Through a continual elevation of its global luxury ecosystem, Four Seasons celebrates a leading recognition by Forbes Travel Guide, earning the most Five-Star rankings of any company for the tenth consecutive year. Four Seasons holds a total of 65 Five-Star rankings across 44 hotels and resorts, 17 spas, and 4 restaurants.
Reaffirming its position as the world leader in luxury hospitality, Four Seasons plans to operate 180 properties under its single brand by 2033. The company’s steadfast growth, strategic expansion, exceptional restorations, and robust development pipeline are all made possible by its dedicated employees. At each touchpoint, the team of more than 50,000 continue to reaffirm Four Seasons success across the brand’s dynamic collection of luxury travel offerings that are available on land, at sea, and in the air.
“This recognition is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our teams worldwide, whose dedication to genuine care and personalized service define the Four Seasons experience,” says Alejandro Reynal, President and Chief Executive Officer, Four Seasons. “As we continue to grow, we remain true to the foundation that has shaped Four Seasons into what it is today. Looking ahead, we continue to harness the strength of our brand to drive innovation, unlock our full potential and elevate our portfolio of exceptional hotels and resorts.”
This year, Forbes Travel Guide welcomed Four Seasons Hotel Baku, and luxury spas at Four Seasons properties in Dubai, Doha, and Fort Lauderdale to its elite group of Five-Star ranked accommodations and experiences. Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC celebrates 20 consecutive years of holding the Five-Star designation from Forbes Travel Guide, and Four Seasons properties in Geneva, Florence, Paris, and Costa Rica are each celebrating ten consecutive years of holding the celebrated accolade.
“Four Seasons continues to be a standout luxury brand on our annual list,” says Amanda Frasier, President, Ratings, Forbes Travel Guide. Its 2025 winning properties exemplify the current demand to travel with a more discerning eye on adventure and well-being, combined with staff who are passionate about elevating the guest experience.

Now in its fifth year, the Employee of the Year awards by Forbes Travel Guide were introduced to honour those who exemplify remarkable performance both within luxury hospitality and with their teams behind the scenes. This added recognition builds on the discerning ranking of hotels, resorts, spas, and restaurants by Forbes Travel Guide to also celebrate the people who make these experiences possible.
