What is a Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

The Four Seasons Preferred Partner program is an exclusive, invitation-only program for luxury travel agencies from around the world. And what that means for you, is as the client you’re eligible to get extra perks for your stay.

Client perks for booking through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner:

  • Preferred Partner benefits (things like hotel/resort credits, daily breakfast, room upgrades and more)

  • Enhanced recognition and personal welcome from on-property management

  • Access to the best room inventory

  • Priority wait-list clearance

But, what about booking through programs like Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts or Virtuoso? These programs are better than booking direct or on Expedia, but they don’t give you the most value like Four Seasons Preferred Partner does.

The best part about the Four Seasons Preferred Partner program is that the Preferred Partner benefits can usually be combined with any of the rates you find on Four Seasons website. In fact Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits can be combined with advanced purchase, free night offers, enhanced resort credit offers and more.
