Home for the Holidays at Four Seasons Private Residences

Posted on by Jennifer Sanchez

They say the prettiest sight to see during the holidays is the holly on your own front door. For homeowners at Four Seasons Private Residences, that’s especially true. In London, Boston, Los Angeles, Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco and Bangkok, Four Seasons goes the extra mile every holiday season to make sure everyone feels the warmth. However you celebrate, when you live with Four Seasons, coming home always means coming home to family.

Residents can expect a variety of holiday dining events and community activities.

Setting the holiday mood

The smell of fresh-cut Christmas trees, the twinkling of lights, the colourful bows and other holiday décor can instantly put you in the holiday spirit. “Decorating for festive season is one of the most important projects for us,” notes Andra Bodea, Regional Director of Residences at Twenty Grosvenor Square, A Four Seasons Residence. “We aim to set ourselves apart from other residential buildings, and this plays a big role. We try to be very creative and bring excitement every year by transforming the common areas of the building into magic.” Each year, the teams across Four Seasons Private Residences work closely with florists and decorators to decide on a theme and strategize every detail. “We have wonderful partners and floral designers, all masters of their craft, to help us bring holiday cheer to the residences, always with elegance and tact to respect and show love and appreciation to everyone in our community,” says Eric Jausseran, Director of Experiences at Four Seasons Private Residences One Dalton Street, Boston.

And it’s not just Christmas that gets the spotlight at Four Seasons. “On the first night of Hanukkah, residents and employees gather at our menorah prominently displayed in the lobby to celebrate the Festival of Lights,” says Jon Ondrak, Director of Residences at Four Seasons Private Residences Los Angeles. “Throughout the month, we add special touches of holiday cheer around the pool and other building common areas to celebrate the season.”

In Malaysia, the major holidays throughout the year are typically Eid-al-Fitr, Chinese New Year and Deepavali (also known as Diwali). “These festivals reflect the rich cultural diversity and traditions that unite the nation in festive joy and harmony,” says Leena Ong, Director of Residences at Four Seasons Private Residences Kuala Lumpur. “We take great pride and joy in creating a visually warm and enchanting atmosphere in our common areas.” During the last Eid-al-Fitr, for example, decorations included intricate ketupat motifs and vibrant lights and floral arrangements meticulously curated to evoke a sense of joy and ignite the festive spirit. During this time, the team members donned cultural attire fit for the celebration – adding a richness to the festivities and an authentic experience.

While the common areas are often the most elaborate, every residential team also goes above and beyond to assist homeowners with decorating their own residences by facilitating tree delivery, unpacking décor from storage and then helping to take it all down when the time comes. In Boston, getting your holiday décor ready has never been easier. “The first week of December, we are planning a Holiday Tree Sip & Shop Market,” notes Jausseran. “The idea is to bring joy but also to facilitate it with an on-property holiday décor event where residents can come to the lobby and choose their perfect holiday tree and wreaths while enjoying peppermint mimosas, hot cocoa and cookies.”

Four Seasons residential teams are always on hand to help you put together the perfect holiday party, from planning to personal grocery shopping to creating tailored menus.

Festive food and drink

Because many treasured holiday moments are spent enjoying each other’s company around the table, the residential teams put extra care into food and drink options during this time of year. “The holidays, for us, typically start in mid-November, about two weeks before Thanksgiving, with our One Dalton Wine Festival,” says Jausseran. “By bringing together 20 regions and dozens of professionals, the idea is to help our residents choose the perfect wines in time for the holidays and their get-togethers. It’s also a great moment of conviviality.”

In addition to creating thoughtful opportunities for enhancing residents’ holiday planning, the robust food and beverage programs at every property also offer tailored menus, personal grocery shopping and the services of a private chef for Christmas meals or other family gatherings. And although individual families are given personalized service and attention everywhere, many properties also invite residents to celebrate together as a community. At Four Seasons Private Residences at 706 Mission, San Francisco, the season always kicks off with a Friendsgiving in November, hosted by a local restaurant and held in The Club. “Last year, all our residents gathered on the club level, and it was a big success,” says Gina Thomas, Regional Director of Residences. “Michael Mina hosted the event, and he did a cooking demonstration on what to do with Thanksgiving leftovers. He turned leftover stuffing into bread and made an amazing sandwich – our residents loved this.”

Many residents have family in town for the holidays, and the residential teams can help put together itineraries for their visit.

