Soaking It In: Bathtubs With a View

Posted on January 10, 2024January 10, 2024 by Ellis Harman

Once the rush of festive season settles down, making time to reflect becomes a little easier. What’s in store for the year ahead? If you ask us, there’s no better place to gather your thoughts than in the warm, relaxing embrace of a perfectly drawn bath. Better still – make that a bathtub with an unforgettable view. At Four Seasons, the simple yet grounding experience of a bath gets elevated to new heights.

Look out onto Petite Anse bay from your hillside tub in the Seychelles, relax in a hand-hammered copper bathtub set among the treetops in the Golden Triangle, or sip champagne as you gaze out on a historic garden in Florence from your free-standing marble tub. Whatever your view of choice, the result is bound to be relaxation and clarity. These tubs will have you dreaming of your next stay with Four Seasons.

Whether you’re feeling jet-lagged or simply tired after a long day in the hot sun, the large sunken bathtub in your private villa at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is the ideal spot to recover and recharge – with a little help from a personal attendant from the Resort’s Le Syel Spa, who can time your bath to coincide with the sunset over Petite Anse Bay. Immerse yourself in the flavours of the island with the Mahé treatment – a soak in coconut and mango milk and cinnamon essence – or opt for the Indulgence treatment: a chocolate-scented bath accompanied by a bowl of melted chocolate.

After an adventurous day trekking through the jungle, soothe aching muscles with a bath in a hand-hammered copper tub at the treetop-fringed Spa at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. Take in breathtaking views of River Ruak and the expansive bamboo forest as you splash in water enhanced with mountain botanicals, invigorating body and spirit, set to a soundtrack of birds singing nearby.

The bathtub is the star of your art-filled bathroom at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze. Sip champagne in your free-standing marble tub filled with delicately scented bubbles, gazing up at frescoed ceilings, a Renaissance courtyard or out onto the lush garden. In the Conti Renaissance Suite, some of the frescoes in the bathroom represent the Temple of the Seven Virtues seen in the Hotel garden. But no matter which room you’re staying in, bath time here is a feast for the eyes.

Each of the 189 rooms and suites at Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown feature deep soaking tubs, but the true star is the egg-shaped tub in the Empire Suite, which also boasts stunning views of Midtown’s distinctive skyline. These oversized tubs fill up in two minutes flat, making it easy to squeeze in a relaxing bath to wash off the day before transitioning to a fun-filled night. Need an extra energy boost?

Instagram-worthy views in Costa Rica

The soaking tub in the Casa del Cielo residence at Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica has become an Instagram sensation thanks to its sensational ocean and jungle views. But the Resort’s custom bath rituals can turn any room with a tub into a private spa. Whether your muscles are tired from a hike or you’ve just come from the airport after a long flight, the Spa team can customize bath ingredients like jojoba oil or Epsom salt to cure your woes as you gaze out at the surrounding tropical forest.

When the views are this beautiful, you’ll want to do everything outdoors. And the Deluxe Room with Outdoor Spa Tub at Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina let you do just that. Surrounded by lush green foliage with the deep blue of the ocean waters peeking through, the outdoor spa tub is set on an open-air patio outfitted with a table, chairs and loungers inviting you to stay a while. With a plate of fresh Hawaiian papaya and your drink of choice, what more could you need?

A cultural approach in Kyoto

In Japan, bathing is considered a daily ritual meant to bring purification and pleasure. At Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, the best way to experience the custom is with some time in the Hotel’s ofuro, a hot bath and sauna. Steep in traditional Japanese sake – which contains rich amino acids to brighten and soften skin along with purifying, moisturizing and anti-ageing properties – or luxuriate in a milk bath made with natural hot spring water, organic green tea extracts and green tea seed oil for dewy skin.

Sky-high serenity in Tokyo

The fervent energy of Tokyo is keenly felt in the Otemachi district, the city’s buzzing financial centre. Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi offers an unexpectedly delightful place to collect your thoughts: your room’s freestanding bathtub. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, the tub is perfectly positioned so you can take in the sprawling city views from the ultimate vantage point. Turn on the Bluetooth speaker and put on the Frequencies playlist – curated by Bellosound in collaboration with the Hotel’s Director of Spa and Wellness Faraaz Tanveer – and time your bath with the sunset to watch the Tokyo skyline glide from day into night.

