Preferred Partner is Four Seasons’ quiet answer to the travel-agent question: book through an accredited advisor rather than the public website and the hotel layers benefits on top of the same flexible rate you would have paid anyway. Through our partner desk, every Four Seasons booking includes daily breakfast for two, a 100 US dollar property credit, and a one-category upgrade plus flexible check-in and checkout whenever the house can accommodate it.
The key detail is that the rate itself does not change. You pay what the Four Seasons website charges for the flexible rate; the extras are the advisor’s commission being spent on you. On a five-night resort stay, breakfast and the credit alone are typically worth 400 to 500 US dollars, and the upgrade lottery at Four Seasons is kinder than most because inventory is managed by humans rather than algorithms.
It works at every Four Seasons worldwide, from the city houses to resorts such as The Nam Hai in Vietnam, which we have reviewed and rated. If you were going to book direct anyway, this is the closest thing to free money in hotel booking.
