Feel at Home in the City with Four Seasons Private Residences

Posted on by Jennifer Sanchez

No two people experience a city in the exact same way. One person’s New Orleans may be defined by jazz and music festivals, while another’s may be centred on Creole cuisine. Your image of Kyoto may be of historic pagodas and pink cherry blossoms, while another’s may be filled with contemporary art. Featuring coveted addresses in sought-after neighbourhoods, locally inspired design elements, world-class amenities created specifically for residential use and deeply personalized service, these Four Seasons Private Residences in Minneapolis, New Orleans, Bengaluru and Kyoto capture the unique energy of each city and bring it home to you.

Downtown living in Minneapolis

Set atop the city’s only five-star hotel, Four Seasons Private Residences Minneapolis features a carefully curated selection of 34 one-of-a-kind homes. “Our private residences are designed to reflect the unique atmosphere of downtown Minneapolis,” says Director of Residences Mark Syputa. Residents can choose between two distinct design palettes: Nordic and Urban. The Nordic palette features a clean, bright aesthetic that embraces the city’s Scandinavian roots, while the Urban palette offers an authentic Minneapolis feel with herringbone walnut floors and dark granite finishes. Whichever palette you choose, every residence offers stunning downtown views through towering windows that also serve to fill the spaces with an abundance of natural light.

From a 24-hour front desk team to a community and lifestyle lead in charge of planning unique events, we’ve thought of everything to ensure our residents have everything they need at their fingertips – we’re always just a chat away. – Mark Syputa, Director of Residences

Because the residences are located above Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis, owners here can enjoy all the perks of hotel living while still having the privacy of a standalone home. “Our residents are able to enjoy the perfect balance of work and play in our mixed-use building,” says Syputa. “They can easily grab a quick bite at Socca Café before heading to work, relax at the end of the day in our indoor or outdoor pool, indulge in a spa treatment, or unwind at our fourth-floor lounge and terrace.” In addition to enjoying the five-star amenities, residents can also count on a dedicated residential team for around-the-clock service and care. “From a 24-hour front desk team to our Community and Lifestyle Lead Senna Szykulski in charge of planning unique events, we’ve thought of everything to ensure our residents have everything they need at their fingertips – we’re always just a chat away,” says Syputa.

Given its prime location in the heart of the business district at the corner of Hennepin and Washington Avenues, Four Seasons Private Residences Minneapolis is surrounded by a vibrant community that is easily explored on foot, with many attractions including various music venues, the State Theatre and the Target Center – home to the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx – all just a quick stroll (or Skyway walk) away. And, the knowledgeable residential team is always ready with personalized recommendations for each resident. “Our team loves to recommend a full day of activities,” notes Syputa. Looking for the best latte in the city? That’ll be at Dogwood Café. How about a restaurant suggestion for date night? Try the rustic-chic Spoon and Stable or have the team book you a table at Zelo. “This trendy spot is known for its Italian-inspired cuisine that incorporates local ingredients,” says Syputa. Whatever you’re in the mood for, the residential Concierge can book you the perfect
table.

A lively riverfront oasis in New Orleans

The energy of New Orleans is beautifully distinct: the sounds of jazz heard around every corner, charming streetcars that make exploring the city a breeze and some of America’s top chefs serving up unforgettable meals. It’s a city that’s constantly evolving, using its melting pot of influences to create something entirely new.

Set within an iconic 34-storey tower completed in 1968 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the city’s founding, Four Seasons Private Residences New Orleans gives you unmatched access to the famed Crescent City. Designed by the celebrated architect Edward Durell Stone, the building itself is a mid-century icon, occupying two waterfront acres at the end of Canal Street on the banks of the Mississippi River.

Nln 796 970x540

Inside the building, each one-, two-, and three- bedroom home (81 in total) invites you to create your own private haven. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide uninterrupted views of the Garden District, Canal Street, the surrounding Central Business District, the French Quarter or downriver to the Gulf. Residents can enjoy quiet moments in the private residential garden or gather with friends at the Private Residence Club lounge that overlooks the Mississippi River. You can also head downstairs to Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans for dinner at Miss River or drinks beneath the twinkling lights of Chandelier Bar. The Hotel’s full-service Spa, state-of-the-art fitness centre, and outdoor pool and terrace are also an extension of your life at Four Seasons Private Residences New Orleans.

