September 2017 - Vol 3, No 18 - Top Four Seasons in Asia


Best Suites At The Top Four Seasons


In looking over this year’s World’s Best hotels as ranked by the readers of Travel + Leisure, a huge majority are boutique, independent properties, perhaps part of the trend away from brands. A number of hotels that we have covered such as Nihiwatu, The Brando, Mukul and lodges in New Zealand were top of the list.


One luxury group still with significant representation at the top of the list is Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and to that end we researched the top suites and villas at their highest ranking hotels, which all happened to be in Asia. The villas are expansive stretching over 10,000 sq. ft. making them perfect for family and friends vacations. Our report is below.


I hope all your trips are amazing experiences!
