Houston, U.S.A.

Four Seasons Hotel Houston celebrates winter with an array of seasonal experiences throughout the Hotel. Houston’s downtown destination presents an exciting offering of activities and experiences to be enjoyed by guests and locals alike.

"As we begin a new year, we’re excited about all ahead,” says Tom Segesta, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Houston. “Our team is looking forward to sharing our curated winter programming and providing memorable experiences for our visiting guests and fellow Houstonians.”

Some of these experiences for 2024 a include:

  • January 1–31 – Dry January: In honour of Dry January, Beverage Manager Johnathan Jones and the Hotel’s talented beverage team have created a collection of zero-proof beverages available at Bayou & Bottle and Toro Toro. In addition to six non-alcoholic beers, guests can enjoy three handcrafted cocktails: Young Fashioned, 'Gin'etic Lottery, and Why So Prickly, all featuring Cut Above zero-proof spirits.
  • January 1–31 – Runner’s Recovery at The Spa and Nail Bar: Whether a participant in the Houston Marathon or just getting a jump on a New Year’s resolution, The Spa and Nail Bar at Four Seasons Hotel Houston are here to help. For mid-training maintenance or post-marathon muscle recovery, Runner’s Recovery Massage is a full-body sports massage combining arnica and ginger-infused body oil to soothe tired, overworked muscles. This customized massage, priced at USD 250 for a 50-minute treatment of USD 300 for the 80-minute treatment, also includes a marula and argan oil-infused sugar foot scrub to hydrate and buff away dry skin and promote increased circulation. The Runner’s Recovery Spa Pedicure can energize tired muscles and feet with a warm bath salt soak, infused with a specially curated blend of pine, rosemary, Siberian fir, and arnica essential oils. A marula and argan oil-infused sugar scrub follows to hydrate and buff away dry skin and promote increased circulation. This 75-minute treatment concludes with a relaxing leg and foot massage using an intensive arnica joint and muscle cream and perfectly polished toes by Zoya Natural Nail Polish, and is priced at USD 125.
  • January – Limited Edition Fragrance: In celebration of the 15th anniversary of Krigler’s Extraordinaire Camelia, one of the brand’s most famous and best-selling scents, the famed perfumery is releasing the “Sissi” limited-edition Extraordinaire Camelia 209. This more concentrated version is housed in a limited-edition bottle that pays homage to Austrian Empress Elisabeth, affectionately known as Sissi, as well as to Vienna, where Krigler fragrances have been sold since 1908. The fresh, verdant, scent includes all the elements of original Extraordinaire Camelia 209 - camelia laced with lemon, bergamot, cardamom, cedarwood, musk, peppercorn, tea, and vanilla. The juice, however, was macerated in barrels at Krigler’s Cap d’Antibes atelier for seven years (versus the traditional two years for most Krigler scents). The result is a perfume concentration of 40 percent, 10 percent more than the original version and more than double that of standard perfume. This special fragrance will not be re-issued once sold out, and only owners of the limited-edition bottle will be able to obtain refills. Ideal as a Valentine’s Day gift, the 12 ml perfume, priced at USD 450, is available at the Hotel’s Krigler boutique.