When you’re ready to explore the town, the Morial Convention Center, Audubon Aquarium, Harrah’s Casino, Spanish Plaza and French Quarter are all within walking distance. Hop in your vehicle at the dedicated porte cochère entrance before heading out to your favourite
jazz club or local bistro, or let the residential team offer some personalized recommendations for an evening out.

An urban sanctuary in Bengaluru

Spread across two 30-storey towers, Four Seasons Private Residences Bengaluru at Embassy ONE offers effortless living in the centre of India’s “Silicon Valley.” Each one- to five-bedroom private residence feels like a personal sanctuary, providing a quiet and welcoming refuge from the city’s fast-paced energy just steps away. You’ll find an exclusive collection of three- and four-bedroom residences in the North Tower, complete with tall ceilings, bespoke details and elegant finishes. For those wanting to be a little closer to the action, the residences in the South Tower offer bold, soirée-friendly layouts located above Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru at Embassy ONE. In addition to providing access to all of the Hotel amenities, the South Tower is where you’ll also find resident-only amenities such as a private cinema, game room, residents lounge and a climate-controlled wine chamber.

“The lush gardens, well-equipped gym and temperature-controlled pool collectively form an urban oasis within the bustling cityscape, reinforcing the feeling of a sanctuary,” says Assistant Director of Residences Vipindas Ramadas. And, while there are a variety of world-class amenities on-site, the Four Seasons commitment to enhance quality of living extends beyond that. “Understanding the diverse preferences of each resident allows us to tailor experiences that resonate with them, ensuring a true sense of belonging within our community,” says Ramadas. “We offer chef service on call, curated menus, personalized event catering, laundry services, housekeeping on call, and regular maintenance and upkeep – and to top it off, our expert concierge team is available 24 hours a day.”

Life in such a dynamic city is always exciting, and the residential team likes to keep residents informed about local events through quarterly newsletters and daily recommendations. “Our team aims to not only simplify our residents’ daily lives but also to serve as an invaluable resource in guiding residents to explore the rich cultural tapestry of Bengaluru, fostering a strong connection between them and the happenings in the city.”

History comes alive in Kyoto

Widely considered one of the world’s most beautiful cities, Kyoto has many faces. Pale shades of pink paint the city in the spring during cherry blossom season, while the bright red leaves of Japanese maples blanket the temples and gardens in autumn. Nestled within an 800-year-old ikeniwa garden pond in the historic temple district, Four Seasons Private Residences Kyoto provides an extraordinary place to experience it all.

“Our 57 residences incorporate old-world charm and tradition with contemporary design and modern conveniences,” says Director of Hotel Residences Rahul Mamgain. “Our pond garden makes our property quite unique in connecting residents to the roots of our former Imperial capital.” The residences themselves are designed to follow the concept of kutsuogi – the Japanese art of relaxation. The use of washi paper enhances elements of light and shadow, and tatami rooms with bamboo woven floors reference elements found in traditional Japanese houses, while the colour purple – which represents the city’s rich heritage and culture – is also incorporated throughout the entire property.

Wander through the expertly landscaped trails and walkways along the water’s edge as you head over to Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, which also shares the historic grounds. Residents have exclusive access to the dining, spa and wellness amenities at the Hotel in addition to unique experiences curated by Mamgain and his team. A traditional rickshaw tour, a private Maiko performance and a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony at the Shakusui-Tei Tea House are just a few of the unique Kyoto experiences the team can arrange. “Discover local Japanese delicacies and crafts in the alleys of Kawaramachi or explore the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple or Nijo Castle,” recommends Mamgain. When you live with Four Seasons, the entire city becomes your playground, with expert guides on hand to lead the way.

Living at Four Seasons means you have a dedicated residential team on call, ready to take care of home maintenance, housekeeping, security, culinary requests or making dinner reservations at your favourite restaurant.

