"The chain has built a reputation on consistent high-touch, carefully crafted service for all. Other exclusive resorts pamper their guests, but Four Seasons offers a subtler brand of doting: helpful rather than subservient; instinctive rather than programmed. So it's easy to understand why Four Seasons has a cultlike clientele. One Maui guest told a manager, "if there's a heaven, I hope it's run by Four Seasons." Fortune (100 Best Companies to Work For issue), February 4, 2008

"Four Seasons is without doubt, the 21st Century benchmark for excellence in all its guises, reflected by a veritable cascade of votes this year; for although you sometimes crave more reckless hotel-keeping, Four Seasons remains where your heart and home is. Like good parents, it provides a genuine welcome along with the chicken soup." Gallivanter's Guide, January 2008
