“Our approach is about giving people what they’re looking for,” says Vivian Henein, who expertly curates wellness programming as Director of Wellness at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. Whether guests travel from afar or are local to Los Angeles, many come seeking to enhance their well-being. “They see us as a tranquil sanctuary amid the city’s hustle and bustle - a place to discover wellness practices that help them feel grounded and revitalized.”

Henein oversees an expansive wellness oasis spanning the Hotel’s fourth floor, including a 3,700-square-foot Spa, more than a dozen Wellness Rooms and Suites, a pool deck, fitness centre, and a Wellness Meeting Room. She also collaborates closely with the hotel’s collection of resident Vitality Experts, a panel of distinguished holistic wellness specialists encompassing everything from longevity and life optimization to advanced skincare, sound therapy, intuitive counselling, and more. Together, these offerings create a haven for guests to disconnect from daily stressors and engage in holistic treatments, rituals, and fitness for the mind, body, and spirit - alongside targeted focuses such as sleep health and well-ageing.

As a wellness authority in Los Angeles - a city that sets global standards for integrative health, mindful living, and revolutionary spa experiences - Henein understands the delicate balance between time-honoured traditions and next-generation wellness technology, and brings a discerning perspective to the city's ever-evolving landscape.

A Los Angeles native, Henein’s passion for wellness began early. Growing up in a suburb of the city, she was drawn to fitness and skincare, once convincing her mother to buy her Oil of Olay at just six years old to explore its anti-ageing promises.

After studying business administration, Henein launched her career in hospitality as a spa coordinator at a Newport Beach hotel that had recently transitioned from a Four Seasons. “A friend told me the team still operated with Four Seasons standards, and it would be a great introduction to the company,” she recalls.

She found her niche immediately, rising through the ranks in management at other properties before joining Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, as Spa Director. Later promoted to Senior Spa Director for the Americas, Henein mentored spa leaders across five Four Seasons properties while elevating the Spa at Beverly Wilshire to new heights. Under her leadership, the spa earned its first Forbes Five-Star rating and achieved record-breaking retail growth.

“I live for retail!” Henein admits. “I can’t pass a display without analyzing it, and I’m always researching the latest trends.” Her secret? Crafting narratives through packaging and merchandising while training her team to bring those stories to life for guests.

After a brief time away from Four Seasons, during which she spearheaded the launch of Biologique Recherche's first US flagship, in 2022, Henein returned to the Four Seasons family, joining Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. With a vision to establish the property as a preeminent destination for luxury wellness, today, she leads an elite team of more than 20 professionals, orchestrating innovative programming and elevated experiences that set new standards in hospitality wellness.

When not curating wellness experiences for guests, Henein lives her passion for healthy living alongside her bodybuilder husband. The fitness-minded couple balances high-energy pursuits such as morning cardio sessions and snowboarding adventures with mindful activities such as coastal bike rides and creating nourishing meals together.
