Only about a forty-minute drive from popular destinations such as Ostuni, Alberobello and Monopoli, the new Four Seasons in Puglia will be one of the few hotels in the region with direct beach access. Rooms will find themselves in villa-like units, all facing the sea. The design is by HKS Architects, an award-winning international design firm that has previously collaborated with Four Seasons on projects in the Bahamas, Tunis and Egypt, while the interior fit-out is being led by ODA Architecture.
Furthermore, the hotel will have six restaurants and bars, including an all-day dining option, a restaurant focused on regional specialties, a seasonal pool bar and grill, a lobby lounge bar, a signature bar and a beach club. In addition, the new resort will have extensive meeting and event space, which includes a ballroom and smaller meeting rooms in a dedicated building, as well as additional outdoor event space.The state-of-the-art destination spa will include a fitness center, ten treatment rooms, hammam, sauna, pool and yoga studio.
The resort will be located 40 kilometers from Brindisi International Airport and 95 kilometers from Bari International Airport and is also easily accessible by direct train from Rome.
It has not yet been determined when the new hotel will open.
A luxurious guest experience
"As we continue to grow as a brand, our focus is on opening hotels in the world's best travel destinations and in markets where we can offer an upscale luxury experience. In Puglia, we are able to combine both goals and the project is perfect to expand our presence in Italy with our partners at Omnam Investment Group, led by David Zisser," said John Davison, President and CEO of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "We look forward to setting standards for a luxurious guest experience in this beautiful region and offering new opportunities to discover more of this incredible country with Four Seasons."
"Together with our partners led by Adam Hudaly of IAC Investments, we acquired this exceptional property in Puglia in late 2020. We are always looking for opportunities to create something unique and unexpected with each new project, and we are thrilled to be able to do so with an iconic brand like Four Seasons," said David Zisser, founder and CEO of the Omnam Group. "As more and more travelers discover Puglia, we look forward to offering the best luxury lifestyle experience not only through exceptional design and amenities, but also through the region's renowned Four Seasons service."
Puglia forms the heel of Italy's "boot" and is known as home to ancient cities with rich histories, scenic enchanting national parks, towering mountains, exceptional food and wine, pristine beaches and for its sun-drenched Mediterranean climate. The town of Ostuni, nicknamed the "White City" for its signature whitewashed houses and buildings carved into the mountain cliffs, is just a short drive from the resort. Its medieval streets and 15th-century Gothic cathedral make for an inviting day trip.
