Intro:
Conde Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice 2009 http://www.concierge.com/tools/travelawards/readerschoice/top100
JD Power 2009 http://www.jdpower.com/corporate/news/releases/pressrelease.aspx?ID=2009133 The following hotel brands rank highest in guest satisfaction within their respective segments: Luxury: Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts
Under History:
Proposed copy: "With the opening of its first full-service spa at Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas in 1986, the brand has made spa an integral part of its offering. Currently operating 65 Spas in 25 countries, Four Seasons employs more than 1,300 therapists and staff, who are charged with integrating Four Seasons signature service into an environment of well-being and relaxation."
Proposed copy: "One owner of a hotel in the Four Seasons chain entered arbitration with the company; in March 2009, the owner of the Four Seasons Resort Aviara attempted to revolt: The owner entered the hotel management offices, seized documents and changed locks before attempting to void the contract with Four Seasons. In response, the Four Seasons management opted to hold its ground and prevent the owner's designated replacement management team from entering the property. An arbitration is ongoing.[3]"
Under Philanthropy:
Financial Post – Most Admired Corporates: #2 Four Seasons http://www.financialpost.com/story.html?id=1024072 “A company taskforce targets three areas if CSR: community support, environmental sustainability and cancer research.”Corporate social responsibility is a big focus for us. We're a very philanthropic organization both monetarily and in our time and effort," Ms. Taylor says. The company is the main sponsor of the Terry Fox run, and raised $7-million in 2007. Four Seasons also has an active green council that works to eliminate water bottles, pumps up the company's recycling program, tackles electrical and heating inefficiencies, as well as other environmental issues.” (Wednesday, December 03, 2008)

It's a funny thing the hotel in New York city was designed by a Chinese guy yet the Four Seasons Hotel chains have an uncanny resemblence to the Four Seasons Triads by name. As you might not know, the Triads are Chinese organized crime groups. I'm for the Russian mafia though. :D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.202.100 ( talk) 14:27, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
The presentation may be misleading. Although some of the listed sites are owned by Four Seasons, most are only managed by them.

Changed wording to say Robin Paterson and Mike Pemberton are developing Resort in Grenada instead of Four Seasons as Four Seasons is a management company and not an ownership company.

Hi. I've been removing a section that User:Sharpd0526 has been adding. It begins, When founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Isadore Sharp founded Four Seasons Hotels, Inc. over 40 years ago, he had an idea that would become revolutionary in the hotel business: around the clock personalized service for business and world travelers... This feels to me like marketing or advertising material -- puffery -- rather than encyclopedic. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 02:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, my intention is not puffery. I think this article needs a history section, as many hotel chain articles such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%27s_Mark seem to be made up entirely of the history section. I do see your point that it sounds too promotional, and I am going through it now to remove anything non-encyclopedic. Thanks! David M. Sharp 15:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Four Seasons' Barbados resort is getting much attention of International Celebs.

In 2009, it was reported that the Lobanov-Rostovsky Residence would be renovated for the Four Seasons. [2] Anyone who can confirm this with better sources and/or update on status? Thanks, / Urbourbo ( talk) 12:58, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Hawaii Is Not Part of so-called North America! It is in Polynesia. It is both factually incorrect and imperialist to claim that it is part of the so-called Americas.
As of 2022 Bill Gates owns 71.25% of the Four Seasons, the founder and CEO are no longer the key people. Thinspo ( talk) 11:43, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
