Halfway between the old town and Umayyad Square, the elegant highrise of the Four Seasons is the most prestigious and best secured hotel in town. It has been the preferred accommodation and party location for diplomats, UN staff, the local high society and all kinds of wheelers and dealers for decades. The Four Seasons brand pulled out of the deal in 2019, but the hotel continues to make use of the name, and still has high standards. With a pool, spa and several restaurants accessible to guests only, the 300 rooms come at high cost, doubles start around $300, bookable via HalaSyria.
