Known for his bold creativity and transformative designs, Leatham once again reimagines the Hotel's lobby as an immersive celebration of the season, creating one of Los Angeles' most anticipated holiday displays.

Dial for Joy This December, Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills introduces Dial for Joy, a playful new holiday tradition designed to bring a little extra wonder to every stay. Inspired by the excitement of unexpected holiday surprises, the experience invites guests to simply pick up the phone and select from a menu of festive delights delivered directly to their guest room or suite. One call might deliver a gingerbread decorating experience for the whole family, while another brings everything needed for a cozy movie night complete with freshly popped popcorn, nostalgic sweets, cookies, and eggnog. Families can gather around towering ice cream sundaes dressed with festive toppings, little ones can prepare for Santa's arrival with warm chocolate chip cookies and cold milk, and adults can toast the season with handcrafted festive cocktails and sweets from the Hotel's pastry kitchen. Equal parts whimsical and indulgent, Dial for Joy celebrates the simple pleasures that make the holidays memorable: anticipation, togetherness and the delight of discovering something special at your door. Dial for Joy is available daily throughout December. A New Holiday Tradition: Dinner & A Movie at Culina Premiering this festive season, Dinner & A Movie at Culina brings together two timeless traditions: gathering around the table and settling in for a favorite holiday film. Available for three weekends only in December, the experience begins with a prix-fixe dinner at Culina before guests make their way to the Hotel's intimate private screening room for viewings of beloved seasonal classics such as Elf, The Grinch, and The Holiday. The experience feels particularly at home at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, a longstanding fixture in the city's hospitality landscape with deep ties to the entertainment industry. One of the first luxury hotels in the city to feature a private screening room, the Hotel has welcomed generations of filmmakers, creatives and industry insiders throughout its history. Dinner showcases Culina's modern Italian cooking, with dishes including Bigeye Tuna Tartare, Olive Oil-Poached Halibut and Saffron Risotto. Wagyu New York Strip, shaved truffle and lobster are available as indulgent additions. Afterward, guests sink into plush leather recliners with unlimited popcorn as the opening credits roll. Dinner & A Movie takes place on Dec. 4, 5, 11, 12, 18 and 19, 2026, and is priced at USD 95 per adult and USD 75 per child. Festive Dining at Culina At the heart of the season, Culina Ristorante welcomes guests to gather around the table for a series of celebratory dining experiences that have become beloved annual traditions in Los Angeles. Throughout the holidays, Executive Chef Jesus Medina and Executive Pastry Chef Riccardo Menicucci present thoughtfully crafted menus that blend seasonal flavours, artistry and hospitality. A Los Angeles Thanksgiving Tradition For generations of Angelenos and visitors alike, Thanksgiving at Culina has marked the beginning of the holiday season. This year's Thanksgiving Brunch Buffet returns with an expansive culinary journey featuring everything from breakfast favorites, sushi and nigiri to artisanal cheeses, seasonal salads and a grand carving station laden with holiday classics and all the traditional trimmings. An indulgent selection of desserts and festive sweets completes the experience, making it one of the city's most anticipated Thanksgiving celebrations. Family Traditions Reimagined For younger guests, the holidays are often measured in moments of wonder, and the Candy Cane Clubhouse returns throughout December as a cheerful hub of activity. Children can decorate ornaments and dreidels, build gingerbread houses, write letters to Santa and try seasonal crafts, then take home what they've made. Families can also join nightly Hanukkiah lightings from December 4-11 and festive scavenger hunts, and enjoy the Four Seasons traditions that have become synonymous with the holidays: steaming mugs of hot cocoa, warm cookies, peppermint bark, fresh jelly doughnuts and spiced apple cider. Seasonal Spa Escapes Amid the excitement of the holidays, the Spa offers a welcome opportunity to slow down. Guests can choose from an array of winter-inspired treatments designed to renew both body and mind, while the annual Twelve Days of Festive Spa Delights returns from December 13-24, featuring complimentary enhancements including hot stone upgrades, Dead Sea mineral foot scrubs, Celluma LED therapy, conditioning scalp treatments and thoughtful holiday