Happy Thursday Hidden Gem Travel community! Before I left for France, I attended a preferred partner ‘roadshow’ at the Four Seasons New York hotel where I met key contacts from Four Seasons hotels and resorts around the globe. Developing relationships in the travel industry is key to upleveling the client experience, so I make it a priority to attend those events that are aligned with my client’s preferences. As a preferred partner with Four Seasons, my clients get perks that they can’t access themselves, so it always makes sense to book through me.
While Four Seasons properties are 5-star level in quality and service, they deliver on your investment in time and money. I’ve had couples and families rave about their experiences who now are devotees.
When I was in Egypt last month, I toured the Four Seasons Cairo, and it was a stunning, well-located property right on the Nile with some exciting plans for expansion. The hotel manager said to contact him every time I book a client so they can provide VIP treatment!
Read on for the scoop on just a few of the most interesting properties that were represented at the roadshow…
READY TO BOOK MY 4 SEASONS VACATION
Host Hotel – Four Seasons New York
The Four Seasons New York on East 57th street rolled out the red carpet for NYC area based preferred partner travel advisors! We were greeted with champagne and some amazing light bites. The Omakase station was delish!
The space was filled with representatives from Four Seasons hotels around the globe, and it was invaluable to hear their updates and unique offerings for Hidden Gem Travel clients.
💎 Hidden Gem Tip: Preferred partner perks for clients vary by property but typically include breakfast daily and resort credit. That’s money in your pocket!
City Hotels and Coastal Resorts
Four Seasons offers well-located and appointed hotels in major cities around the globe. Whether you find yourself in New York City, Tokyo, Rome, or Cairo like I did recently, Four Seasons offers a level of service and comfort you can rely upon.
Four Seasons resorts are gorgeous and a perfect setting to relax and unplug! If you watch White Lotus on HBO Max, you’re familiar with Four Seasons Maui, Sicily, and (streaming now) Thailand to give you an idea. However, lesser known Four Seasons resorts like Tamarindo in Mexico are amazing hidden gems.
Treat Yourself
While Four Seasons prices in the luxury range, you will truly uplevel and enhance your vacation experience. When clients say to me that they see their accommodations as just a place just to sleep, I remind them that it’s actually your home away from home. This reframe is important when building an itinerary for special vacation.
The best hotels and resorts know that comfort, service, and attention to detail help to create unforgettable memories and loyalists. Treat yourself – you’ll be a VIP guest and won’t regret it!
To travel is to live… here’s to 2025 being an unforgettable and amazing year for new travel adventures! Let’s go…
