Time to Celebrate with Baccarat: A Dazzling Festive Seasons Awaits at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

The spirit of Baccarat shines brightly at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul this festive season, where the iconic luxury of the renowned French crystal house sets the glittering scene for the Hotel’s glamorous “Time to Celebrate” highlights – complete with incredible photo opportunities.

Known as “King's Crystal” – thanks to the company’s first royal commission from King Louis XVIII in 1823 – Baccarat has been hand-crafting fine crystal products for dignitaries for more than 250 years. Now, for the first time, guests of the contemporary Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu, Seoul, can savour the fruits – and flair – of a classic collaboration between two iconic luxury brands for the ultimate in festive style.

Throughout December and into the New Year, a dazzling arrival awaits guests on the Hotel’s first floor where stunning Baccarat crystal showpieces meet with the exuberant festive floristry of world-renowned floral artist Nicolai Bergmann. Baccarat also dazzles in a special festive room package with a Baccarat tumbler gift as well as a unique jewel-inspired Christmas cake featuring red octagon crystals and four festive cocktails served in luxurious Baccarat glasses.

A Limited-Edition Room Package

Setting the tone for a lavish seasonal break, Festive Magic Moments – available from December 1 to 31, 2022 – is a limited-edition room package that includes a stay in an elegant Club or Suite Room plus a set of two beautiful Baccarat Beluga tumbler glasses worth KRW 420,000 – a celebrated wedding gift of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin – complete with personalised engraving service for guests to specify at the time of booking.

Other package perks include complimentary valet parking plus access to the Hotel’s Korean Sauna and Executive Club Lounge – for all-day drinks, afternoon tea, and unlimited alcohol service for dinner. Prices start at KRW 995,000 for the Club Room and KRW 1,195,000 for the Suite Room, excluding tax. Just 50 room nights are available for pre-payment on a first-come first-served basis from 10:00 am (Seoul Time), October 28 to 12:00 midnight on November 11, 2022.

Divine Dining and Drinks

From December 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023, Hotel guests can savour a gourmet journey inspired by the Baccarat brand. Sophisticated speakeasy Charles H. – voted Korea’s #1 bar – showcases four Instagrammable cocktails, each served in a unique Baccarat glass, which are priced from KRW 250,000 to KRW 400,000.

Cherry Manhattan – served in a Harcourt 1841 coupe glass – combines warming whiskey with sweet cherries and festive spices for a classy winter tipple, while Crystal 75 merges citrus flavours with a gin and champagne base in an elegant Mille Nuits Flutissimo glass. Chestnut Eggnog, a quirky take on the festive favourite, artfully blends chestnuts and custard cream in a Harcourt Eve glass, while Hibiscus Highball is a berry-scented marvel in a Harmonie highball glass that harmoniously unites sweet rum, sour hibiscus and soda. The special edition cocktails are priced from KRW 32,000 to 33,000 each.

Looking to take home a slice of Baccarat magic? Confections by Four Seasons – the Hotel’s creative first floor bakery – presents Festive Jewel: a limited-edition cake (just 1,000 available) representing Baccarat’s signature red octagon jewellery. Gingerbread mousse spiced with cloves meets sweet vanilla crème brûlée and refreshing orange compote in each flavourful and texture-rich mouthful. Each Festive Jewel cake (KRW 76,000), comes in Four Seasons Hotel Seoul and Baccarat branded box and bag: the perfect festive table centrepiece or gift for someone special. The cake can also be enjoyed at Maru – the Hotel’s lobby lounge.

Decadent Décor

Every guest to the Hotel from November 25, 2022, can enjoy beautiful festive decorations as part of the collaboration. Combining unique Baccarat items from classic chandeliers to glistening tree ornaments, rarely seen in Korea – with Nicolai Bergman's avant-garde flower arrangements, the elaborate decorations are set to become one of the city’s most sought-after festive photo backdrops.
