The first restoration of a historic property – the Renaissance convent that became Four Seasons Hotel Milano – opened in 1993. Since that time, Four Seasons has transformed historic treasures in cities such as Istanbul (in 1996), Paris (in 1999), Budapest (in 2004) and Florence (in 2008).
Ultra-private seclusion in Balinese pavilions, also unveiled in 1993, was a stepping stone to the concept of luxurious tented accommodations at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle – opened in 2006 – which even has its own herd of elephants.