With more than 53 residences located in the world’s most sought-after destinations, Four Seasons Private Residences offers private homes set in iconic cities, secluded beach communities, mountain retreats, modern metropolises and plenty of desirable spots in between. As the demand for branded residences grows, Four Seasons remains at the forefront, with many residential features coinciding with what modern homebuyers are looking for.

So, what are people looking for? In the luxury real estate market, location is still the biggest factor in the decision-making process, but many homebuyers are also looking for distinctive and sustainable architecture, thoughtful interior design, and world-class amenities to create a home that fits their style. According to a report by the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program, “Amenity-filled, move-in-ready homes and locations that offered their preferred lifestyle [are] now at the top of their list.”

We’re taking a look at some of the biggest trends in the luxury real estate market, as well as a number of impressive residences that go above and beyond to create a remarkable lifestyle for every owner.

Trend: Inspiring architecture that reflects its surroundings

Four Seasons Private Residences are transforming skylines from Kuala Lumpur to Nashville to Boston. Whether it’s at an address next to established global landmarks or in a game-changing new development by a celebrated architect, each Private Residence offers bespoke design elements and innovative features. And since remote work is here to stay, buyers have been paying even more attention to the architecture and layout of a home.

Combining a sustainable design ethos with modern technology, Four Seasons Private Residences Dominican Republic at Tropicalia incorporates pristine natural elements of the Caribbean island country – including wood and stone – into its architecture. The spaces for living, working and playing are thoughtfully designed to complement the landscape and create a profound sense of place, while the buildings themselves blend seamlessly into the landscape.

At Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas, all 171 tower residences will feature large outdoor living spaces with amenities such as built-in grills and areas for lounging and dining. With every floorplan, you’ll enjoy unobstructed views from the expansive windows placed throughout the residence. The architecture will offer a sense of the outdoors with features such as natural materials, varying textures and specially selected furnishings. Natural stone and wood set the palette, and touches of brushed metal will add to the sleek, streamlined feel.

Trend: Exclusive and tailored service

One of the major trends in luxury real estate is the idea of a curated lifestyle. Whether it’s booking a table at your favourite restaurant at a moment’s notice or preparing a custom menu as you relax with friends and family, living with Four Seasons means you can rely on a dedicated team to anticipate your every need, building lasting and trusted relationships along the way.

In addition to taking care of all the little things that make a house a home, it’s also about pleasant surprises, or new and unexpected experiences. Maybe it’s on-site sports car test drives, or expert-led scuba-diving at some of the world’s best dive sites. Or it can be something simple, like a private cooking class with a chef to learn how to prepare an authentic salade niçoise for your summer lunches.

At Four Seasons, this level of service isn’t limited to when you’re home. Whenever you find yourself away, you can rest easy knowing that your residence is always in expert hands. When you’re gone, the on-site team manages your property to the highest standards. And when it’s time to come back, you can expect everything to be perfectly ready for you – including your favourite groceries stocked in the kitchen.

To make sure that every detail is expertly accounted for, each residential property is overseen by a Director of Residences who not only leads the dedicated service team but also acts as an advocate for the resident in all aspect of homeownership, from property and asset management to financial matters to facilitating opportunities for extraordinary residential experiences.

Trend: Locations where city living meets the great outdoors

Moving out of larger cities to find more space and access to nature is a trend that was catapulted to prominence by the pandemic. While the desire for larger homes and wide-open spaces is still strong, luxury buyers are narrowing their focus on the best of both worlds: locations with all the amenities of urban life and addresses just outside the city.

At Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas, you’ll be able to enjoy panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip and the majestic Red Rock Mountains on a private, 11-acre elevated enclave just 20 minutes outside Las Vegas. Each residence will feature outdoor terraces, private elevator entrances, epicurean kitchens and a sleek modern design inspired by the surrounding desert landscape – the perfect mix of glamour and serenity.

