Historic 'Peacock Alley' where Winston Churchill and Frank Sinatra once walked
Thomas Keller's Michelin-starred restaurant is literally downstairs
Richard Meier's glass towers make every room feel like a floating cloud
Pikakatsaus: It’s ruinously expensive, but for once, the 'old money' aesthetic actually feels authentic rather than staged.
Arvioinut @mllejolain: I was blown away by the quiet elegance here. My residential suite felt like a private home with full Four Seasons service. Sipping a custom cocktail by the pool while soaking in that historic Surf Club glamour was the highlight of my trip.

The hype
Impeccable service and stunning design, but the price tag makes you weep.
Reality check
You might feel 'poor' here even if you're wealthy; the clientele is next-level elite.
You value privacy and silence over a party scene
You appreciate architecture (Richard Meier) and history (1930s social club)
You want a kids' club that actually feels like a luxury camp
Siisteys ja kunnossapito
9.8
Housekeeping: Flawless. Guests report 'invisible' service where the room is magically perfect every time you return.
Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Marble is polished to a mirror finish; no grout issues reported.
Maintenance: Like new. The Richard Meier buildings are maintained with obsession.
Linens & towels: Plush, heavy, and crisp. Egyptian cotton sheets that feel brand new.
Odors & scents: Signature Four Seasons scent (white tea/thyme) in lobby; rooms smell neutral and fresh.
