San Francisco

A Toast to San Francisco

At the Seasons Bar and Lounge, try the Trust Fund, a wicked blend of Tanqueray gin, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, orange marmalade and mint, served over ice and topped with Champagne.

Punta Mita

Fresher Than Fresh

Three mornings a week, a fisherman brings his boat to the Resort dock. Joined by the chef at Bahia restaurant, guests select a fish, discuss its preparation, and return for dinner to enjoy their “fish of the day.”

Seattle

Scenery: Breathtaking Views

During the summer months, nothing beats the view of downtown Seattle from a sailboat on Elliot Bay. The 90-minute tours give guests 360-degree views, and the sunset tour is by far the most picturesque.

Hawaii, Lana‘i

Ah, Spa!

The Spa at Manele Bay offers more than just authentic Hawaiian treatments and expert therapists in a setting of tranquil luxury. For a unique experience observe the traditional ritual that precedes your ki pola ho’olu.

Some 36 Four Seasons hotels in North, Central and South America were challenged to create a cocktail using only locally sourced ingredients. Limited only by their imaginations and a 100-mile radius, the hotel mixologists put their own spin on a 100 Mile Cocktail. Cocktails from Austin, Los Angeles’ Beverly Wilshire, Denver, Palo Alto, San Francisco (a drink also made with vodka), Seattle, Vancouver and Whistler all used gin creatively, but in vastly different ways.

For the full recipe of each of these 100 Mile Cocktails, be sure to visit our Facebook page and view the photo album dedicated to these creative concoctions.
