What makes a trip an experience? What makes a date on the calendar more than a marker of the seasons to become a lifelong memory shaped by the unexpected? Whether it’s an elegant getaway for two at a snowy retreat, a few days exploring a new city with close friends, or a family adventure in a seaside escape, it’s never too early to get ahead of the crowd and lock in plans to give oneself the early gift of anticipation. From moments alone to celebrations together, here is a peek into dreams of the extraordinary that become reality at Four Seasons, where every stay is a stay like no other.
“At Four Seasons, every space we dream up, every meal we prepare – it’s all created with genuine heart for those who choose to celebrate life’s most precious moments with us. We have a deep understanding of how holiday dreams come to life through a rich legacy of intuitive service, anticipating needs, and customizing experiences where no detail is too small,” says Rainer Stampfer, President Global Operations, Hotels and Resorts.
From inspiration to anticipation: A world of possibilities awaits, from lavish urban playgrounds to luxurious private retreats and far-flung tropical oases, and choices ranging from residential-style city suites to mountain chalets, beachfront pool villas, and even full-floor room configurations and resort buyouts. From the moment of arrival, Four Seasons makes time away with loved ones joyously memorable and stress-free, with more than a few heartfelt surprises along the way.
Here, Four Seasons offers a first look at a selection of experiences for year-end celebrations, with much more to come:
Celebrate discovery and relaxation with a tour of Thailand from Koh Samui’s beaches to Golden Triangle’s jungles and Chiang Mai’s rice paddies to Bangkok’s iconic riverside, each providing tailored spa adventures weaving in ancient Thai wellness rituals to restore mind, body and soul. Alternatively, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole allows for après-ski relaxation at the spa after a day on the slopes by soaking in the breathtaking views of Rendezvous Mountain from the heated river-inspired pool and hot tubs.
Experience “A Night Above the Clouds” at Four Seasons Hotel Megève and Les Chalets du Mont d’Arbois. This includes a two-night stay in a Deluxe or Gentiane room, and a night in the Suite Idéal at Idéal 1850 – accessible only by gondola – offering alpine decor, curated art, and panoramic mountain views. Enjoy personalized butler service, daily gourmet breakfast, and a Savoyard dinner paired with fine French wines, all while toasting the sunset over Mont Blanc with champagne. For a unique twist, experience culinary magic within a snow-made igloo in the middle of the forest, starting with a snowshoe adventure through Megève’s terrain, led by an experienced mountain guide. Then, indulge in a gourmet feast once inside, savouring exquisite charcuterie, local cheeses, and mulled wine. The return journey promises a magical display of sunset and starlit skies.
Explore iconic cities from a new perspective. During a stay at Four Seasons Hotel Prague, set sail on a 50-minute cruise across the Vltava River aboard a charming wooden boat or take a horse-drawn carriage through fairy-tale cobbled streets to the Old Town Square Market, sampling local delicacies along the way. For a different experience, step back in time with a historic car. During a stay in Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square, enjoy the city’s historic charm with a scenic drive in a Little Car or cruise the Thames on a luxury limo charter, taking in festive views of London’s landmarks.
