Four Seasons in Europe, the Middle East and Africa: The New Openings

No region is changing faster for Four Seasons than Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This year alone brought the reopening of the legendary Danieli in Venice and a cliffside debut in Mykonos, and the coming years add a hotel beside the temples of Luxor, a return to Berlin, and beach resorts from Zanzibar to the Red Sea. Here is the full picture.

Six new Four Seasons have come online across the region in the anniversary year, spanning the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Red Sea.

On the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia's new resort destinations bring two more: the reef-fringed Four Seasons Resort Red Sea at Shura Island and the wellness-led Four Seasons Resort AMAALA at Triple Bay.

The pipeline reads like a tour of the region's great destinations, ancient and modern.

Also under development are Four Seasons Jeddah at the Corniche (2027), New Cairo Capital at Madinaty (2027), Diriyah (2028) and NEOM at Sindalah (2028) on a Red Sea island.

The established EMEA collection remains among the strongest in the world. In Europe, the George V in Paris, London at Park Lane, Madrid and Milan set the standard for city hotels, while Istanbul at the Bosphorus straddles two continents. In North Africa and the Middle East, Marrakech, Cairo at Nile Plaza, Dubai at Jumeirah Beach and Abu Dhabi anchor the desert cities. And for the wild, Four Seasons Seychelles and the Serengeti Safari Lodge deliver the Indian Ocean and the African plains at their finest.

A Venetian palace, a Nile-side hotel by the Valley of the Kings, and a Serengeti lodge, one collection, one way to book.
