Four Seasons has long understood a simple truth: some people don’t just want to visit their favorite destinations. They want to actually live in the places that have provided their best memories. For more than 40 years, the brand has turned that idea into reality, starting with its first residence in Boston and growing into a global portfolio that now spans 55 residential properties across 20 countries. In the world of branded living, it’s the equivalent of being both the seasoned expert and the one everyone else keeps trying to catch up with.
Today, its residential business isn’t just thriving; it’s shaping the future of the company. A full 65% of Four Seasons’ mixed-use development pipeline includes homes, from Park City to Naples, Orlando to the Red Sea, The Bahamas to Bahrain Bay. The growth isn’t random; it’s the result of knowing exactly what luxury homeowners actually want: a beautiful place to land, paired with a lifestyle that’s seamless and perfectly personal.
That’s where Four Seasons stands apart. The brand is one of the few that stays on as long-term property manager, handling everything from concierge magic to the everyday details that make home feel effortless. Each residence has its own dedicated Four Seasons team, led by a Director of Residences, who essentially become an extension of the household. Someone to make life smoother, calmer, and, frankly, more enjoyable. It’s not just real estate; it’s high-end living supported by people who genuinely care.
And while the service is consistent, the settings could not be more distinct. In fact, one of the flexes of Four Seasons is how often its homes are tucked inside extraordinary historic buildings; places that come with their own personality, cultural roots, and architectural allure.
Take Four Seasons Private Residences New Orleans, for instance. This modernist icon completed by Edward Durell Stone in 1968 is a compass-shaped tower that lines up perfectly with the cardinal directions. It's a little architectural wink to the city’s longstanding role in global trade. The building stands on the National Register of Historic Places, yet inside, everything feels warm, polished, and distinctly New Orleans in spirit.
In New York, the Four Seasons Hotel and its private residences occupy one of the city’s most prestigious addresses—a limestone-and-glass statement piece designed by I.M. Pei and Frank Williams, with dramatic 33-foot ceilings and interiors shaped by Pierre-Yves Rochon and Peter Marino. It’s as grand as you’d hope, but somehow still feels like a welcome respite in the middle of Manhattan.
Across the country, Four Seasons Private Residences San Francisco at 706 Mission Street bridges past and present in a building with serious staying power. The historic Aronson Building—originally crafted in 1903 in the celebrated “Chicago School” style—has survived two major earthquakes and remains one of the city’s architectural gems. Today, it sets the tone for a residence that honors its history without living in it.
If you want something even more transportive, Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Madrid spans seven historic buildings in the city center. Its Royal Suite is frozen in time from 1887, complete with original details and antiques like an English mahogany drum table from the era of George III. It feels like stepping into a European novel—one where room service is always impeccable.
Or head to Cartagena, where the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences bring new life to some of the city’s most culturally significant structures, including the 16th-century San Francisco Temple and the Beaux-Arts glamour of Club Cartagena from the 1920s. Just steps away, the Walled City hums with local life, breezy plazas, and the feeling that history is something you can walk into.
In London, Twenty Grosvenor Square, A Four Seasons Residence carries a different kind of legacy—it once housed the U.S. Naval Forces in Europe. Award-winning architects Squire & Partners honored the building’s character while reimagining it for contemporary living. The result is a residence with gravitas, charm, and British refinement
Across all of these destinations—historic temples, landmark towers, storied squares—the common thread is simple: Four Seasons blends iconic real estate with genuine, human-centered service. The architecture draws you in; the lifestyle makes you stay.
For homeowners seeking comfort, privacy, and a sense of belonging, Four Seasons delivers the peace of knowing your home isn’t only beautiful, it’s cared for, understood, and thoughtfully supported every single day. Whether it’s a vacation home or the place you hang your hat year-round, the experience marries timeless design with the kind of personalized service that only Four Seasons can pull off. And that’s exactly why these addresses continue to be the ones people dream of calling home.