Cityscapes in Philadelphia

Float above the clouds at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center, where deep soaking tubs set against floor-to-ceiling windows provide skyline views you won’t find anywhere else. The Hotel itself is set atop Philadelphia’s tallest tower – the Comcast Technology Center – meaning you can relax in the tub and go sightseeing at the same time.

Blurring the lines between indoors and out, each room at Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, México, feels like you’re in your own private world. Wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the nearby beach before stepping into your free-standing oval tub to watch them roll in as you enjoy a soothing soak. A hammock waits for you just outside on your private terrace to further ease into the morning at your own pace.

No matter where you are in the world, taking a little time for yourself is always a good idea – and Four Seasons is here to help you make the most of it. Whether it’s turning your bathroom into your own private spa with a locally inspired bath ritual or drawing a bath for you just in time to see the city skyline light up as the sun goes down, these tubs at Four Seasons come not just with incredible views, but with personalized care and attention that makes a simple thing like a bath feel luxurious.

Travel With Purpose

Posted on February 16, 2022August 14, 2023 by Shannon O'Donnell

Six curious faces looked up at my niece and me as we walked into the Big Brother Mouse bookstore in Luang Prabang, Laos. With a quick wave, we approached a group sitting at the large table, each person holding a well-worn notebook and pen. A curious young monk invited us to sit with them, excited to have native speakers join the bookstore’s daily English conversation class.

When I was planning this trip, the Big Brother Mouse organization’s grassroots mission to improve literacy in rural Laos captured my attention. So did its pitch to travellers: Make a difference by volunteering to help interested locals learn English. My 12-year-old niece and I were now travelling across Southeast Asia together in search of ways to use travel as a force for good. We revelled in the beauty of Cambodia’s ancient temples, Thailand’s iconic turquoise waters and the jagged karst rocks of northern Vietnam – while forming deeper connections with local cultures and supporting important conservation efforts.

The English class at the Laos bookstore was just right for our abilities: In two short hours, my niece helped the young monk troubleshoot the pronunciation of the “th” sound and I helped the group decipher the nuances of a recent news article. In that time, we two gained a fresh perspective on Laotian culture – and our new friends recommended new ways to see their city, including an awe-inspiring sunset boat ride along the Mekong River.

This was the first deeply meaningful occasion we experienced on our trip, and it motivated us to spend the weeks of our trip helping to empower disabled artisans in Cambodia, supporting Burmese refugees near the Thai border and working with elephant conservation groups in northern Thailand. These experiences gave us a deeper understanding of other people and cultures, as well as a better understanding of the world. And while some of our volunteer work took days, many of the most rewarding activities required just a few hours – easy to work into any itinerary.

Looking to go beyond must-see spots and immerse yourself in your destination? Four Seasons can help you maximize your experience there while also benefiting its people and culture.

Walk With Elephants

Watching elephants joyfully bathe in a local river is a highlight of any trip to Southeast Asia. My niece and I loved seeing wide, happy arcs of water sail through the air as elephants sprayed themselves (and the occasional spectator). Rescued from abuse and overwork on the streets of Thailand, the elephants at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle now live a life of luxury at the property’s Elephant Camp. Through a partnership with the Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation, guests have helped adopt and care for more than 20 elephants, providing food and veterinary care through monthly memberships. For a hands-on experience, join the on-site mahouts and help bathe, feed and walk the gentle giants, or set out on one of three jungle excursions to see them in their natural jungle habitat. End your day with the tinkling sounds of traditional Thai folk music as you enjoy a candlelit al fresco dinner at the Elephant Camp.

