Whether making plans to travel, dreaming of future travel or simply looking to enjoy a new local experience, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts reveals what to look forward to from the world's leading luxury hospitality company next year.

"Exciting new hotel openings, renovations and enhancements are progressing across the portfolio, all with a focus on creating the most exceptional luxury experiences while welcoming guests safely," says Christian Clerc, President, Global Operations for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "Regardless of the destination, Four Seasons guests can take comfort in knowing that their health and safety is our highest priority."

In May 2020, the company introduced Lead With Care, an enhanced global health and safety program for employees, guests and residents that responds to the evolving nature of the pandemic in concert with local health authorities.