gifts. Ringing in 2027 with Roaring Twenties Glamour The season ends on New Year's Eve with an evening inspired by the elegance and exuberance of the Roaring Twenties. As midnight approaches, The Lounge comes alive with live entertainment, flowing Champagne and the spirited energy of a bygone era. Guests can gather with friends and loved ones over caviar service, festive culinary offerings and handcrafted cocktails, then come together for a Champagne toast at midnight to welcome the new year. "Los Angeles has always been a city of storytellers, and this Hotel has been a gathering place for them for generations," says Sebastian Hinsch, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. "A holiday film in our screening room after dinner felt like a natural fit, and Dial for Joy is our way of bringing that same sense of play to your own suite. We hope guests leave with memories they'll want to revisit year after year." To make the most of the festive season, Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills invites guests to linger a little longer with the Fourth Night Free offer. Stay three nights and enjoy a complimentary fourth night, leaving more time to experience beloved holiday traditions, discover new ones, and enjoy the beauty of Los Angeles.

Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest appoints Federico Daniele as Bar Manager of MÚZSA. From Barcelona's historic Boadas to Rome's acclaimed Drink Kong, the Italian bartender brings international experience and a fresh creative vision to Budapest October 19, 2026, Budapest, Hungary Download this image Download all images Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest announces the appointment of Federico Daniele as Bar Manager of MÚZSA. With more than 15 years of hospitality experience across Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Spain, Federico combines an appreciation for classic cocktail heritage with a curiosity for contemporary techniques and a guest-first approach to service. His appointment marks a new creative chapter for MÚZSA, the hotel's Art Nouveau-inspired bar, as he looks to build a distinctive beverage identity rooted in Budapest's culture and the extraordinary setting of Gresham Palace. "We are delighted to welcome Federico Daniele to Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest. His international journey, deep respect for the craft of bartending, and passion for genuine hospitality bring a unique combination of creativity, expertise and curiosity that aligns perfectly with MÚZSA's spirit. We are excited to see his vision contribute to the continued evolution of one of Budapest's most distinctive cocktail destinations while creating memorable experiences for our guests from around the world," says Julia Selyukova, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest. Originally from Rome, Federico has built his career across Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Spain, with roles at The London EDITION, The Barcelona EDITION, Nobu Hotel Barcelona, Boadas Cocktails and Drink Kong. His time at Barcelona's historic Boadas Cocktails was particularly formative, deepening his appreciation for the stories and craftsmanship behind classic drinks. At MÚZSA, Federico aims to bring those complementary influences together. Drawing on Hungarian ingredients, the architecture of Gresham Palace and the country's artistic heritage, his vision pairs approachable classics with more adventurous creations. His ambition is to build a shared team philosophy that guests will recognise as distinctly MÚZSA. "We are fortunate to work in a place of such extraordinary beauty, and that comes with responsibility," says Federico. "Our drinks, service and entire guest experience should reflect the character of the Palace. I want people to discover something genuinely connected to Budapest." For Federico, the most important ingredient remains hospitality. "First and foremost, I consider myself a host. My goal is for every guest to leave in a better mood than when they arrived. Whether they choose a cocktail, a glass of wine or simply tonic water, they should feel genuinely welcomed and cared for." Passionate about mentorship and collaboration, Federico seeks to strengthen ties with Budapest's bartending community and international peers, sharing ideas and creating opportunities for the next generation of professionals. "Before competition, there must be community," he says. "When one bar achieves something extraordinary, the entire city benefits." Having recently made Budapest his home, Federico finds inspiration in the city's architecture and along the Danube. A quiet spot beneath the Chain Bridge has already become a favourite place to watch the sunset, reminding him of the sea near his hometown of Rome.