The joy of togetherness

When you reside with Four Seasons, your family becomes a part of something bigger. Many residents have friends and family visiting during this time of year, and the residential teams are ready to welcome them. In Boston, the team at One Dalton invites parents, grandparents and children to a family concert by the world-renowned Boston Symphony Orchestra in November. “We are blessed that the famous orchestra hall is just a five-minute walk from our property. We’ll do it in true Four Seasons fashion, with hot cocoa waiting for the entire family on their return. It will really set the mood for the most magical time of the year.”

For young residents, the holiday season is often filled with thoughts of Santa Claus and presents under the tree. From letters to Santa in San Francisco to cookie decorating and a visit from the red-suited man himself at Four Seasons Private Residences Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, each team makes it a point not only to celebrate children but also to draw out the childlike wonder in everyone.

Giving back to the community

The end of the year is often a time when people reassess their charitable giving and make their final donations. With this in mind, the team in Boston began the One Dalton Holiday Mixer for a Cause, both to help residents decide on their final contributions and to build an even stronger Four Seasons community.

Every year, Four Seasons Private Residences One Dalton Street, Boston also partners with a luxury boutique that generously agrees to donate a significant percentage of the proceeds of the sales from the mixer to the property’s charity of choice. In the past, this has included Italian fashion brands Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli, with proceeds going to local non-profit organizations such as food banks, shelters and parks. “This is a great opportunity to engage our community around a common goal for causes and social impacts close to their hearts,” says Jausseran. “It is also a way for our relatively new property to partner with important neighbours and make a crucial difference within our community.”

There’s a similar spirit of giving at Four Seasons Private Residences Los Angeles, where staff and residents host a clothing and donation drive for families in the greater Los Angeles area, and at Four Seasons Private Residences 706 Mission, San Francisco, where the residents host an annual toy drive.

Personalized service with a twist

Four Seasons always goes above and beyond for residents, especially during this time of year in order to create a luxury Christmas and holiday experience. By getting to know every family throughout the year, supporting them in their holiday traditions becomes second nature. In London at Twenty Grosvenor Square, A Four Seasons Residence, traditions continue even if the homeowners are absent. During a previous Deepavali, the team kept the main door of one apartment open when the owners were not home to respect the tradition of having the door open for good luck and prosperity.

No matter where you live or how you celebrate, the heartfelt moments, thoughtful touches and genuine care make the holidays – and every day – special at Four Seasons.

Private Golf Residences: Living a Golfer’s Dream

Posted on by Jennifer Sanchez

For golf enthusiasts, living on a golf course is the ultimate dream. Even if golf is not your sport of choice, being surrounded by sprawling green spaces and the amenities that come with a golf course community can be enticing. What’s more, those But these perfectly tended lawns offer more than just beautiful views. Property values are typically higher for golf course homes and tend to retain that value over time. Social opportunities and family activities abound, with on-site amenities fostering connection through restaurant experiences, sports offerings and nature adventures.

Four Seasons Private Residences give you the opportunity to access some of the best golf courses – and golf instructors – in the world. Located in idyllic destinations like Cabo Del Sol, Belize, the Bahamas and Las Vegas, these unique communities put championship-level courses right at your doorstep, along with a breadth of off-the-course amenities the whole family can enjoy.

When you look out onto the awe-inspiring mix of desert, mountain and sea found at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, it’s easy to see why Jack Nicklaus called this the “best piece of golf property I’ve ever seen.” He was, of course, talking about the location for his highly acclaimed Cove Club Course (formerly the Ocean Course), which has been recognized as one of the world’s Top 100 golf courses by “Golf Digest.”

The 9-hole reversible course is the centrepiece of the exclusive Cove Club, where owners at Four Seasons Private Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol gather to experience one of the area’s most swimmable beaches, sea- and farm-to-table dining, an abundance of land and water sports, and exclusive access to the course itself. Feel like going straight from the beach to the golf course? No problem. And no need to pack your shoes either – you can play barefoot. Be sure to keep an eye out for the specially equipped VW Kombi cruising the course offering up signature refreshments, or stop by the Airstream Bambi located feet from the waves on the 8th tee box for a mid-course taco break. You’ll also find two Chocitas (which translates to “little shacks” in English) – one after the 4th green and one before the 15th tee – each offering curated sweet and savoury treats as well as thirst-quenching delights, adding to the authentic experience in Cabo Del Sol.

For both avid golfers and those who are new to the sport, one of the most rewarding things to do is to spend some time with Cove Club’s renowned golf instructors, Erik Evans and Carly Schneider. Having worked with tour players, professional athletes and corporate executives, they are among the top PGA Teaching Professionals in the world. With personalized instruction, have fun while taking your game to the next level, knowing you’re in good hands.

