Isadore was a Ryerson graduate at 21, had a background in drafting and architecture, and a father in the construction business. The Four Seasons Motor Hotel opened in 1961, right across from the CBC. Never one to think small, he decided to move further north and build a “resort within a city” (Four Seasons The Story of a Business Philosophy, 2009). The location would be close to IBM and have 200 rooms, a pool and courtyard surrounded by parkland. The first Four Seasons hotel opened on March of 1963 in North York, and they called it the Inn On The Park which marked the beginning of luxury hotels as we know it
