TORONTO – With chat apps trending and conversational commerce on the rise, Four Seasons Chat has exchanged over 3.5 million messages, allowing guests to connect with real people on property in real time, for any need, creating more opportunities to personalize the travel experience.

"The guest experience is our top priority, whether on property or when engaging with our brand digitally," said
