Iconic Addresses:
At Home With Four Seasons

Posted on by Alycee Byrd

The way we live – and work – is changing. But, in spite of our ever-evolving world, a universal truth remains: Home really is wherever the heart is.

And where is the heart? It’s with our families, friends and loved ones, of course, but it’s also in the places where we find comfort and ease, renewal and rejuvenation, and space for imagination. When you call Four Seasons Private Residences home, you’re invited to discover hidden corners, breathtaking architecture, and world-class art and culture in iconic destinations any day of the week – with Four Seasons team members by your side or just a message away on the award-winning Four Seasons app.


“Our residents live with us for a reason,” says Reed Kandalaft, General Manager at Four Seasons Residences. “This is not just a typical building. We want to know what you like – and how you like it – so we can go out there and really curate an experience for you.”

It’s all in the details, which is why Four Seasons pays attention to even the smallest ones. Across the global residential portfolio, experts – from mindful spa practitioners and yoga instructors to sous chefs and personal concierges – connect you more deeply to the world around you.

“We really hire the best of the best,” Kandalaft says. “We get to know our residents.”

Team members’ extraordinary dedication to hospitality and service means they’re able to anticipate your needs and provide peace of mind. They’ll create an environment that’s conducive to working from home or learning online. They’ll ensure round-the-clock security to the property, whether you are at home or away.

Kyoto

Kyoto is filled with the poetry of the world: Pale shades of pink paint the city in sakura (cherry blossom) season, traditional tea ceremonies soothe the soul with flavours of roasted sencha and sugary wagashi, and sounds of geishas’ koutas (little songs) fill the air. Four Seasons Hotel Residences Kyoto builds upon this storied culture and history – with contemporary designs and modern conveniences – in the heart of the scenic Higashiyama temple district.

Wander the tree-lined paths surrounding the 800-year-old ikeniwa garden pond, savour the freshest seafood at Michelin-starred Sushi Wakon, and enjoy exclusive access to the Hotel’s 20-metre indoor pool.

Expecting visitors? Your dedicated concierge can grant discreet access to friends or family of your choosing. Upon arrival, your guests will take in the sight of the architecturally magnificent entrance and receive a warm and personal welcome from our team. Explore the city’s best dining and shopping, take loved ones on a scenic tour to nearby temples aboard a Four Seasons rickshaw, or simply stay at home by the fireplace.

Imagine your very own private garden. Would you host lively pool parties or intimate dinners under a blanket of stars? At Four Seasons Private Residences at M Avenue, you can do both – in total privacy above the Red City surrounded by the Atlas Mountains.

Located between ancient medina walls and the sophisticated Ville Nouvelle neighborhood, all residences include expansive indoor-outdoor living areas built for entertaining and spa-like spaces that allow for total relaxation. Connect with fellow residents during exclusive social events on property. Or, if you prefer, take advantage of amenities at Four Seasons Resort Marrakech, from recharging in steamy hammams before easing into a Moroccan spa ritual to sipping a perfect pot of mint tea under palm fronds before dinner at Inara.

When you’re ready, endless adventures await: Venture towards the Agafay Desert and view the rocky landscape on the back of a camel, get inspired during a private tour of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, or simply explore spice stalls and carpet souks for Moroccan treasures with a bespoke itinerary in hand.

New Orleans

The energy of New Orleans is unmistakable: Jazz music dots street corners, charming streetcars allow for easy exploration, and some of America’s top chefs treat discerning palates to unforgettable meals. It’s a city that constantly evolves, bringing distinct influences together to create something entirely new.

Opening mid-2021, Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences New Orleans is set within an iconic 34-storey tower completed in 1968 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the city’s founding. Designed by legendary architect Edward Durell Stone, the residences set within this iconic address – recognized on the National Register of Historic Places – celebrate the city’s rebirth and renewal.

Inside, your residence is a private oasis. Floor-to-ceiling windows welcome unimpeded views of the Garden District, up Canal Street and over the Central Business District, out to the French Quarter or downriver to the Gulf. Head downstairs to find downtown’s new culinary destination – two signature Four Seasons restaurants – or pick up your vehicle at a dedicated porte-cochère entrance before a night or day on the town.

Southern hospitality, creativity and collaboration collide in Nashville. And within the upmarket neighborhood of SoBro, you can be at the center of it all at Four Seasons Private Residences Nashville, opening in 2022.

Unwind in total privacy on the resident-only 14th-floor garden or see the city come alive from the 40th floor Grand Penthouse – one of the highest in Tennessee. No matter where you happen to be, each home sits high above the city, with large expanses of glass that let you take in far-reaching views of the city, famous arched bridges on the Cumberland River, and the rolling hills beyond.

Stay in and request a custom menu from the private executive chef, or go out to try one of the city’s newest Southern restaurants for vibrant food, cocktails and music.

Cabo Del Sol is in the heart of the Golden Corridor, an ideal location for thrill-seekers searching for transformative adventures both on and off solid ground. At the heart of it all is Four Seasons Private Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol, opening mid-2023.

Along a two-mile stretch of pristine coastline, you can find an underwater wonderland of coves and reefs teeming with wildlife. Swim and snorkel the day away – or simply watch migrating humpback whales with a cocktail in hand. Inland, take in the unspoiled beauty of the desert mountains on a mountain bike or 4×4 before sitting down to a swoon-worthy picnic. Then, return home to inviting spaces for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.