Nestled on the banks of the namesake river, Four Seasons Private Residences Bangkok at Chao Phraya River invites owners to experience the essence of luxury waterfront living in an exclusive residential tower 73 floors above the vibrant streets of Bangkok. As part of Chao Phraya Estate – a mixed-use development sprawling across 14.2 acres of riverside land – residents have access to a private riverside lounge as well as the wellness sanctums and Michelin-starred dining at nearby Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River. And while each residence feels like a waterfront sanctuary, you’re just a short drive away from the Thailand capital’s central business district.

Trend: Homes with world-class amenities that enrich your life

More than ever, homebuyers are looking at the amenities that exist beyond their doorsteps – but not too far – as an extension of their lives at home. Luckily for Four Seasons residents, top-tier amenities have always been part of the design.

At Four Seasons Private Residences Twenty Grosvenor Square – one of the most sought-after addresses in London – residents get pampered with access to a heated swimming pool and serene spa, as well as sessions with world-class trainers and wellness experts in the on-site fitness centre. The private cinema, game room and garden library offer even more unique ways to relax.

Planning a dinner party or a special family meal? Residents can take advantage of extensive food and beverage programs, like the one at Four Seasons Private Residences Los Angeles that offers a flexible all-day dining menu. You can also enlist the services of a private chef to come create a feast for you and your guests that’s tailored to your tastes.

Many Four Seasons Private Residences feature expertly designed fitness centres, private movie theatres and private event spaces, all for residents to use as their own.

If you want all the ease and comfort of hotel living but at your own place, look no further than Four Seasons Private Residences at 706 Mission, San Francisco. Gain exclusive access to The Club, an inviting, amenity-rich floor perfect for gathering with friends. A Club attendant can help you organize private parties, wine tastings and community events.

And because, for many, health and well-being are front and centre, Four Seasons residents will find plenty of wellness spaces and outdoor areas designed for peace of mind. At the Shakusui-en pond garden at Four Seasons Private Residences Kyoto, seasonal blooms add year-round colour, which incorporates old-world charm with contemporary design and modern conveniences.

Take a refreshing dip in the indoor swimming pool, watch a film in your own private movie theatre, practise yoga or Pilates during a private session: There’s always something to do at Four Seasons Private Residences Istanbul. The kids’ playroom and young adults’ room will make younger residents feel more than welcome, while the golf simulator suite gives you a chance to get some practice in before you hit the links with your friends.

Trend: Residences with harmonious indoor spaces

The shift towards more intentional and sustainable architecture is echoed in interior design trends. Your home’s layout should reflect your lifestyle, and preferably with some reference to the location you’ve chosen. Energy-efficient buildings, sustainable materials and green living are all high on the priority list for homebuyers.

With interior designs as impressive as the skyline views that come with them, Four Seasons Private Residences invite you to live in some of the most beautiful downtown homes and coveted addresses in the world. Cascading staircases, exotic stone finishes, sleek outdoor terraces and custom oversize showers work together to create a soothing sanctuary that’s still connected to the vibrant city below.

On an exclusive island in the heart of Manama, Four Seasons Private Residences Bahrain Bay pays homage to the exquisite craftsmanship that you find in traditional Bahraini architecture. The ceiling, for example, was crafted from fibre plaster using a century-old technique to create intricate details and motifs. Mother-of-pearl, inlaid throughout the design, is a nod to local pearl resources famous across Bahrain, while the desert and milky sky of the region influenced the neutral and warm base palette in the interiors.

The convergence of sustainable design and technology is on full display at Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin.

What Does It Mean to Live With Four Seasons?

Posted on by Jennifer Sanchez

With a 360-degree approach that’s uniquely tailored to each and every resident, life at
Four Seasons Private Residences can often be described with one word: seamless. From the unparalleled service to the expert management to the beautiful homes themselves, Four Seasons has perfected the art of a curated lifestyle. So how do they do it? If you’ve ever wondered what it means to live with Four Seasons, we’re taking a look at what it’s really like through the eyes of both residents and the passionate innovators working behind the scenes.

The residential teams at Four Seasons go above and beyond to bring some magic to your life, like this outdoor family movie night at Four Seasons Private Residences Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo.

Planning a special dinner? Have a chef come to your home to create a feast just for you.

