A room is just a room, right? Four Seasons demonstrates just how wrong this assumption can be, with speciality rooms that go above and beyond – heightening the guest experience and inspiring the imagination.

Family holidays at Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita are made extra special with the dedicated kids kitchen in the Hobbit Village. Featuring a child-size oven to bake pizza and cookies, everything in the room is tailor-made for younger guests.

Chocolate-loving families can indulge at both Four Seasons Hotel Prague and Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest in dedicated chocolate rooms. From chocolate wall panels to table tops and decorative pieces, each room is made-up of white, milk and dark chocolate. Good enough to eat.

For the intellectually-minded traveller, Four Seasons Hotel Chicago offers guests the Author Suite - aptly named for its collection of books signed by past literary guests. With an oversized writing desk and two floor-to-ceiling book cases full of inspiration, it’s the perfect cure for writer's block. Thinking of even the tiniest detail in preparation for the big day, the Hotel has also created the Bridal Lounge, where nervous brides can seek refuge. This intimate room adjacent to the Grand Ballroom is stocked with all the important bridal necessities – with a 9-foot (2.7 metre) tall tri-fold mirror and endless supplies of tissues, Champagne, mints and chocolate strawberries, the Lounge ensures a bride is never far from the action, even when touching up her makeup.

Just in time for the 2009 inauguration, Four Seasons Hotel Washington DC developed the only bullet-resistant 4,000 square foot (372 square metre) suite in the city. Behind the bullet-resistant glass, a private entrance and the closed captioned security system, the suite is as beautiful as it is functional, perfectly fit for the American capital.

Spreading the holiday spirit, Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia annually creates its very own charitable Toy Room during the festive season. Starting right before Thanksgiving, Hotel staff, guests and other members of the community fill the room with donated toys. All toys collected are then gifted to families in need, in time for Christmas.

With rooms like these it’s a wonder guests ever leave the hotels.
