Four Seasons Hotels Inc. announces revised date for its annual
meeting of shareholders 


TORONTO, May 5  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Four Seasons Hotels Inc. (TSX Symbol
"FSH.SV"; NYSE Symbol "FS") announced that its annual meeting of shareholders
which was to be held on May 18, 2005, will be adjourned to Wednesday, May 25,
2005 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time).

Four Seasons was informed by its registrar and transfer agent earlier this week
that, although its annual meeting materials had been distributed by the
transfer agent on March 31, 2005, proxy and mailing list cards were not
received by the agent for certain US intermediaries due to difficulties in the
transfer agent's mailing house. The registrar and transfer agent has confirmed
that all meeting materials have now been forwarded to those US intermediaries
by their agent.

The meeting materials have been posted on the Company's website at
http://www.fourseasons.com/ and have been available as part of the Company's
regulatory filings on http://www.sedar.com/ since the end of March.

Four Seasons believes it is important that all shareholders receive meeting
materials on a timely basis to permit shareholders to exercise their right to
vote in an informed manner, even where, as is the case this year, there is no
special business to be considered at the meeting. Accordingly, Four Seasons
will convene its annual meeting of shareholders on May 18, 2005 solely to
adjourn the meeting to Wednesday, May 25, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight
Time). The Company will mail a notice of adjournment to those persons to whom
the original notice of meeting was sent.
