elevate holiday festivities with the Hotel’s signature Christmas Stollen, a cherished German sweetbread that is especially served during this season.  Expertly handcrafted by the talented pastry team, this traditional treat is brimming with a delectable medley of pistachios, almonds, sultanas, figs, cranberries, oranges, and — as a special Four Seasons touch — pineapple! An unexpected twist on the customary bread, this Stollen is luxuriously soaked in pineapple rum for an impressive six months, infusing the dried fruits with a remarkable depth of flavour. This delightful creation is then generously dusted with Wasanbon, a fine-grained Japanese sugar.

As time weaves its magic, the Stollen matures into an even more exquisite treat, making it a must-have for all year-end celebrations.
