Four Seasons Hotel Houston Delights with Winter Happenings

Kicking off 2026 in fashion, Four Seasons Hotel Houston presents its exceptional seasonal activities and experiences, allowing guests from near and far to enjoy H-Town's premier urban resort.

“The start of the new year is full of excitement all around town,” says Tom Segesta, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Houston. “We’ve created incredible offerings and experiences here at the Hotel for guests and locals to enjoy as they take in the best of the city.”

The Hotel’s seasonal special events include:

• January – To warm the mood this season, the famed perfumery Krigler is sharing the re-release of Velvet Night 76, a fearlessly bold scent first imagined 50 years ago by Liliane Krigler. Originally introduced in 1976 to celebrate the global women’s liberation movement, Liliane created the fragrance as a bespoke scent available only to Krigler’s private clients. Today’s version maintains the original blend’s boldness, comprised of the highest-quality natural ingredients in a 30 percent concentration that macerates for three years. The scent opens with Sicilian Bergamot and Moroccan Orange Blossom, followed by a floral heart of Italian Tuberose and Egyptian Jasmine, and settles into a base of Reunion Island Vanilla, Indian Cedarwood, and Musk, creating a smooth and enduring finish. Velvet Night 76 is available for USD 595 for 50 ml and USD 770 for the 100 ml bottle.
