Donell Bonaparte, Reservations Supervisor

The art of impeccable service commences well before guests arrive. From the moment a reservation is made, the Hotel’s seasoned reservation specialists embark on a mission to transform a mere booking into an extraordinary experience, pouring passion and expertise into every detail. Reservations Supervisor Donell Bonaparte is a familiar and warm voice crafting extraordinary guest experiences, ensuring every stay is seamless. From recommending the ideal suite to orchestrating Spa or restaurant reservations, Don has been the cornerstone of trust for years.

"I'm surrounded by like-minded people who are just as passionate as I am when it comes to guest satisfaction. If David Letterman were to name Don's Top 10 Best Friends, nine of those slots would be filled by former Chicago Four Seasons employees. My mother would fill the tenth slot."
