where our clients are staying - april 2024

Our clients continue to explore the world, visiting some of the most beautiful and iconic properties. Here are some of the incredible places our clients are staying right now.

San Domenico Palace, a Four Seasons Hotel, Taormina, Sicily

If some of these photos look familiar, you may have seen this property as the location for season 2 of The White Lotus.

Perched on a rocky promontory high above the Ionian Sea, the iconic San Domenico Palace welcomes you to a 14th-century convent with panoramic views of Mount Etna and the ancient Greek theatre. Savor award-winning dining, unwind in the spa and swim in our clifftop infinity pool. Escape into a Four Seasons world of timeless beauty – with the charming town of Taormina at our doorstep and the best of Sicily waiting to be explored.

Pro-Tip: Join award-winning chef Massimo Mantarro on an epicurean adventure on nearby Mount Etna. Sample freshly made ricotta paired with just-out-of-the-oven bread and sample wines from the volcano's terroir.

Raffles Doha, Doha, Qatar

The legendary Raffles brand, synonymous with ultra-luxury, is reimagined in a new spectacular fashion in Doha, blending striking design and hotel craftsmanship with flawless service to create the ultimate guest journey. Residing in Katara Towers, one of the world’s architectural icons, Raffles Doha is more a masterpiece than a hotel.

Dining is nothing short of spectacular with highlights including Italian cuisine by Michelin-starred chef Enrico Crippa at Alba; a refined afternoon tea experience, inspired by Arabic traditions, at the elegant Malaki Lounge; contemporary Silk Road cuisine, breath-taking views and live music at the Acoustic Music Penthouse; and a sea-view restaurant introducing a unique blend of bistro and haute cuisine, with a focus on seasonal and sustainable ingredients, at L’Artisan, helmed by Head Chef Thierry Motsch. Cigar connoisseurs will appreciate the art-deco-inspired Blue Cigar lounge and its dedicated cigar roller, and perhaps the pièce de resistance, a memorable culinary journey inspired by Greek cuisine awaits at The Privee Island, an exclusive and luxurious retreat at Raffles Doha.

Advanced wellness and beauty experiences also take center stage, with the experts at Raffles Spa forging unique partnerships with brands sharing its commitment to innovation and excellence to curate tailor-made well-being journeys. Encompassing spa rituals, results-driven beauty treatments, targeted fitness coaching, and more, with guests guided through thoughtful and elegant spaces, experiences are holistic and bespoke, designed to restore emotional and physical equilibrium.
