A total of 46 Four Seasons hotels and resorts, 13 spas and two restaurants have received the Five-Star designation.

“In a year of uncertainty and challenge for our industry, it is even more important that Four Seasons continues to maintain the service and quality excellence that our brand is known for, effectively adapting to the changing needs of our guests,” says Christian Clerc, President, Global Operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “Whether staying with us or visiting one of our spas and restaurants, we want guests to feel comfortable and confident that their wellbeing is top of mind. We achieve this through industry leading technology like the Four Seasons App and Chat, through our enhanced global health and safety program, Lead With Care, and most importantly through the care and compassion of our exceptional people.” 

Three Four Seasons properties received a new Five-Star designation this year, including Four Seasons Hotel Montreal and Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center, both of which opened in 2019, as well as Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. In addition, the Spas at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, and Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center received a Five-Star award.

Clerc continues, “This year more than ever, I am incredibly proud to see so many of our properties, spas and restaurants honoured by the Forbes Travel Guide, a tremendous accomplishment in our industry, and a testament to Four Seasons unwavering dedication to being the best luxury hospitality company in the world.”
