The Editors Answer

Frequently asked

How many Four Seasons hotels are there?
Four Seasons currently operates around 130 hotels and resorts across more than 50 countries, plus a growing portfolio of branded private residences. The brand opens roughly 4–6 new properties a year — slow by chain standards and intentional.
Which is the best Four Seasons in the world?
By Forbes and Michelin Key consensus: Four Seasons Hotel George V (Paris), Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi, Four Seasons Bora Bora and Four Seasons Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru lead the list. For desert and ranch: Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale and Costa Palmas (Los Cabos).
Is Four Seasons better than Ritz-Carlton or Mandarin Oriental?
Four Seasons leads on service consistency at scale; Mandarin Oriental tends to win on spa programming and Asian flagships; Ritz-Carlton skews larger and more conference-oriented. For pure suite comfort and dependable craft, Four Seasons is the safest default in unfamiliar cities.
Do Four Seasons properties have spas?
Almost all of them — and several (Tokyo, Bali at Sayan, Maldives at Kuda Huraa, George V) operate destination-class spa floors with extended treatment menus, halotherapy and dedicated wellness suites.