“I can’t think of anywhere else in the world you can do what you’re doing in Caye Chapel,” said Greg Norman, champion pro golfer and co-designer of the White Shark Golf Course at Four Seasons Private Residences Caye Chapel, Belize. “The owners today should consider themselves lucky; they bought a piece of paradise.”

Caye Chapel is a one-of-a-kind paradise. This private island resort and residential community offers six miles of pristine coastline surrounded by brilliant blue water, coral reefs and world-class dive sites, including the Great Blue Hole. It’s also the very first private island in the Americas managed by Four Seasons, and as such, it features signature services and an abundance of exclusive amenities. Residents of Caye Chapel will have access to an organic farm and restaurant, a dedicated adventure centre for kids, a full gym and sports complex, an open-air theatre, and a Golf Academy, just to name a few.

For the White Shark Golf Course – which takes its name from Norman’s own moniker “the Great White Shark” – Norman designed a 10-hole course that meanders from horizon to horizon, highlighting stunning ocean views at every turn. “You want to make a player going on a golf course you design to remember every hole,” said Norman. “At Caye Chapel, it’s the Caribbean Sea, it’s the barrier reef system, it’s that fantastic change of water colour as you look out as the sun moves from the east to midday to the west – everything changes with the light.”

A sense of belonging in a Las Vegas golf community

For many golfers, the sense of comradery and connections made while on the course are major draws of the sport. Residential communities with golf courses at their cores often share this focus on social connection. Just 15 miles from the Las Vegas Strip in Henderson, Nevada, MacDonald Highlands is one of those communities. Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas – the latest addition to the Four Seasons collection of standalone Private Residences – will soon welcome MacDonald Highlands’ newest residents into the fold.

A favourite of pro players and amateurs, this course invites golfers of all skill levels to try their hand at its scenic mountainside holes offering panoramic views of the glittering Las Vegas Strip.

An Iconic Landmark in the Making:
Four Seasons Private Residences Istanbul

Posted on by Jennifer Sanchez

Inspired by three millennia of history, the soon-to-open Four Seasons Private Residences Istanbul is set to become one of the most sought-after addresses in an already iconic city. Combining legendary Four Seasons service, world-class amenities and an effortless homeownership experience, this standalone development will set a new standard for luxury living right in the heart of Istanbul. Join us as we take a look inside and uncover the inspiration behind the exciting new development.

Isp 021 970x540 V2

A dynamic neighbourhood filled with history

Located on the European side where the districts of Ulus, Etiler and Levent come together, Four Seasons Private Residences Istanbul offers effortless luxury living in a dynamic and culture-rich neighbourhood. Think of gazing out over the mighty Bosphorus from a streetside café nearby, or stopping in a fashionable boutique for your next unique find. Strolling along the waterfront streets of Bebek, or exploring the hills of Etiler, where the city’s most notable culinary names await – all will be within easy reach.

“Our project is designed to integrate harmoniously with Istanbul’s vibrant atmosphere, conveniently situated near Istanbul’s prominent shopping and dining districts,” says Mesut Toprak, Chairman of the Tay Group, the development partner collaborating with Four Seasons. “We prioritize striking a delicate balance between [helping residents] engage in city activities, while safeguarding family privacy and serenity.” The goal, he says, is for both local and international residents to feel a connection to Istanbul through location, architecture, design and amenities.

This connection is further amplified by the personalized service that Four Seasons is known for. From making dinner reservations and stocking your kitchen with your favourite local pastries, to picking up your custom order from a designer shop nearby, the dedicated Four Seasons team will go the extra mile to make sure you feel right at home.

Design that merges the past, present and future

The residences themselves spread across four blocks in three ultra-modern towers and one low-rise building. A curated mix of Garden Suites, Apartment Residences, Penthouses and a Sky Loft, the 82 homes will have open-concept living spaces perfect for entertaining and relaxation in equal measure.

We view the architectural designs and materials not solely as historical tributes; they represent the ongoing sophistication of Istanbul’s urban landscape. – Mesut Toprak, Chairman of the Tay Group

Because no two Four Seasons residences are exactly alike, you can expect each residence to be fully customized. “We provide 46 distinctive floor plans catering to diverse lifestyles and preferences. This includes everything from expansive six-bedroom family apartments to minimalist two-bedroom urban living spaces that prioritize comfort without compromise,” Toprak says. “Nestled in one of Istanbul’s most prestigious areas, our apartments reflect the essence of both traditional Instanbulite and modern urban living. They are thoughtfully designed to provide rare urban sanctuaries, featuring terraces and gardens that present homeowners with a chance to relish their own private green spaces amid the urban landscape – a cornerstone of our design philosophy.”

