First look

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride is a ski-in/ski-out project in Mountain Village, with ground already broken and a 2028 opening on the books. Construction being underway makes the timeline firmer than most entries this far out, and Mountain Village puts the resort directly on the slopes above the historic town. The resort-and-residences format follows the brand's familiar mountain playbook.

We have not stayed, so this is anticipation rather than a verdict. What we will be watching for is how a Four Seasons reads in Telluride specifically, a smaller and more remote resort than the Park City or Vail crowd, where the appeal is partly the lack of scale. On paper, ski-in/ski-out access plus the brand's standards is a strong combination if the location delivers.

Not yet scored. We publish a Fat Score only once a hotel is open and real guests have stayed and written about it — this is a first look, not a verdict.

Want us to get you in when it opens?

Nothing to book yet — rates usually load a few months out. We're Sofie and Nicolas; tell us roughly what you're after and we'll come back the moment Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride is bookable, with rates, what the rooms are actually like, and whether we'd go in the first season.

You'll be dealing with the two of us the whole way through, which is why we only take on a handful of trips at a time — if we're full, we'll say so. We reply by email, usually within one working day. The hotel pays us, not you: your rate is the same as booking direct, and the perks come on top.

Four Seasons Surf Club

Miami, USA

No other hotel in Miami has this building: a restored 1930 prohibition-era beach club with coffered ceilings and arched corridors, a hotel and two residential towers grafted onto it by an owner who'd already had to buy the Palm Beach property because he wasn't allowed to build a rival next to his own club there. Under 80 rooms keeps the pools and beach genuinely uncrowded, and it's the detail travelers mention most, alongside staff who remember faces on a second visit: a front-desk regular named Patch, a pool bartender named Agustin who wished one guest a happy anniversary unasked. Thomas Keller's Surf Club restaurant is the other reason people book: guests call it a top-three Miami dining room. Now the part worth pricing in properly. There's a real pattern of staff or security entering occupied rooms without warning, including a 2026 account of security walking into a guest's locked, dark room at night while they slept. Management's response was slow: a resort-credit offer, then a promised one-night refund that took over a month to arrive. Breakfast and brunch pricing draws steady frustration too: a $125 Sunday brunch that charges extra for coffee is a fair complaint, and a few recent guests found the food merely fine for what a Four Seasons should deliver. The Keller restaurant runs independently of the hotel, so no room charge, no guaranteed table, and bar service that's hit-or-miss. Surfside sits well north of South Beach, closer to Bal Harbour than the strip: restful if that's what you want, inconvenient if you came to eat around the city. Book it for the building, the quiet, and the restaurant if you want the most old-world week Miami money buys and can live with an unresolved privacy lapse. Travelers chasing a livelier scene tend to land at Faena instead. For a calm, historic stretch of sand, nothing else in Miami is close.

Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown

New York, USA

This is the Four Seasons for people who want Lower Manhattan over Midtown: near the World Trade Center, an easy walk to Tribeca and Wall Street, close enough to the subway that you skip cabs entirely. What you get for it is a genuinely large room by New York standards, a soaking tub more than one guest has raved about, and an indoor pool with steam rooms built into the locker area that people plan whole afternoons around. Staff fix things fast when something goes wrong: one guest had a tub drain handled within minutes of calling down, another was upgraded to an Oculus Suite and had a doorman drive them to Little Italy himself when their car service kept cancelling. The lobby is small and reads as generic to more than one visitor, and the room décor splits people: some call it elegantly understated, others call it plain for the rate. Room service runs expensive (two coffees and a bowl of berries came to $89 for one guest), and the in-room coffee situation is a real gap: the machine on offer is a basic drip unit, with a Nespresso setup available for $100 including pods. Breakfast at CUT can be slow at peak times, and service swings more than it should for a Four Seasons: one stay had a doorman go quiet on a car pickup after promising to help, another had the same staffer ask daily if they were checking in despite handling their bags on arrival. None of that is enough to knock this off the short list for Downtown. Book it for the pool, the space in the room, and a part of the city that stays quiet after 9pm. Travelers who want Midtown energy or a splashier lobby should look elsewhere; travelers who want a calm, well-run base near the Trade Center and Tribeca will get exactly that.

Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River

Bangkok, Thailand

Book a river-view room here and what arrives is a building doing more work than most five-stars bother with: Jean-Michel Gathy's lobby has floor-to-ceiling glass, gardens threaded through the public spaces, and a "basic" room that runs close to 900 square feet, bigger than a suite at plenty of competitors. The free boat shuttle to ICONSIAM and the BTS is a genuinely useful perk rather than a gimmick, and the staff seem to actually track who you are: one family had a sick parent looked after with a late-night search for a pharmacy, another had headphones left behind at the airport chased down and delivered before their flight left. That's the kind of thing that makes people say they'll be back, and a lot of them do. The food is the real gap between the reputation and the reality. Breakfast draws specific, repeated complaints: thin options for dietary restrictions, staff who don't check in during the meal, no coffee menu unless you ask. A couple who skipped dinner on property after a disappointing lobby lunch and letdown pancakes the next morning isn't a one-off shrug. The Lobby Bar and BKK Social Club are the surprise wins — better than the flagship restaurants by most accounts — but you're not booking this hotel for the breakfast buffet the brand name might imply. Large group bookings can also crowd the pool and breakfast room enough to dent the sense of exclusivity you're paying for, and the spa or sauna being closed for renovation shows up often enough to ask about before you book. The service and the building are what you're actually paying for, and they clear the bar comfortably even with the food underperforming. Families do especially well here: kids' club, tents set up in rooms, staff who remember a toddler's name by day two. Anyone chasing a top-tier breakfast spread might do better elsewhere in the city, but for the room, the river, and a staff that fixes its own mistakes without a fuss, this is one of the best city hotels in Bangkok going.

Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong

Hong Kong, China

The case for the Four Seasons Hong Kong is simple: it's the easiest 5-star base on the island, and the staff back it up in ways that don't show up on a rate sheet. One guest's partner had a small hole in her dress fixed during a routine pressing, no request needed. Another wanted a mango at breakfast, mentioned it once, and it appeared minutes later. A porter walked bags all the way to the Airport Express platform. That's the same shape of story from 2019 through this summer, told by different travellers who have nothing to do with each other. The building is the honest trade-off. Several recent stays, including one detailed enough to score infrastructure separately, note the spa and gym feel dated next to newer Four Seasons openings, and the harbour view depends entirely on which floor and side you land: one January 2026 guest got a construction site instead of Victoria Harbour. None of that touches the three Michelin-starred restaurants on property. Lung King Heen and Caprice both pull the same travellers back on repeat visits, and the pool draws the kind of praise regulars save for the best in the city. The one comparison worth knowing: people who've also done the Rosewood across the harbour tend to rate that hotel's rooms and design higher, while putting the Four Seasons ahead on service and calling it the better call if you actually want to be based on Hong Kong Island. That's a real trade, not a knock against either. Book this one for the location and the staff who remember you between stays, not for a freshly renovated building. On those two, nothing else in Central comes close.
