Four Seasons Turns 65: Every New Opening Defining 2026 and Beyond
September 2026 · 10 min read
Four Seasons opened its first hotel in 1961. Sixty-five years later, the company operates more than 130 hotels and resorts and over 50 residential properties in 47 countries, with more than 60 projects under development, the largest pipeline it has ever had. For anyone who plans travel around great hotels, the next few years read like a wish list. Here is the full map: what has just opened, and what is coming, region by region.
The Class of 2026
This anniversary year alone brought more than ten new hotels and resorts online: the Danieli in Venice, Four Seasons Hotel Mykonos, Mallorca at Formentor, Rabat, the Red Sea and AMAALA resorts in Saudi Arabia, Mauritius at Anahita, and, across the Atlantic, Cartagena, the Naples Beach Club and Puerto Rico. We cover all of them, and how to book, in our guide to the new Four Seasons hotels now open.
Islands, Mountains and Cities
The Americas pipeline is the deepest, spanning a private island in Belize, two new ski resorts in the Rockies, and reimagined city landmarks from Charleston to Rio.
Caye Chapel
A six-mile private island with overwater bungalows and premier access to a UNESCO wonder, Four Seasons' most ambitious Caribbean debut.
Jacksonville
A cutting-edge hotel and residences set to anchor the Jacksonville Shipyards, close to the city's sports and waterfront.
Two Rockies Ski Resorts
Ski-in, ski-out resorts and residences in Deer Valley's new East Village and in Telluride's Mountain Village, joining an elite alpine collection.
Rio de Janeiro
A reimagined landmark on Leblon beach, with 120 rooms and suites and sweeping ocean views.
Charleston
An eight-storey hotel and residences in the historic centre, blending modern luxury with Southern charm.
Grand Hotels and New Frontiers
Europe gains a Berlin landmark; the Middle East and Africa see some of the most singular projects anywhere, from a hotel beside the temples of Luxor to a resort on the beaches of Zanzibar.
Berlin
Four Seasons reimagines the historic Hotel de Rome in the heart of Mitte, a long-awaited return to the German capital.
Luxor
A hotel on the Nile with views to the Valley of the Kings and Queens, a base for the greatest concentration of ancient wonders on earth.
Zanzibar
A second Tanzanian address to pair with the Serengeti, on the white-sand beaches of the island's east coast.
Porto Heli
A beachfront estate in the southeastern Peloponnese, with Aegean views and access to some of Greece's most beautiful cruising waters.
The region's pipeline also includes Jeddah at the Corniche (2027), New Cairo Capital at Madinaty (2027), Diriyah (2028) and NEOM at Sindalah (2028), a striking Red Sea island resort. In the meantime, the existing EMEA collection, from the George V in Paris to the Serengeti Safari Lodge, is covered in our Four Seasons EMEA openings guide.
Three Cities to Watch
Asia Pacific's additions are urban and beachfront both: a beach resort in Okinawa and towers in two of Asia's most dynamic cities.
Okinawa
A beachfront resort and residences on the western coast of Japan's subtropical island, embodying its natural and cultural surroundings.
Shanghai
A second Shanghai hotel in a premium location, blending the city's historic charm with its urban energy.