Later, take in the unparalleled nightlife of Cabo Del Sol, strolling by colourful colonial architecture and into world-class boutiques, galleries and restaurants.

Your Most Instagrammable Day in Toronto

Posted on by Alyssa Williams

World-class museums, thoroughly charming neighborhoods and a restaurant selection even New Yorkers would envy – it’s no surprise that Toronto is tops. We turned to guests and staff of the 55-storey Four Seasons Hotel Toronto – the flagship property in the Four Seasons portfolio, not to mention the birthplace of the brand – for their most shareable memories, including what room service to order for breakfast and where to nab a cocktail in a 19th-century former speakeasy. Here, get a play-by-play rundown of Toronto’s most cinematic sights.

MORNING

Sunrise Sustenance

There’s no better place to catch the sunrise over Toronto’s tony Yorkville neighborhood than from your sumptuous bed, overlooking floor-to-ceiling windows that peep out on the city.

All 259 guest rooms feature down-swathed Signature Four Seasons beds – the ideal lounging spot for awaiting room service. “For a sunrise view, request a room facing east,” says Carolina Avaria, the Hotel’s Chef Concierge and Director of Communications for Les Clefs d’Or, an organization of the globe’s top hotel concierges. Her go-to room service breakfast orders? “The lemon ricotta pancakes are our trademark breakfast item if you’re looking for something sweet. For something savoury, the avocado toast and the Canadian breakfast never disappoint. And we also have healthy smoothies, including the Blueberry Antioxidant and the Power Green.”

Kick Off the Day with Culture

Among the most beloved sites in Toronto, Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) – the largest museum in the country – provides a sophisticated start to your day. “It’s just a block away from our Hotel, which is phenomenal,” Avaria says of the 1914 museum, which sports a glass and aluminum façade by architect Daniel Libeskind called The Crystal. “They have the best rock collection in the world and the largest exhibition of Chinese artifacts outside of China. You can spend two hours to an entire day in there, and it’s only a seven-minute walk away.” Don’t leave without stopping by the 6,000-square-foot Institute for Contemporary Culture, where modern works (from street art to style star photography) take center stage.

AFTERNOON

Pretty Pick-Me-Up

If you’re feeling peckish after nonstop gaping at the museum, swing by family-owned Sorelle and Co. – one of Avaria’s favourite spots for a restorative afternoon coffee or tea and gluten-free, vegan sweets. “It’s adorable, with seriously perfect, Instagrammable decor,” she says. “Not only is it a great, cozy atmosphere, but it’s truly beautiful, with little roses on each round table. The walls are all glass, so you can see outside to Yorkville.” Order a Toronto-made Sloane tea (the vanilla bean rooibos is a classic) and a lemon brûlée tart for a bit of edible R & R.

Brunch With a Side of History

“Bar Reyna is housed in an old row house built in the 1850s,” says Avaria, who has lived and worked in Yorkville for 16 years. “In the 1960s there was a massive hippie movement, and all of the Americans avoiding the draft came to Yorkville.” At Bar Reyna, a former speakeasy, Mediterranean-inspired dishes like baklava French toast in mulberry syrup lure – as does the leafy back patio. Avaria’s cocktail of choice? The Mezcal Smokeshow. “I love it because it’s rimmed with Hawaiian black salt, a unique ingredient I haven’t seen anywhere else.”

Lap Time

Take a leisurely walk back to the Hotel through the bustling Yorkville neighborhood, and then head to the ninth floor for a dip in the 13-metre-long pool, where floor-to-ceiling windows reveal the surrounding cityscape. “All Hotel and Spa guests have full access to the pool and adjacent whirlpool, which are ideal for either a relaxing soak or vigorous exercise,” Avaria says. “Guests love standing out on the Spa’s terrace to take in the view.” Upgrade your swim with a Spa treatment, such as a Himalayan Salt Stone Massage, during which you’ll be rubbed down with the 200-million-year-old mineral.

EVENING

Dine in Style

Among the dozens of truly exquisite restaurants in Toronto, the Hotel’s own French brasserie Café Boulud is touted as the best in the city. “It’s one of celebrity chef Daniel Boulud’s only two restaurants in all of Canada, with beautiful mid-century interior design by London-based Martin Brudnizki,” Avaria says. “The menu, designed in collaboration with Chef Boulud and Chef de Cuisine Sylvain Assié, is rooted in soulful French cuisine inspired by Lyonnaise classics and Boulud’s upbringing on a family farm in the small village of Saint-Pierre-de-Chandieu.” The most ordered dish? The rotisserie chicken, which is slowly cooked to perfection on what Avaria deems the Rolls-Royce of rotisseries, a Rotisol imported directly from France. “Another standout: the plateau de fruits de mer, a seafood tower including oysters, shrimp, crab, clams, mussels and half-lobster. For dessert, you must order the profiteroles, which are one of the most popular desserts in all of Toronto on Instagram.”

A Bubbly Finish

The preferred way to cap off a delicious day in Toronto is by sipping your favourite Champagne from your private soaking tub lofted over the city. “Every room in our Hotel has a bathtub, but book the Presidential or Royal suite to enjoy a soak by a window overlooking Yorkville,” Avaria says. Custom-made body products tailored specifically for the Hotel by Vicolo Fiori’s fragrance line with Etro Milano amplify this only-in-Toronto treat.