Service that’s tailored to you

“I can’t begin to explain to you the ease and comfort – it’s all wrapped up in one perfect package,” says Four Seasons homeowner Nazie Eftekhari.

For Eftekhari, one of the biggest draws of this type of homeownership is simple – she doesn’t have to worry about it. “Before I get there, I send down a grocery list. Everything is in the refrigerator, everything I’ve asked for. Perfect, packaged and ready to go. This is a chef’s dream; this is a mother’s dream.”

This level of intuitive service is such an integral part of what Four Seasons is known for, and it’s elevated even further at each Four Seasons Private Residence. Everything from dinner reservations to delivering late-night snacks to planning your child’s birthday party to ensuring your favourite flowers are always on display is handled by a passionate team of experts who know your tastes and preferences – and treat you like family.


“Our residents live at Four Seasons for a reason,” notes Reed Kandalaft, Regional Vice President and General Manager at Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel. “This is not just a typical building where you buy an apartment that you live in and you park your car. We want to know what you like and how you like it so we can go out there and really curate that for you.”

It might be easy to imagine that this kind of dedicated attention is true for owners who live in standalone residences such as Four Seasons Private Residences at 706 Mission, San Francisco. But the same is true at mixed-use properties that are connected to a hotel or resort, which make up the bulk of the Four Seasons residential portfolio.

Owners at mixed-use properties such as Four Seasons Private Residences Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo not only have the attention of an expert residential team, they also enjoy total access to the Resort. “Our [goal is to make] each experience and interaction with every owner personalized to their individual needs,” says General Manager Ian-Robert Ciappara. “Homeowners are part of our community, having full access to all the amenities our Resort guests enjoy. Our amenities and services become an extension of their home and their daily life, to be enjoyed as often as they choose.”

So with the kitchen stocked, house organized, errands taken care of and activities booked, how do residents fill rest of their days? As Eftekhari says: “You get to enjoy your family, you get to enjoy your friends. You get to just enjoy your time. Doesn’t get much better than that.”

Complete peace of mind

Homeownership is a major investment, and protecting that investment is just as important to the on-site residential teams as it is to each owner. Maintaining this high level of trust is especially true with second homes that you may only visit a few times a year. For many homeowners, another benefit of living with Four Seasons is the confidence they have in leaving their home in the team’s care.

“We do not have any worries when we’re away from our home for extended periods of time,” echoes one homeowner at Four Seasons Private Residences Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. “Everything’s monitored and taken care of in our absence and prepared for us when we’re back.”

But what actually happens at your residence when you’re not there? Property management entails taking charge of all administrative aspects of a residence, including renting the property when desired; maintaining the beauty, security and quality of all infrastructures; and ensuring effective and timely relations with all suppliers of goods and services. “Overall, our focus – and our pride – is to allow our residents, their friends and relatives to enjoy their stay with us without any hassle,” says Alexia Douyon, Director of Residences at Four Seasons Private Residences Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo. “No detail is overlooked, and residents can expect tailor-made service and the feeling of [being a part of] a community that truly cares about their well-being.”

As soon as you let the on-site team know you’re coming home, everything is set into motion. Your favourite foods are organized, your home is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for your arrival, and if you’re celebrating a special occasion, the team is excited to make the moment memorable for you. Expect thoughtful surprises like an embroidered robe for a newborn, a room full of balloons to celebrate a milestone or an impromptu birthday parade as genuine gestures of love from your Four Seasons family.

Designer Nicolas Roux drew inspiration from the country’s rich architectural heritage while designing the residences and common space of Four Seasons Private Residences Bahrain.

Design that fits your style

Creating a palpable sense of place is another signature element of Four Seasons Private Residences. From iconic skylines in Bangkok and London to tropical locales like Belize and the Dominican Republic, Four Seasons Private Residences are available in some of the world’s most desirable locations, and the residences themselves are designed to capture the essence of each locale.

At Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas, drawing from the surrounding desert landscape as well as the glamour of Las Vegas was essential to informing the design. Similarly, the sprawling hills and big, blue Texas sky are beautifully showcased in the private homes and community spaces at Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin.

