There is a certain kind of glamour that comes with living at a hotel. Playwrights, musicians, business magnates, socialites and Hollywood icons have all been drawn to it, and with good reason. It’s an enviable, service-rich lifestyle where everything is taken care of for you, leaving you free to focus on what’s important.
But what if you could live at a hotel without actually living at a hotel? From a modern penthouse in the heart of Dubai to a high-end oasis tucked away in Beverly Hills,
Four Seasons Private Residences are expanding their portfolio to include one-of-a-kind, standalone properties that offer the kind of lifestyle you expect at Four Seasons paired with an added level of privacy and exclusivity.
The homes at Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin feature floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor spaces that show off expansive views of the surrounding nature.
An elevated experience
Luxury branded residences are a growing real estate trend that more people are looking into as a desirable option for their primary or secondary homes. As a leader in this space since the 1980s, Four Seasons has already defined what a branded private residence can be. And with this foray into standalone residential properties in Los Angeles, Miami, Austin, San Francisco, Dubai and Bahrain, they’re redefining what a private home can be.
Even as standalone private residences – meaning there is no hotel or resort attached directly to the property – these residences feature Four Seasons–trained staff members to assist with residents’ everyday needs. At Four Seasons Private Residences Los Angeles, a fully operating kitchen is open five days a week. Residents can dine in the lounge or by the pool or have food delivered right to their doorstep. In fact, all residential properties feature in-room dining services that make planning a dinner party or a special family meal all the easier.
The residents-only pool at Four Seasons Private Residences Los Angeles features private cabanas along with open communal spaces.
Featuring a striking exterior by architect CallisonRTKL and custom interiors by Martyn Lawrence Bullard, these residences capture the epitome of California Modern style.
No need to go to a movie theatre. There's no better place to watch a movie or host a screening than in the IMAX Private Theatre Palais™.
The entire experience is tailor-made for residents, taking into account individual preferences and the kind of bespoke residential lifestyle people are looking for no matter where they live. Because the standalone properties are managed and operated solely for homeowners, Four Seasons can deliver the ultimate level of privacy and exclusivity – a highly sought-after feature for any luxury real estate buyer. This separation also allows the units themselves to reflect the requirements of the individual owners, unrestricted by any other existing property.
The trifecta of privacy, concierge-level service at home and reliance on Four Seasons to expertly manage the residence while homeowners are away transforms turnkey properties into a turnkey lifestyle.
Everything right here, right now
Standalone private residences allow owners to enjoy all the amenities of a hotel – and with Four Seasons, that means you’re getting the best.
Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove, for example, boasts a gym and yoga room, a signature restaurant, an intimate library, a residents-only bar and lounge, a dedicated children’s area, and a full-service palm-fringed pool. Located in one of Miami’s most historic neighbourhoods, the property offers the feeling of being part of a village, one with Michelin-starred restaurants, stylish boutiques, charming cafés and walkable streets shaded by banyan trees – without being too far from the buzz of the city’s cultural centre.
An intimate residents' library is just one of the exclusive amenities owners will find at Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove.
Each residence will also come with unparalleled views of the St. Johns River.
An open-concept design beautifully shows off the natural light found throughout each home.
Knowing that wellness is also high on the list of priorities for luxury buyers, one thing that each standalone property features is a state-of-the-art fitness centre. The one in Los Angeles is designed by renowned celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, while the health and wellness building at the upcoming Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin features thermal pools, a spa, an athletic centre, private spaces for yoga and meditation, and a full-length indoor pool dubbed The Orangerie. Paying homage to Renaissance winter gardens, the pool sits surrounded by lush greenery no matter the season.

Privacy that doesn't sacrifice location
For ultra-high-net-worth buyers, privacy is paramount. “A standalone residence is more exclusive,” says James Carter, former Director of Residences at the Los Angeles property. “It doesn’t have a transient element. It feels safer and more private.”
But as the saying goes in real estate, location is everything. Because the brand stays on the pulse of where people want to live, work and play, you’ll find these high-end residences located in key gateway cities around the globe. Take the new Four Seasons Private Residences Dubai at DIFC, home to 59 luxury apartments and two penthouses. Set along Gate Avenue, Dubai International Financial Centre’s indoor-outdoor promenade is lined with galleries, boutiques, high-end shopping and fine dining restaurants. Mixing business with lifestyle, this enviable address is one of the most popular in the city.
Four Seasons Private Residences Dubai at DIFC offer a refuge in the middle of a bustling city centre.
Designed by award-winning architect Sir David Chipperfield, this new project will become an urban hearth for all of DIFC.
Owners can enjoy an entire floor of amenities including a residents’ lounge and terrace, swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness centre, spa, children’s playroom, private theatre and more.
Knowing where buyers want to be is half the job. The other half is finding the right neighbourhood. In cosmopolitan cities like Bahrain and San Francisco, Four Seasons has taken advantage of their hotel presence in trendy areas such as Bahrain Bay and the Yerba Buena district, respectively. Both standalone private residences are located within walking distance of a Four Seasons hotel but are distinctly their own. In Bahrain, Four Seasons Private Residences Bahrain Bay is set in the heart of a vibrant new community where owners can step out their door and find museums, world-class restaurants, art galleries and shopping, all framed by views of the tranquil bay. Each residence features floor-to-ceiling views of the water, offering a peaceful retreat for getting away from it all. A private bridge also connects the residences to the nearby Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, where owners can enjoy resort-style amenities and private beach access.
The waterfront tranquility of Four Seasons Private Residences Bahrain Bay provides an oasis of calm while still being within easy reach of the city's offerings.
Owners can take in all the resort-style amenities – including a private beach – at nearby Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay.

On the coast of California, Four Seasons Private Residences at 706 Mission, San Francisco, rises high above the city skyline in fashionable Yerba Buena, comprising two buildings – one a meticulously restored Aronson building and the other a sculptural modern tower. Residents at 706 Mission will have the Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts as neighbours outside, while a breadth of choices inside, including an expansive game room and a fully staffed residents club, help build community inside.
