In This Article

Love Four Seasons hotels? You’re not alone. Four Seasons is one of the world’s best hotel chains and one of the hotel chains that we personally feel is most consistent in delivering a fantastic hotel experience.

With that being said, there is a way to get even more out of each stay at the Four Seasons, and that is by booking through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner. By booking through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, you can receive a range of unique benefits and VIP status at the hotel – at no additional cost.

In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about Four Seasons Preferred Partner, what benefits are included, and why you should book all your Four Seasons stays this way.

What is Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

Four Seasons Preferred Partner is Four Seasons’ own program where they invite handselected luxury travel advisors to participate. Through Four Seasons Preferred Partner, guests can enjoy unique benefits at all Four Seasons hotels, without any extra cost to the guest.

You will always pay the exact same price as on Four Seasons’ own website, but in addition to this will get a range of complimentary benefits during your stay. In addition to this, you’ll have an agent that coordinates directly with the hotel’s management team to ensure you receive five-star service throughout your stay and that the staff truly go the extra mile for you.

To become a Four Seasons Preferred Partner agent, you need to be specially invited by Four Seasons to the programme, and here at Lyxresan Travels we are very proud to be members of the programme.

You’ll need to contact us to get the exact Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits that apply to the hotel you’re interested in, but in general the following benefits are always included at a minimum:

  • Daily breakfast for two people, served either in the hotel restaurant or via room service
  • Hotel credit to be utilized during your stay
  • Complimentary room upgrade to the next category, based on availability at check-in
  • Welcome amenity

Hotels may choose to offer additional benefits beyond the standard benefits mentioned above, such as a two-category upgrade confirmed at time of booking.

An example of this is Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay in Bali that during 2024 offers the fourth night free publicly; and in addition offers an additional perk to Four Seasons Preferred Partner bookings with a confirmed upgrade to the next villa category immediately at the time of booking. Given that all rooms at this property are villas, we are talking about a minimum saving of $200 USD per night for the confirmed upgrade. If one books one of the more expensive villa types, the saving can be manyfold of this. Many of our clients choose to book one category below the one they actually want and many times we are able to get them confirmed into the more expensive category, offering substantial savings.

And on that note, our team here at Lyxresan Travels always works directly with the hotel to customize your stay and coordinate with the hotel’s management teams, both so they know who you are and what your preferences are, but also to make sure they go the extra mile for you. We’re also there by your side should something go wrong during your stay, as we know senior staff members at all Four Seasons hotels.

To get a list of the benefits that apply at the hotel you’re interested in, please contact us as Four Seasons do not publish these benefits publicly. We are happy to provide them to you.

Is it more expensive to book via Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

No. The fantastic thing about Four Seasons Preferred Partner is that we can apply the benefits to all prices available on the Four Seasons website. This means that non-refundable rates, or promotional rates such as third night free (Stay Longer), can be combined with Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits. In other words: you have nothing to lose by booking through Four Seasons Preferred Partner, and all to gain.

A common promotional rate offered by Four Seasons are their Stay Longer promotions where you get a free night based on your length of stay. An example of this is the Four Seasons Buenos Aires that offers the third night free.

Here we can see that Four Seasons themselves offers a third night free promotion. In this price nothing is included beyond the room itself. We can offer the exact same price as listed on Four Seasons’ own website, but in addition to this, we can offer the following benefits:

  • Breakfast that otherwise would not have been included – where the customer can choose to eat in the hotel restaurant or via room service
  • A complimentary upgrade to the next room category, confirmed directly at time of booking (unique benefit for this hotel)
  • A hotel credit to utilize during the stay
  • Welcome amenity

The next room category at this hotel, Mansion-View Room costs roughly $100 more per night, which we are able to immediately confirm guests into.

How can you get discounts at Four Seasons?

It is very rare for Four Seasons hotels to discount their hotels lower than what you can see on the Four Seasons website.
