Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts

Four Seasons is a Canadian luxury hotel company founded in 1960 by Isadore Sharp, who opened his first property on Jarvis Street in Toronto in 1961. Still headquartered in Toronto, the group built its reputation on a more personal style of service that became an industry benchmark. It now operates an extensive global portfolio of five-star hotels and resorts, run largely under management agreements rather than outright ownership.