Encourage a Love of Learning

The gift of learning starts with the love of a good book, and guests at the Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo can help spark a lifelong passion for reading among local students. Through partnerships with Creciendo Juntos and Libros Para Todos, guests can collect and donate backpacks filled with school supplies – and your favourite books – to area schools. If school is in session, the Resort can arrange in-person assistance, from painting buildings and cooking for students and teachers to playing sports with the children and reading to them. The Resort can also connect you with local families to play, cook or visit with them, as well as ways to donate medical supplies and food. The deep connections you’ll make will help turn memorable moments into meaningful ones.

Strike a Sustainable Balance

Dreamy beaches, lush jungles, ancient temples, deep spirituality: Bali will leave you breathless. Help protect this paradise at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, where cultural conservation is front and centre. Join students at the nearby School for Special Needs for a workshop in dance, Balinese gamelan music, painting, wood carving or pottery. Want to focus on your idyllic environment? Collect trash and debris on a beach walk to sell to Sampah Jujur, a group founded by jeweller John Hardy to show how recycling can be profitable. Or learn about composting, snail farming and tree planting with Zero Waste to Ocean, which responds to environmental challenges facing coastal communities. After a day of good deeds, unwind back at the Resort with an inventive zero-waste cocktail at Sundara, where Head Mixologist Sufian Mahmoud has embraced a philosophy of “minimum waste, maximum flavour.” Each drink features fresh aromatic herbs grown in the Resort’s garden.

At Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, get a hands-on look at one of Bali’s oldest traditions: Spend a day in the life of a local farmer in the bucolic rice fields along the Ayung River. Enjoy a picnic breakfast in a bale, or pavilion, then learn how the farmers plant and harvest rice. Celebrate a job well done with water from a fresh coconut picked and cut just for you and a bathing ritual at the Spa, including an invigorating river-stone scrub and soothing Balinese massage.

Protect African Wildlife

I was delighted to spot the Big Five – leopards, lions, rhinos, elephants and African buffalo – but during my once-in-a-lifetime Tanzanian safari, watching a mama cheetah frolic across the African savannah with two cubs in tow shines bright in my memory. Guests at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti should snap extra photos of cheetahs during their excursion into the savannah – one of the least-disturbed and best-studied areas in Africa. At the Lodge’s Discovery Centre, guests can share their images with the Serengeti Cheetah Project, which uses crowdsourced wildlife photos to help identify and track the felines. Each cheetah has its own unique spot pattern, and the photos help researchers record the animals’ movements. And they’re not the only big cat of interest: Set out with a guide to set up remote-camera traps, then spend an afternoon monitoring and classifying animals captured on film with help from The Serengeti Lion Project.

Master Mixologists

Posted on December 15, 2021April 9, 2024 by Alycee Byrd

There’s no shortage of unique spots to enjoy a cocktail when you’re staying with Four Seasons: a Prohibition-style speakeasy, elegant rooftop retreats, a one-of-a-kind beverage trailer for sipping al fresco. But what makes these bars, lounges and terraces so special are the Four Seasons people – mixologists who are passionate about their craft and dedicated to sharing a taste of place through their innovative creations, concocting libations that highlight local ingredients and history. The result of their efforts: a full menu of Masterdish cocktails worth travelling for.

A Taste of History

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL ONE DALTON STREET, BOSTON
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF FOOD & BEVERAGE JULIA CASALE, TRIFECTA
THE MASTERDISH: BACKDOOR PROGRESSION

Boston might not be the first city to come to mind when thinking of American jazz – most associate it with New Orleans, Chicago or New York – but Beantown has long had a strong scene. Over the years, some of the biggest names in jazz have played its stages, from Duke Ellington, Harry Carney and Johnny Hodges to Jamie Cullum, Harry Connick Jr. and Wynton Marsalis. From your first sip of the Backdoor Progression, you’ll be transported to a dark, moody jazz club. Mezcal, amaro and falernum are smoked under a cloche using cherry wood chips, and then combined tableside in a chilled double rocks glass with ice. Don’t be surprised if you feel your toes tapping to a jazz beat after just one sip.

