This year Four Seasons, the world’s leading luxury hospitality and branded residential company will celebrate 40 years of Four Seasons Private Residences.
Renowned for its luxury hospitality and personalized service with 126 prestigious hotels and resorts across 47 countries, the company launched its first private residences in 1985 in Boston.
Since then, it has grown to manage over 5,000 private homes across 56 properties in 21 countries, with more than $12 billion in real estate sold.
Four Seasons Private residences are in the elite “best of the best” category of the branded residences sector.
A Luxury Hospitality Giant Providing Residential Excellence
Founded in 1960 by Isadore Sharp, Four Seasons built its reputation on intuitive, guest-centric service, starting with its first hotel in Toronto.
The company does not own or develop the residences, instead they work with a select group of world class property developers and investment companies in partnership, to create these iconic living spaces.
This strategic approach and deep hospitality experience ensures that upon completion, the residences meet the same high standards that one would expect from a Four Seasons hotel.
“We work closely with development partners to select exceptional locations and deliver innovative architecture and design, backed by our market-leading residential management, Our hospitality heritage allows us to anticipate owners’ needs with the same precision we bring to our hotels, this translates into homes that function as seamlessly as our finest properties.”
Four Seasons Private Residences Ownership Benefits
The Boston residences that marked the debut of the Four Seasons’ branded residential model of integrating hotel like services into residential homes, has expanded into a comprehensive residential lifestyle operation.
