I recently did a long stay at both Four Seasons hotels in Bogotá. Was I there to see Colombia? Not really. Colombia is a beautiful country and there is a huge amount to see, but that wasn't the point of this particular trip.

I essentially wanted to lock myself in a comfortable hotel room and work. And it worked. I got a huge amount done without the usual distractions of being at home. I had breakfast downstairs every morning, somewhere comfortable to work, a gym when I needed a break, someone making the room up every day and plenty of good restaurants nearby when I eventually decided to leave the hotel.

I split my time between Four Seasons Hotel Bogotá and Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá, and by the end of the stay I started thinking I would happily do this again.

That got me looking around the Four Seasons portfolio. Where else could you find a Four Seasons for somewhere around $500 per night or less and comfortably settle in for a week, ten days or even two weeks?

There is another advantage here. Clements Travel is a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, which means on eligible rates we can add daily breakfast for two, a US$100 hotel credit per stay when booking a room or US$200 when booking a suite, plus a potential one-category upgrade, early check-in and late check-out.

There is no additional booking fee for using Clements Travel and you still pay Four Seasons directly. Many complimentary-night and extended-stay offers can also be combined with Preferred Partner benefits, so on some of the hotels below you can get both the promotional rate and the additional benefits.

This isn't simply a list of the lowest Four Seasons rates I could find. I wanted hotels where a longer stay could be genuinely enjoyable. A comfortable room, good food, a gym and pool, somewhere interesting outside when you want a break and, ideally, a longer-stay offer that can bring the nightly rate down further.

The prices below are approximate and will obviously change depending on your dates, but these are all Four Seasons hotels where rates around or below $500 per night can be possible.

1. Four Seasons Hotel Dalian, China

Approx. $200 to $300 per night

Dalian is probably the hotel on this list that surprised me most.

Four Seasons Dalian only opened in 2024, so it is barely a year old and everything still feels brand new. You're not finding a lower rate because this is an older Four Seasons waiting for a renovation. It's one of the newer hotels in the entire portfolio.

Rooms start at around 44 square metres and the hotel occupies the upper floors of a tower in the Donggang Business District. There are several restaurants and bars, a spa and an indoor infinity pool on the 38th floor, with huge views across the city and water.

Dalian itself also makes this more interesting than it might initially sound. It's a major coastal city in northeast China, sitting on the Liaodong Peninsula and surrounded by water on three sides. There are beaches, waterfront promenades, parks, seafood restaurants and a very different atmosphere from Beijing or Shanghai.

China has also become considerably easier to visit. Passport holders from a growing number of countries can now enter China visa-free for short stays, although the exact eligibility and permitted length depend on your nationality.

Then there are the hotel offers. Four Seasons Dalian currently has 15% off the Room Rate when staying three nights or longer, while another offer gives you a complimentary fourth night.

Put all of that together and Dalian is almost exactly what I had in mind when I started looking for hotels for this article. You could settle in for a week or two at a virtually new Four Seasons, have a major city outside when you want it and still spend plenty of time doing absolutely nothing other than enjoying the hotel.

2. Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta, Indonesia

Approx. $200 to $300 per night

Jakarta could be one of the best options on this list if you're planning to work during your stay because Four Seasons Jakarta is an all-suite hotel.

Even the entry category gives you a separate living area, so you can create a proper workspace without spending the week working from your bed. Add a large outdoor pool, spa, gym and several restaurants and bars and you have pretty much everything you need for an extended stay.

Four Seasons also regularly runs offers here, including advance-purchase savings of up to 25% on selected dates.

Jakarta itself is enormous, with an excellent restaurant scene and plenty going on when you want to get out. You could spend a week here without feeling any need to create a packed itinerary.

3. Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt

Approx. $250 to $450 per night

This is where the idea becomes a lot more fun.

Instead of spending your long stay in a city hotel, you could base yourself on the Red Sea. Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh has beaches, multiple pools, restaurants, a spa and excellent diving and snorkelling right on your doorstep.

There are also offers that can make a longer stay particularly attractive, including 15% off when staying three nights or longer and advance-purchase savings of up to 20% on selected dates.

If you're working remotely, you could work for a few hours in the morning, go for a swim or snorkel at lunchtime and head back to your room for the afternoon. If you're not working, staying longer means you can enjoy the resort without trying to fit everything into three or four nights.

4. Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano, Egypt

Approx. $300 to $450 per night

Alexandria might be one of the more unexpected finds on this list.

The hotel sits right on the Mediterranean and has its own private beach, so you get something much closer to a resort stay while still being in the middle of Egypt's second-largest city. There are indoor and outdoor pools, a large spa, several restaurants and plenty of rooms with balconies overlooking the sea.

For a longer stay, this could work extremely well. You could spend the morning working or relaxing at the hotel, walk along the Corniche in the afternoon, visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, explore the city's Greek and Roman history or simply spend the day on the beach.

There are some interesting offers too. Four Seasons currently has a 15% off promotion on selected dates that includes daily breakfast for two, and other longer-stay offers appear throughout the year.

Alexandria is also somewhere many international visitors rush through or skip entirely on an Egypt itinerary. Staying for a week and treating the hotel as your Mediterranean base would be a very different way to experience the city.

5. Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, India

Approx. $250 to $350 per night

Mumbai works well because there is an almost endless amount going on outside the hotel, but you still have a very comfortable place to retreat to when you've had enough of the city.

The hotel has a pool, spa and gym, along with AER, its rooftop bar overlooking Mumbai. For an extended stay, you can spend part of your time exploring the city and part of it simply enjoying the hotel.

It's also the kind of destination where staying longer can be rewarding. Rather than trying to see Mumbai in two or three days, you can slow everything down, try different restaurants, explore different neighbourhoods and still have plenty of time to do nothing.

6. Four Seasons Hotel Bogotá, Colombia

Approx. $300 to $400 per night

I've already tested this one, which is why it had to make the list.

Four Seasons Hotel Bogotá is the more contemporary of the city's two Four Seasons properties and has just 64 rooms and suites. Its relatively small size works particularly well on a longer stay because you quickly start to feel settled.

You're also around Zona T and Zona Rosa, so there are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops nearby. You can spend the day working or relaxing at the hotel and then head out in the evening without needing much of a plan.

7. Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá, Colombia

Approx. $300 to $400 per night

Casa Medina is only a short drive from Four Seasons Hotel Bogotá, but the two hotels feel completely different.

This one is historic, atmospheric and has just 62 rooms and suites. It's also in Zona G, one of Bogotá's main restaurant districts, so there are plenty of places within easy reach when you want to get out.

There are often longer-stay offers here too, including a third-night-free promotion on selected dates.

One option is to split a longer Bogotá stay between the two Four Seasons hotels. You get a completely different environment halfway through the trip without having to go anywhere near an airport.

8. Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake, China

Approx. $400 to $500 per night on selected dates

If you're going to pick another Four Seasons in China for a longer stay, I'd make it Hangzhou at West Lake.

West Lake is the heart of Hangzhou and one of the most famous scenic areas in China. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its temples, gardens, historic pagodas, bridges, willow-lined paths and traditional boats crossing the lake. It has inspired Chinese poets, painters and writers for centuries, and it is the main reason many people visit Hangzhou in the first place.

Four Seasons sits directly beside the lake, surrounded by traditional Chinese gardens, lagoons and greenery. It feels much more like a retreat than a conventional city hotel, but you're still in Hangzhou and only a high-speed train ride from Shanghai.

It's also somewhere where having extra time would be a real advantage. You can take a boat out on West Lake, explore temples and gardens, visit the nearby tea plantations or spend an afternoon doing absolutely nothing at the hotel.

There are some excellent longer-stay offers too. Four Seasons currently offers a complimentary third night for every two consecutive paid nights on selected dates, as well as advance-purchase savings of up to 20%.

There is even a three-night West Lake experience that includes daily breakfast, a 60-minute massage for two, a tea ceremony and calligraphy session, and a three-course dinner.

If you can find dates that bring the average nightly rate below $500, this would be one of the most interesting options on the entire list. You're not just getting somewhere comfortable to stay for a week. You're staying beside one of China's most famous landscapes, in a destination where slowing down for a while makes a lot of sense.

9. Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires, Argentina

Approx. $400 to $500 per night on selected dates

Buenos Aires is one to watch carefully for dates because rates can easily move above $500, but when the hotel falls within this range, it absolutely deserves a place on the list.

The property combines a contemporary hotel tower with La Mansión, an early 20th-century mansion that gives the hotel far more character than the average city Four Seasons. La Mansión has also recently undergone a restoration.

Then there is Buenos Aires itself. This might be one of the easiest cities on this list in which to spend two weeks. You have fantastic restaurants, cafés, architecture, museums, parks and neighbourhoods that are much better explored slowly than raced through on a three-night itinerary.

The hotel is in Recoleta, so there is plenty around you, while the large outdoor pool and garden give you somewhere to spend the afternoon when you don't feel like exploring.

Even better for this particular idea, Four Seasons currently has a third-night-free offer on selected dates. Find dates when the underlying room rate is already under $500, add the complimentary third night, and Buenos Aires can become a very compelling option for a longer stay.

10. Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza, Egypt

Approx. $350 to $500 per night

Cairo gives this list something completely different again.

Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza sits directly on the Nile, with several restaurants, three pools and a large spa. For a longer stay, you have a full city hotel to retreat to while being surrounded by one of the most interesting cities in the world.

Cairo is also somewhere that rewards having more time. You can see the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum without trying to cram everything into one exhausting day, spend an afternoon exploring Islamic Cairo, take a day off by the pool and still have plenty left to do.

It's also an interesting option if you're planning a wider Egypt trip. Spend a week here, then continue to Luxor, Aswan or the Red Sea when you're ready to move on.

Why A Longer Four Seasons Stay Can Work So Well

The idea isn't that you need ten days to sightsee in every destination on this list. That's almost the opposite of what I'm suggesting.

The attraction is having somewhere extremely comfortable to base yourself and removing the pressure to constantly move. You can work if you need to, spend a morning at the pool, go out for lunch, explore for a few hours, come back to the hotel, use the gym and then head somewhere for dinner.

If you spend an entire day doing very little, that's fine too. You're not trying to squeeze an entire destination into 48 hours.

That's what worked so well for me in Bogotá, and it's why I started looking for where I could do it again.