A Celestially Inspired Drink

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL DUBAI INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTRE
BARTENDER BRIGIN JOSE, LUNA DUBAI
THE MASTERDISH: AQUARIUS

In the zodiac, Aquarius represents the water bearer, the mystical healer who bestows water – or life – upon the land. Those born under this sign, astrologers say, are free-spirited and creative. So it makes sense that the Aquarius cocktail – part of the Zodiac Menu at Luna Dubai, itself a nod to the spectacular views visible from the rooftop terrace – would be an inventive combination of aloe vera juice, fresh honey, gin and lemon. The drink’s milky blue hue is a reflection of the colours of the swirling cosmos – the universe served up in a fun, delicious cocktail. You’ll feel the planets align as you savour every sip.

A Cocktail Made With Love

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL MACAO COTAI STRIP
DIRECTOR OF RESTAURANTS GUSTAVO GONCALVES, XIAO TING
THE MASTERDISH: ULTRAVIOLET

The colour purple is associated with light-hearted romance, unconditional love and compassion, while origami cranes symbolize happiness and hope. Director of Restaurants Gustavo Goncalves turned to the two to spread his message of love and compassion through cocktails: The sweet, deep-purple Ultraviolet is made of butterfly pea tea–infused gin, lemon juice, elderflower liqueur, vanilla and egg whites, served in a cocktail glass and garnished with a purple paper crane.

A Tribute to Local Flavours

BEVERLY WILSHIRE, A FOUR SEASONS HOTEL
LEAD BARTENDER DENNIS SHEEHE, THEBLVD LOUNGE
THE MASTERDISH: FORBIDDEN FRUIT

Apple pears have been grown in California since the gold rush days, when Chinese miners planted them in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Their round shape and white flesh give them the texture and appearance of an apple, while the refreshing, juicy flavour is all pear. Take a big, juicy bite with THEBlvd Lounge’s Forbidden Fruit, inspired by the region’s bountiful fresh produce and the Garden of Eden and featuring vodka, elderflower liqueur, pear juice, apple juice and lime. The fruit focus doesn’t end with the taste: The cocktail is served in a crystal glass shaped like an apple, with a sugared rim.

A Sustainable Sip

FOUR SEASONS RESORT BALI AT JIMBARAN BAY
HEAD BARTENDER SUFIAN MAHMOUD, SUNDARA
THE MASTERDISH: MADE’S MARGARITA

With views of white-sand beaches and emerald waters, Sundara certainly has earned its name – in Sanskrit, it means “beautiful.” To protect this beauty, Head Bartender Sufian Mahmoud and his team have embraced a “minimal waste, maximum flavour” approach to their craft, focusing on fresh local ingredients and sustainability. Telu, the Resort’s new herb and cocktail garden, provides many of the aromatics Mahmoud uses in his libations – and is the setting for his popular zero-waste bar workshops for guests. Fresh from the garden is his Made’s Margarita. Featuring the classic tequila and lime, the cocktail also uses every part of a locally grown Kintamani orange – Mahmoud makes his own tangerine liqueur from some of the peel, and marmalade from the rest of the fruit – plus andaliman pepper and lime. Add a rim of smoked salt and a dusting of edible flower and rosella dust for garnish, and you’ve got a cocktail that’s good for your taste buds and for the planet.

BANANA AND PASSION FRUIT OMELETTE NORVEGIENNE

A Healthy, Colourful Latte

FOUR SEASONS TENTED CAMP GOLDEN TRIANGLE
RESTAURANT SUPERVISOR KATHARIN KUNTIEN, NONG YAO
THE MASTERDISH: ICED BLUE LATTE

Butterfly pea flower tea has been brewed for centuries in Thailand and Vietnam for its refreshing taste and antioxidants – it’s believed the tea can help boost brain power, fight inflammation and improve skin and hair health. Another beautiful benefit? The tea’s stunning pastel blue color, which ranges from a light grey to dark violet depending on what it’s mixed with. At Nong Yao, Restaurant Supervisor Katharin Kuntien’s Iced Blue Latte is an eye-catching pastel blue thanks to the addition of milk and vanilla syrup – a caffeine-free work of art that’s almost too pretty to sip. Coffee lovers, rejoice: A shot of espresso can be added for a little extra energy.