In Los Angeles, the inspiration came from the mid-century architecture and famous Case Study Houses that the city is known for, which meant bringing the outdoors in and the indoors out. “We have all of these amazing terraces, all these wonderful windows that disappear – we’re really capturing that essence,” says Martyn Lawrence Bullard, interior designer of Four Seasons Private Residences Los Angeles.

“The Four Seasons brand is known as a stamp of quality, a seal of perfection,” he continues. “Obviously we wanted [the residences] to have a wonderful luxe feel, but it had to blend with the California experience.”

Owners can also expect the highest quality materials and finishes in every private residence, often using materials that are native to the area or design motifs that nod to local culture. At Four Seasons Private Residences Bahrain Bay, designer Nicolas Roux created a design that pays homage to the exquisite craftsmanship you find in traditional Bahraini architecture. “We brought a focus to the amazing local pearl resources famed across Bahrain by using mother-of-pearl inlay throughout the design in a variety of ways,” says Roux. “We also used a lot of beautiful marble across the floors, walls and architraves, and a Guatemala green verde stone to reference the deeper colours from the spice markets.”

While the designers have put incredible thought into the creation of each residence, there’s still plenty of room to make it your own. “[We’ve created] these beautiful backgrounds, but within those finishes, there’s ways for all the people who buy these apartments to change it up a little, to add their flavour,” says Bullard of the Los Angeles residences.

Ultimately, notes Roux, it’s important that owners feel relaxed, that this is a space where they can feel at home.

At Four Seasons, home is that feeling of belonging and the complete confidence that you’re being taken care of. As homeowner Eftekhari said, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Reconnect with nature in the Dominican Republic

On Playa Esmeralda along the southern shores of Samaná Bay, Four Seasons Private Residences Dominican Republic at Tropicalia is where community, nature and a constantly renewed sense of wonder all come together. Originally conceived by the Cisneros family as a private retreat, Tropicalia has been designed to protect the area’s diverse ecosystems and pristine natural beauty.

This harmony extends to the private beachfront residences. Designed by architect Isay Weinfeld, the 25 residences include 16 three- to four-bedroom Beach Flats and nine single-storey Beachfront Villas. “When studying the area – such beautiful nature untouched – it became clear that the project should be spread around in separate constructions and laid sparsely amid the vegetation,” says Weinfeld. Incorporating natural wood and stone, the residences are effortlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape, with layouts that seamlessly blend indoors and out.

Tropicalia’s residents will enjoy a close relationship with land and sea, not only through the variety of nature-driven activities, water sports and opportunities for exploration, but also through the property’s close relationship with the Cisneros family’s sustainable organic farm, La Querencia. “At Tropicalia, everything is in balance,” says Adriana Cisneros, CEO of Cisneros.

Live next to a marine sanctuary in Belize

Just a 30-minute boat ride or eight-minute flight from the mainland, Four Seasons Private Residences Caye Chapel, Belize, delivers equal parts adventure and serene seclusion. Set in the heart of Belize’s largest marine sanctuary, this is the first private island in the Americas managed by Four Seasons, and as such, homeowners can expect an abundance of world-class amenities along with intuitive, personalized service.

Spend your time relaxing on the white-sand beach, teeing off at the Greg Norman–designed White Shark Golf Course, or on a diving excursion to explore the UNESCO World Heritage–inscribed Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System.

Given its unique environment, conservation is top of mind here on Caye Chapel. Most of the island will be powered through solar energy, with dedicated systems to support recycling and water management. Transportation will also be limited to golf carts, bikes, foot and sea travel, and only 10% of the island will see structural development, while the rest is dedicated to preservation and conservation efforts, nature reserves, outdoor experiences, and more.

Creating a Modern Desert Oasis in Las Vegas

Posted on by Colleen Mitchell

How do you design a home that evokes a unique sense of place? When it came to dreaming up the look and feel of the all-new Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas, the answer was to look to the surrounding landscape. “Using the desert as the primary inspiration was essential, in addition to the glamour of the Las Vegas Strip,” says Hussain Kamal, Associate Vice President at Wimberly Interiors, the renowned firm behind the design.

