The Four Seasons: A Legacy of Luxury and Timeless Elegance
When it comes to luxury hotels, few names carry the same prestige as Four Seasons. Known for its impeccable service, lavish accommodations, and attention to detail, Four Seasons has become synonymous with luxury travel. Of course, popular culture now fully appreciates the brand’s allure, thanks to White Lotus—because nothing says “elite getaway” quite like a little dramatic chaos in paradise. From the heart of bustling cities to the tranquility of secluded tropical islands, the brand's properties around the world cater to discerning travelers seeking an unparalleled experience. But what makes Four Seasons so popular, and where can you find its most iconic locations? Let’s dive in.
Why Four Seasons Stands Out
Unmatched Service – The hallmark of the Four Seasons experience is its legendary service. Staff are trained to anticipate guests’ needs, creating a personalized and seamless stay. Whether it’s remembering your preferred pillow type or arranging exclusive excursions, the level of hospitality sets Four Seasons apart.
Timeless Elegance and Comfort – Every property is designed with a refined aesthetic that blends contemporary luxury with local charm. The rooms and suites are spacious, beautifully appointed, and equipped with top-tier amenities.
Culinary Excellence – From Michelin-starred restaurants to innovative fusion dining, Four Seasons properties are home to some of the world’s finest culinary experiences. Each hotel showcases local flavors while maintaining world-class standards.
Exclusive Experiences – Many Four Seasons properties offer bespoke experiences, from private yacht charters in the Maldives to behind-the-scenes access to cultural landmarks. Their focus on creating unforgettable moments makes each stay unique.
Consistent Quality Worldwide – Whether you’re staying at a Four Seasons in Paris or Bora Bora, you can expect the same level of excellence. This consistency is what keeps travelers loyal to the brand.
Top Four Seasons Locations Around the World

Blending traditional Chinese design with modern luxury, Four Seasons Beijing offers a serene escape in the heart of the capital. With impeccable service, exquisite dining options—including Michelin-starred Cantonese cuisine—and a stunning spa, this hotel is the perfect gateway to exploring the city's rich history and vibrant culture. I had the privilege of staying at this magnificent property during our Adventures by Disney Enchanted China tour, and let me tell you—this is the level of accommodation you can expect when traveling with Adventures by Disney. From world-class hospitality to a seamless, stress-free experience, it set the tone for an unforgettable journey through China.
2. Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora
A dreamlike overwater bungalow paradise, this resort is perfect for honeymooners and those seeking an idyllic tropical escape. Crystal-clear lagoons, world-class diving, and unparalleled relaxation await.
3. San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel
Perched on the cliffs of Sicily, this historic monastery-turned-luxury-hotel offers breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea. It seamlessly blends Italian heritage with modern opulence, making it a must-visit for travelers seeking a taste of Sicilian charm.
4. Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru
This remote haven in the Maldives combines barefoot luxury with innovative wellness programs, marine conservation initiatives, and breathtaking surroundings.
5. Four Seasons Hotel Florence
A Renaissance-era palace turned luxury retreat, this hotel offers a unique blend of history, art, and indulgence in the heart of Florence. The gardens alone are worth the stay.
6. Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca
Nestled along the coastline of Morocco, this chic and contemporary hotel offers a perfect blend of modern luxury and traditional Moroccan charm. With its stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, exquisite dining, and proximity to the vibrant city of Casablanca, it’s the perfect base for exploring this iconic destination. I’ll be arriving there this Saturday to begin my next Adventures by Disney journey—Morocco. I’m excited to see what this breathtaking destination has in store!
7. Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong
A modern masterpiece with unbeatable harbor views, this property is home to several Michelin-starred restaurants and offers a perfect balance of city excitement and serene luxury. I had the pleasure of staying at this iconic hotel to kick off our Adventures by Disney Enchanted China journey. From the exquisite service to the breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour, it was the perfect way to begin an unforgettable adventure.
8. Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
A Hawaiian paradise with impeccable service, this beachfront resort is a favorite for those seeking sun, surf, and a touch of Hollywood glamour. I celebrated part of my 40th birthday with a fabulous dinner at Duo Steak & Seafood, sitting in the same location where many scenes from White Lotus were filmed. For a fleeting moment, I half-expected Tanya McQuoid to waltz by in all her eccentric glory. A Hawaiian paradise with impeccable service, this beachfront resort is a favorite for those seeking sun, surf, and a touch of Hollywood glamour.
9. Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, Thailand
Nestled on a lush hillside overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, this tropical haven offers private villas with infinity pools, pristine beaches, and world-class spa experiences. It's the perfect destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in a breathtaking island setting.
and now…
San Domenico Palace in Taormina and Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui are now firmly on my bucket list as I continue to explore more of this iconic brand. And while I might not be greeted with a dramatic "Welcome to White Lotus," I’ll be more than happy to embrace my inner Victoria Ratliff—just without the lorazepam.
