Four Seasons Continues Growth Trajectory on Land, in the Air and at Sea

Four Seasons continues to expand its iconic portfolio of hotels, resorts and residences while creating experiential travel products on land, at sea, and in the air. 

“We are honouring the foundational heritage that has made Four Seasons the irreplicable company it is today, while remaining focused on unlocking our full potential with a clear vision for growth,” says Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO. 

“At the heart of our success are our people – empowered and engaged employees who bring our renowned culture of personalized, caring service to life. With the strength of our singular luxury brand, we are well-positioned to seize opportunities, drive innovation, and build on our legacy of excellence.”

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of partnership and investment by the company’s long-time shareholders: Bill Gates through his holding company Cascade Investment, L.L.C.; Saudi businessman Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal and his Kingdom Holding Company; and Four Seasons Founder and Chairman Isadore Sharp through Triples Holdings Limited. 

The 93-year-old Sharp opened the first Four Seasons hotel on Jarvis Street in Toronto in 1961. The company’s head office remains in that city. By 2033, Four Seasons plans to operate 180 properties globally, solidifying its position as the world’s largest operator of luxury properties under a single brand.

Four Seasons growth trajectory includes strategic expansion into key destinations, highlighted by landmark openings, exceptional restorations, and a robust development pipeline of over 60 projects worldwide.
