Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, the world’s leading luxury hospitality company, has received the award for the best hotel in the world from Travel + Leisure magazine’s World’s Best Awards for Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, along with broad recognition across its global portfolio of hotels and resorts.

Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards honour the top travel destinations and companies around the globe as rated by Travel + Leisure’s discerning audience. This year, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan has been ranked as the #1 Top Hotel in the World. Since opening in 1998, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan has been highly regarded in industry awards, reader polls and traveller reviews, and continues to elevate its services and offerings to anticipate the evolving needs of luxury travellers. This is the second time that Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan has been recognised as the best hotel in the world by Travel + Leisure, having won the award for the first time in 2005.

Nestled among the tropical forests of Ubud overlooking the Ayung River Valley, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan offers spacious suites and private villas with private plunge pools and breath-taking river and rice-terrace views. The Resort also features a traditional Balinese cooking school, the first custom-designed riverside cooking school on the island; meditation and yoga offerings in the riverside yoga pavilion, led by a wellness mentor and renowned yoga leaders through the masters-in-residence program; and the picturesque rooftop infinity lotus pond with 360-degree views of the surrounding forests and river.

Four Seasons earned additional acclaim throughout its global portfolio in this year’s World’s Best Awards, including the #1 Resort Hotel in France for Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel. Since 1908, Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat has been considered the jewel of the French Riviera, and since converting to a Four Seasons hotel in 2015, has achieved wide recognition as one of the best hotels in the world. The Hotel features a world-class spa as well as three restaurants, including Michelin-Star rated Le Cap.

“I am incredibly proud of all Four Seasons property teams – their commitment to service excellence and dedication to superior quality and craftsmanship has resulted in this impressive achievement,” says Christian H. Clerc, President, Worldwide Hotel Operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “Whether a long-time Four Seasons property, such as Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, or a newer portfolio addition, such as Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, this recognition – as chosen by our guests – affirms our ability to offer exceptional travel experiences inspired by the character of each destination and powered by our signature Four Seasons service. Congratulations to all on this wonderful recognition.”

Speaking to the achievement of Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan General Manager Uday Rao comments, “It is an honour to be recognised as the best hotel in the world for the second time by Travel + Leisure. I would like to commend my entire team for all that they do to provide our guests with world-class service and a lifetime of memories through thoughtfully crafted and engaging experiences.”

Rao continues, “We are privileged to be able to celebrate the beauty of Bali and connect guests to the cultural splendours of our locale. Our team constantly delivers unparalleled service and truly exemplify the passion and kindness of Four Seasons – it is why our guests return year after year. I look forward to continuing to welcome guests to experience the world’s best hotel first hand.”
