When you stay at Four Seasons, you can pack your bags knowing that you’ve chosen a destination that offers whatever you’re in the mood for – last-minute changes included.

Located in the heart of Florence, Four Seasons Hotel Firenze offers a refuge within a bustling cultural hub. The Hotel’s grand historic building dates back to the 1400s and features rich architecture with Renaissance detailing, fresco-lined walls and a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant. The wonder continues outside, where you’ll find charming statues, a small Ionic temple, perfectly manicured lawns and curved walking paths in the expansive 11-acre Giardino della Gherardesca. It’s the perfect setting for a romantic picnic under majestic trees or a picturesque hilltop dinner with Duomo views.

And when you’re ready to explore the city, you’re within walking distance of historic sites and world-class museums. After you’ve gazed upon Sandro Botticelli paintings at Uffizi Gallery, crossed the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge and sampled authentic Italian dishes at the Mercato Centrale Florence, come back to the Hotel to unwind with a dip in the garden pool or just revel in the natural beauty found within the walled garden oasis. For an unforgettable end to your day, let Four Seasons set an intimate table for you and your love on a private, open-air terrace on the Ponte Vecchio and indulge in a four-course gourmet meal designed by the talented culinary team as you watch the sun set over the Arno River.

Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, Surfside, Florida, occupies a nine-acre stretch of beachfront in pedestrian-friendly Surfside. This historic property has exuded coastal elegance since opening its doors on New Year’s Eve in 1930. Its oceanfront rooms and bungalows offer unobstructed sea and bayside views. Make it a low-key cabana day by the pool or start your morning with a sunrise beach picnic with all your favourite breakfast items. If it’s privacy you’re after, you can enjoy a peaceful float in your own private rooftop pool in the exclusive Marybelle Penthouse Suite.

When you’re rested and ready to shop, the luxury boutiques of Bal Harbour are just blocks away. The art deco architecture, modern art galleries, celebrity-chef eateries and independent fashion shops of South Beach are also close by. And once the sun sets, city’s legendary nightlife offers plenty of options for any mood you’re in – from high-energy dance clubs to chic champagne bars, the Concierge team always has plenty of recommendations for where to find the best nightclubs in Miami and can help you find the perfect fit.

What happens in Vegas … can be surprisingly relaxing. Envision a version of Las Vegas that is quiet and serene. Imagine balancing the energy and nightlife of one of the greatest entertainment destinations with the breathtaking natural wonders nearby. You’ll find that balance at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, a tranquil Five Diamond oasis in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. It’s one of the only non-gaming and non-smoking hotels on the strip, and one of the biggest draws is its Forbes Five-Star Spa. Here, you can pick your pool experience: opt for a cabana at the Hotel’s private pool or lounge by a real-sand beach with access to the pool complex at the nearby Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. If you’re more of an adventurer, set your sights off the strip entirely and let the Concierge plan a day of exploring the Grand Canyon or the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. On your return, find an array of personalized spa services at your fingertips.

If you want to experience Vegas nightlife like a local, the Concierge can also point you towards some of the best spots both on and off the strip. Whether you’re in the mood for a low-key or VIP experience, this city has it all.

Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane is an icon of refined elegance, offering newly renovated rooms and spacious suites as well as a Forbes Five-Star Spa overlooking Hyde Park and the city’s skyline.

For a night out, let the Concierge arrange for a private Thames River cruise, a trip to the theatre, tickets to a concert or sporting event at Wembley Stadium, or a tasting experience at Chef Yannick Alléno’s recently opened Pavyllon London.

After a day exploring the city, retreat to the Hotel for an ultra-relaxing night’s sleep aided by curated experiences that induce restorative sleep and improved mental well-being. Sleep-focused spa treatments include the Four Seasons Signature Deep Sleep Lavender Massage – the perfect way to end a day of sightseeing. The treatment begins with a rich, aromatic blend of herbs including English-grown lavender warmed to soothe tired feet, followed by a full-body massage designed to induce a deep slumber.

Few things capture the unique energy of a city more than live, local music – and you’ll find one of the best local music scenes in Austin, Texas. Given its multitude of bars, music venues and dance clubs, it’s been dubbed the Live Music Capital of the World®, and you’ll find every style here. But that’s not all this city offers. Maybe you’ve become a Grand Prix fan and you’re eager to see why Austin is such a draw for Formula 1 enthusiasts. Or maybe it’s the eclectic dining scene you’re wanting to explore. Whatever your reason for visiting this capital city, you won’t have any trouble finding things to see, do and eat.

Located right off bustling South Congress Avenue, Four Seasons Hotel Austin offers a laid-back spot to relax and reset. You’ll find tranquillity on the Hotel’s tree-covered grounds on the shores of Lady Bird Lake, an outdoor playground offering access to a range of on-the-water activities such as kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, miles of lakeside trails, lawn games, a saltwater pool, and oak-shaded Adirondack chairs for chatting with friends. But once you’ve covered miles of dance floors throughout Austin, you’ll want to retreat to the most relaxing area of the Hotel for signature spa treatments infused with Texas-grown sage and other indigenous ingredients to help soothe tired muscles and rejuvenate your senses. Once you’ve finished at the Spa, head back to your room and place an order with the Hotel’s exclusive on-demand Margarita Cart – available at the push of a button – to have a bartender serve you handcrafted margaritas in the comfort of your own room.
