Founded in 1961 by Isadore Sharp with a single hotel in Toronto, this year Four Seasons celebrates 65 years of growth and innovation, while remaining true to the service philosophy on which it was built. Over the past six decades, the company has grown into a global portfolio of hotels, resorts, residences, and experiential offerings, each deeply connected to its destination, while consistently delivering exceptional service and genuine care around the world.
Today, Four Seasons operates 140 hotels and resorts and 61 residential properties across 47 countries. With approximately 60 additional projects at various stages of development, Four Seasons will introduce the brand to some of the world's most iconic destinations. Four Seasons will return to Berlin after 20 years with the reimagination of a storied hotel into an entirely new luxury experience. Following extensive renovations, the brand will also further expand its European presence with the reopening of The Park Gstaad as a Four Seasons Hotel. The portfolio will continue to grow in the Americas with new luxury properties in Belize and the Dominican Republic and expand its Mountain Collection with projects in Telluride and Deer Valley. New openings are also planned across Asia, including a resort in Okinawa, and across the Middle East and Africa with developments in Madinah and Zanzibar. For meeting and event planners, this continued expansion creates new opportunities to deliver Four Seasons experiences in both emerging and established destinations around the world.
In addition to its hotels and resorts, Four Seasons experiential offerings include more than 600 restaurants and bars globally, the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience, and Four Seasons Yachts. This year, Four Seasons Yachts’ inaugural vessel, Four Seasons I, embarked on its maiden voyage in the Mediterranean. The moment signaled both a celebration of the brand's enduring legacy of excellence and the beginning of a new chapter, as Four Seasons extends its globally recognized hospitality from land and sky to sea. Throughout its history, the company has remained committed to a single, unified brand, ensuring that every experience — whether guests stay, live, travel, or now sail with Four Seasons — is unmistakably its own.
That consistency is rooted in a philosophy that has defined Four Seasons since the beginning: true luxury is a meaningful sense of belonging. At Four Seasons, luxury is a dedicated focus on how people want to be treated, grounded in the genuine care experienced during every stay and defined by an abundance of humanity and generosity. It begins with a passionate team that welcomes guests as the center of their world — anywhere in the world — and always with a distinctly human touch.
The same philosophy extends to Four Seasons Meetings and Events. Whether hosting a luxury brand event, milestone celebration, incentive trip, executive retreat, or intimate board meeting, guests can expect the same personalized service and attention to detail that define every Four Seasons experience. Across the global portfolio, expert planners create unforgettable gatherings through unique settings, thoughtful curation, and flawless execution, with every detail attentively tailored to elevate the event.
Whether gathering in a dynamic global city, a celebrated resort destination, or one of the newest Four Seasons properties around the world, meetings and events at Four Seasons are supported by expert teams dedicated to creating extraordinary experiences. With a reputation for excellence, remarkable venues, and thoughtfully curated programming, Four Seasons Meetings and Events continue to set the standard for gatherings that inspire connection, foster engagement, and leave a lasting impression well beyond the event itself.