Given the project’s iconic location, Toprak says, its architecture can be seen as a continuation of the residential architectural styles that emerged in the nearby Nişantaşı and Beyoğlu (formerly Pera) districts during the 19th century. However, “we view the architectural designs and materials not solely as historical tributes; they represent the ongoing sophistication of Istanbul’s urban landscape.”

Those with an eye for architecture, he notes, will find themselves immersed in detecting how these elements intertwine, showcasing the rich tapestry of Istanbul’s past and present.

Most of the residences will fall within two categories: Garden Suites and Apartment Residences. The Garden Suites will provide the option of single-floor or duplex homes, each featuring private garden terraces accessible through floor-to-ceiling sliding windows. The Apartment Residences will range from two-bedroom to five-bedroom apartments, offering flexibility and comfort made to suit families or those looking for a luxurious Istanbul pied-à-terre.

Set atop each of the three residential towers will be the Penthouse Residences: ultra-exclusive homes featuring 7-metre-high (23-foot-high) ceilings and living areas focused on an expansive outdoor terrace. The primary bedroom on the upper floor will boast panoramic views and a distinctive crown attribute. Floor-to-ceiling windows will drench each Penthouse in natural light throughout the day, creating an impressive and tranquil space that showcases stunning city vistas.

The other crown jewel will be the Sky Loft Residence, perched on the low-rise building in the centre of the complex. Characterized by high-sloped ceilings and skylight windows in both the bedroom and living areas, the Sky Loft is designed to capitalize on the feeling of spaciousness. The interiors of this bright and airy residence optimize the interplay of space and light, augmented by innovative glass ceilings that maximize city views for an inspiring environment year round.

A sustainable and high-tech approach

Energy-efficient buildings, sustainable materials and green living are a priority at all Four Seasons properties, and they also rank high on the priority list for homebuyers. The team behind the residential property in Istanbul understands the crucial role sustainability holds not only in various aspects of real estate development but also in enhancing the well-being, productivity and overall satisfaction of residents and the community.

“Our commitment to sustainability is at the forefront of our design philosophy. In our quest to create living spaces that nurture both residents and the environment, we have integrated a multitude of eco-friendly features. Our project proudly meets the rigorous standards set by the LEED certification,” says Toprak. LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – is the world’s foremost green building rating system. “By prioritizing energy efficiency, optimizing air circulation, implementing rainwater collection and purification systems, and mitigating light and sound pollution, these residences work to benefit the environment, society and investors alike,” says Toprak.

In addition to intelligent building design, the residences will feature environmentally friendly VRF air conditioning and state-of-the-art under-floor heating, plus noise-cancelling technology and full insulation between residences. The complex itself will feature a parking structure with electric vehicle charging stations and advanced automation designed for 21st-century living.

An extension of your living space

When you live with Four Seasons, you’re not just getting an amazing home, you also gain access into an exclusive lifestyle. As a standalone property – meaning one that’s not connected to a hotel or resort – Four Seasons Private Residences Istanbul will be home to an array of world-class amenities tailored specifically for residential use.

“Our intent is for residents to enjoy the shared amenities as a seamless extension of their homes – an extra kitchen, a treatment room and a cinema room equipped with a superior audiovisual system,” says Toprak. “We believe this goal aligns perfectly with Four Seasons hospitality standards.”

Self-care is made easy at the state-of-the-art spa featuring a sauna, steam rooms and a heated indoor swimming pool perfect for morning swims surrounded by natural light. You can also relax on the outdoor garden deck, spend some time in the fully equipped fitness centre or the private yoga and Pilates studio, or opt for a relaxing spa treatment in the privacy of your residence.

A golf simulator suite, stylish multi-purpose lounges, and private cinema furnished with luxe leather seating and leading-edge AV technology will be perfect for days when you’re hosting guests or looking for fun. The family-friendly residential complex will also boast a bright and well-stocked kids’ playroom, as well as a young adult room featuring everything from table tennis and chess to video games to keep young residents and their friends entertained.

“The common spaces were meticulously crafted to evoke a residential ambience, seamlessly extending the essence of the apartments,” shares Toprak. “Our focus was on creating a fluid transition from the entrance to the amenities, inviting homeowners to enjoy the luxury of amenities reminiscent of their own homes.”

A history of excellence

Four Seasons has set the benchmark for hospitality in Istanbul for more than 30 years. In partnership with the Tay Group, both Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus and Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet were meticulously restored to become the renowned luxury hotels in Istanbul that they are today.

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, 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.
