"Silicon Valley’s Four Seasons Hotel, and all of its restaurants, are closed to the public this week to welcome a VIP guest. That guest, according to Recode, is rumored to be Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and his expansive entourage, who have come to town to meet with tech leaders like Apple’s Tim Cook, and CEOs at Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon, and Uber. Reservations at the hotel’s dining outlets, Quattro and [ESC], the lobby bar and lounge that underwent a renovation exactly one year ago, are unavailable until Sunday, April 8. Guests who’d previously reserved rooms during the days of Monday, April 2 through Saturday, April 7, have been shuffled off to other luxurious hotels in the area at the request of the U.S. Department of State." - Ellen Fort
