Four Seasons

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts operates luxury city hotels, resorts and branded residences, with a model centred on service rather than points. Unlike most large chains, it has no traditional points-based loyalty programme; guests instead rely on direct booking perks, preferred travel advisors or credit card travel programmes for added benefits. Resort properties include beach, safari, mountain and island destinations, many designed for longer leisure stays with spas, kids' programmes and dining. Four Seasons also sells private jet journeys around the world as packaged luxury trips. The Four Seasons Chat feature lets guests message the property before and during their stay. It suits travellers prioritising consistent luxury service. Expect premium rates, and check what is included, such as breakfast or resort credits, depending on how and where you book.