A Creative Tipple in Budapest

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL GRESHAM PALACE BUDAPEST
HEAD BARTENDER ÁDÁM RÉDLI, MÚZSA
THE MASTERDISH: MAKVIRAG COCKTAIL

The word múzsa means muse in Hungarian, and it’s clear that the new lobby bar at Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest took its inspiration from the surrounding city – known for its artistic flair, Old World charm and awe-inspiring mystique. That imaginative spirit is on display at Múzsa: In addition to its expansive bar, the lounge also includes a private meeting room and a tasting room – Múzsa is home to the largest publicly available vintage tokaji aszú collections, selected by Head Sommelier Gabor Becker – as well as an intimate concierge library and Treasure, where a bottle of Royal Tokaji Eszencia, the most expensive wine in the world, is on display and available for sale. Our favourite inspired cocktail on the menu? The Makvirag Cocktail: rum, coconut water and pineapple, plus navy gin, fresh lime and sugar syrup – all expected in a typical tiki-style drink. The creative twist? Poppy seed, a traditional Hungarian ingredient; beetroot powder, to give the cocktail its striking pink colour; and Sichuan pepper, for a little bite.

The Transformative Power of Travel

Posted on December 15, 2021February 1, 2022 by Alycee Byrd

The best trips are the ones that resonate long after our suitcases are unpacked, because they’ve changed us in a profound way. We’ve returned home different from the way we were before we left. We see the world – and ourselves – in a new way.

This new outlook on the world is due, in part, to the way we interact with it during our journeys. That’s where Four Seasons comes in, offering unique and immersive experiences that engage all the senses so you can more deeply connect with the destination. Whether you’re looking to dive into local culture or history or to find a new way to relax and recharge, these Four Seasons activities will help you see with fresh eyes.

Adventures That Shift Your Perspective

Even the smallest moments can lead to a big shift in our outlook – so imagine the impact of the gentle giants who live in the jungle that surrounds Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. Accompany a mahout guide through grasslands to the river, where the elephants play. Watch them splash about as you learn their stories – many were rescued from Thailand’s crowded city streets – and discover their distinct personalities, a lesson in building trust and letting go.

Step into any of Madrid’s tablaos and you’ll discover the city’s wildly popular pastime: flamenco dance. But to truly understand the rhythm of this Andalusian dance form, try its steps yourself – let the Concierge at the new Four Seasons Hotel Madrid arrange private flamenco lessons. Stamp and tap your way to a new level of cultural understanding, set to the fiery chords of a Spanish guitar.

Find your rhythm

Discover Madrid

Escape the noise of everyday life and discover the vast stillness of the Agafay desert, about 45 minutes from Four Seasons Resort Marrakech. Set out with a Resort guide on camels to experience the desert’s faded orange landscape. As your surroundings shift from rocky flats to half-melted hills, you’ll discover time for introspection. Afterwards, return to the Resort, nibble on ghoriba cookies and sip tiny glasses of mint tea as you reflect on the clarity that comes from a day outdoors.

Enjoy the beauty of the desert

Discover Marrakech

Rejuvenation That May Also Heal Body and Mind

Harness the power of the herd at Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe: The Equus Experience pairs guests with horses for leadership training and personal and spiritual growth through equine interaction. Soak in breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as you break down boundaries and interact with the animals, learning to coach and guide without fuss or drama. As you learn more about working with the horses, you’ll discover you’re learning more about yourself, and you might just come away with fresh insights that can affect how you love, live and lead once you’re back home.

Indulge in a holistic wellness retreat

Discover Santa Fe

Hidden in the lush jungle greenery overlooking the Ayung River Valley, the thatched-roof Sacred River Spa at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan is a serene, nurturing environment ideal for restoring balance to body, mind and spirit. Traditional Balinese chakra ceremonies are meant to align you with the energy of the Earth: The Muladhara ceremony will use singing bowls and deep, slow massage to cleanse your root chakra, said to bring inner peace and help you embrace your full potential. The Swadhisthana ceremony combines meditation and massage to balance the sacral chakra, helping you tap into your creativity and to encourage connection.
