Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is a Canadian luxury hospitality company founded in 1961 by Isadore Sharp. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the company operates more than 120 hotels and resorts and over 50 residential properties across 47 countries.

The company is renowned for its highly personalized 24-hour service, elegant accommodations, and a commitment to creating lasting impressions for its guests. Four Seasons consistently ranks among the world's best hotel brands in guest surveys, travel awards, and industry ratings.

In 2007, Four Seasons became majority-owned by Bill Gates through Cascade Investment and Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal through Kingdom Holding Company. As of January 2022, Cascade Investment owns 71.25% and Kingdom Holding Company owns 23.75% of Four Seasons.

The company operates on a management-only business model, meaning it does not own any of its properties but manages them on behalf of real estate owners and developers. This approach allows Four Seasons to focus on delivering exceptional service and maintaining the high standards associated with its brand.

In addition to its hotels and resorts, Four Seasons has expanded its offerings to include residential rentals and luxury yacht experiences. Since June 2014, the company offers vacation rentals under the "Residential Rentals" brand, providing the same service quality in a residential setting.

These properties are available in various locations worldwide, including North America, Africa, Europe, and Asia.

In September 2022, Four Seasons announced the launch of Four Seasons Yachts, marking its entry into the luxury cruise market. The first ultra-luxury super yacht, "Four Seasons I," is scheduled to enter service in January 2026, offering guests an unparalleled cruising experience.

The company's commitment to excellence is evident in its consistent recognition by industry leaders. Four Seasons has been named one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For" by Fortune every year since 1998, ranking No. 47 in 2015.

Its restaurants have also received accolades with 29 Michelin stars awarded to 20 of its establishments, including properties in Hong Kong, Paris, Beijing, and Florence.
