Warm Up to Winter at Four Seasons Hotel Houston

The winter season brings an array of exclusive experiences and events to Four Seasons Hotel Houston for guests and locals to enjoy in early 2025.

"Each season brings new excitement to our hotel and the great city of Houston,” says Tom Segesta, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Houston. “We created some great winter happenings to offer our guests and community ways to celebrate and connect in the new year.”

Some of these experiences include:

• January – Sweet Scent: In celebration of Krigler’s 120th anniversary, the famed perfumery is releasing Villa Isar, a tribute to the family’s love of travel and their appreciation for sweets. To develop the delectable aspect of Villa Isar 224, Mr. Krigler began with warm cocoa, reminiscing hot cocoa as part of the skiing experience in Germany and Austria. The scent also contains almond, cream, vanilla, caramel, tonka beans, and honey from Austria. Krigler added a touch of licorice to the blend, giving it a spicy note and balancing the sweetness. This cozy and warm fragrance takes two-and-a-half years to make and is ideal as a Valentine’s Day gift. Villa Isar 224, which boasts a parfum concentration of 30 percent (enabling the scent to linger on the skin for hours) is available for USD 575 for 50 ml and USD 745 for the 100 ml bottle.
