Four Seasons Meetings and Events in Depth

At Four Seasons, the optimal group experience and ROI converge. The new Four Seasons Meetings and Events website is the starting point for planning a bespoke event, from top executive business meetings to rewarding incentives, glittering galas, exclusive property buyouts, and much more.

Big ideas: Meeting planners will be inspired to think big while exploring the endless possibilities with stories about real events held at Four Seasons hotels and resorts all over the world. Beginning with what’s often the first decision – destination – beautiful photography and tantalizing descriptions are the conversation starters when working with expert Four Seasons event planners to create a uniquely authentic customized event or group program.

Venues range from lavish ballrooms to exclusive private dining rooms, floating cocktail parties, stunning palazzos and ancient ruins, and remote beaches begging for a fresh-caught seafood barbecue; group activities may include celebrity chef-led cooking classes, skywalking through a forest, an off-hours museum tour, or a private clifftop concert.

But what about food? Creative food and beverage ideas are abundant on the new Four Seasons Meetings and Events website. Imaginative options range from customized pop up restaurants to a Bedouin-style desert feast, an all-night party on a Bollywood movie set, a sunset dinner high in the Rockies, an after-hours cocktail party in an art gallery, or even a picnic atop the Great Wall of China.

Size matters at Four Seasons: For small events, such as important meetings that require discreet service in a secure environment,Four Seasons boardrooms and Presidential Suites have hosted countless VIPs from rock stars to heads of state, and provide the ideal setting when it’s time to shake hands and sign on the dotted line. For those planning to host more than 500 people, 11 Four Seasons properties are ready to roll out the welcome mat, and if the outdoors are one’s preference, 14 properties can accommodate open-air banquets for more than 400 guests.

Where are we going next? It’s time to hit the road and explore the venues – all from the comfort of one’s desktop or mobile device. The search function now includes “By Interest,” showcasing options such as destinations with golf or opportunities for group volunteering. Planners can also search by specifications using an interactive capacities chart, and break out up to three locations for direct comparison.

When increased ROI and cost savings are the priority, the site’s Great Group Values section meets planners’ needs with the best offers available at Four Seasons, easily searchable by location and date.

Already have a location in mind? Every Four Seasons hotel and resort – including the upcoming Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen in China – now has more detailed information from venues and capacities to sample itineraries, destination details including air access, great ideas for authentic and unique experiences, and a full property fact sheet downloadable with just a click.

Events that do more: Many Four Seasons hotels and resorts offer opportunities for groups to get involved in social responsibility programs, from planting trees to painting schools and learning about local conservation efforts. The new Four Seasons Meetings and Events website also details the many ways that clients and Four Seasons can work together to lessen their impact on the environment.

Putting together a proposed program and sharing ideas with colleagues has also never been easier – “share” buttons are peppered throughout the website, and key pages can easily be attached or linked.