Located on a private 11-acre elevated enclave with panoramic views of the city, the Red Rock Mountains and the iconic Strip, the brand-new standalone Private Residences – meaning not attached to a hotel or resort – provide the perfect amount of privacy and seclusion, along with easy access to the Las Vegas buzz and energy.

Designing a modern desert home

Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas is a microcosm of the city itself – an oasis surrounded by the Mojave Desert’s rugged beauty. “The surrounding landscape is the hero of the story,” says Kamal. “The interior design reflects it through complementary colours and detailing, and the spaces emphasize how the interior engages with the landscape.” The design brings in the outdoors with natural materials, different textures and specially selected furnishings. Natural stone and wood set the palette, and touches of brushed metal add to the clean, modern luxury feel.

“The goal was to create a resort-style experience with a seamless flow of finishes from the inside out,” adds Mark Yoshizaki, Senior Vice President of award-winning architecture firm Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo, “and to provide opportunities for outdoor living on the large terraces.” All 171 tower residences feature large outdoor living spaces with amenities such as built-in grills and areas for lounging and dining. Penthouse and Junior Penthouse residences have private plunge pools. And with every floorplan, residents can expect unobstructed views from the expansive windows throughout.

Embracing the luxury resort lifestyle

Because loving where you live has to do with what’s outside as well as inside, the amenities at Four Seasons are just as impressive as the homes themselves.

Residents will appreciate the full-service Spa and Fitness Centre that offers personal training, men’s and women’s fitness lounges, sauna and steam rooms, an indoor lap pool, and private and couples’ massage rooms. And because pets are part of the family, too, they can enjoy some pampering at the pet spa.

Outside, the resort-style multi-level pool lets you relax over unobstructed mountain and Las Vegas Strip views, while dedicated attendants ensure your every need is met. Hot tubs, private cabanas and barbecue areas offer opportunities for entertaining and family fun. Inside, a game room, Topgolf Swing Suite, private theatre and kids’ playroom are perfect for entertaining guests or mingling with neighbours.

Noble Heights, an exclusive restaurant experience curated by renowned restauranteur Elizabeth Blau, is also sure to be a dining hotspot. The restaurant highlights responsibly sourced dishes from local and regional purveyors, along with a selection of fresh seafood, in a modern indoor-outdoor setting. Prefer to dine in? Invite your friends over for an elegant dinner party they won’t soon forget. Four Seasons can help arrange it all, including a custom meal created by a private chef in the comfort of your own home. Celebrate with curated plates and cocktails on your terrace overlooking the moonlit desert landscape, or enjoy a cozy, romantic meal just for two. Whatever you’re in the mood for, the dedicated residential team will make it happen.

Welcoming a sense of community

Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas, just 15 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, is set within the country club community of MacDonald Highlands in Henderson, Nevada – a neighbourhood nestled in the Black Mountain foothills and one of the most sought-after area addresses. Four Seasons offers the first and only residential towers in Henderson with dramatic views and a luxury resort lifestyle.

Being part of an established community also comes with its benefits. Residents have the option to access 140,000-plus square feet of amenities provided by the MacDonald Highlands community, including a private par-72 championship golf course. “These additional amenities and services will only add to the overall resort residential lifestyle that our residents are already experiencing with their Four Seasons–branded residence,” says Jim Reilly, President of Azure Resorts and Hotels and developer of the project.

Bringing Four Seasons legendary service home

Las Vegas joins the portfolio of standalone Four Seasons Private Residences around the world, including properties in London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dubai, and Austin. “Our standalone residential offerings present a unique opportunity to live with Four Seasons in destinations that are appealing to luxury homeowners outside the walls of our hotels and resorts, while still delivering the exceptional care and service to residents that is core to our brand,” says Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development and Portfolio Management, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “This new project in Las Vegas is the perfect addition.”

As a standalone property, the community in Las Vegas offers even more privacy and exclusivity to residents. And because it’s managed by an expert Four Seasons team, you can expect the highest calibre of comfort and care. It’s worry-free homeownership at its most intuitive, coupled with premier amenities and exceptional Four Seasons service whenever you need it.
