For the first hotel stay of my review trip to Bangkok, I spent a night at the Four Seasons Montreal. This was between two flights, as I was arriving on Porter’s Embraer E195-E2 from Fort Lauderdale, and the next day I was departing on Air France’s Boeing 787-9 to Paris.

What's the box on the lower level of the bedside table (first "Four Seasons Montreal deluxe king room" image)? A safe? Speaker? Just a decorative block?
I love staying at Four Seasons properties for the same reasons you shared here. Now, what is that frame on top of the bed? It looks absolutely unnecessary.
I say this as a FS frequent lodger - the frame is there to distract from the largely unadorned international beige walls behind and around the bed.
Could'nt agree more. Four Seasons has always been a delight for me and for the reasons that you stated: No surprises, No Problems, quiet luxury, engaged staff and quality F&B
Big fan of this property, it really is a solid example of what a city hotel should be. While a bit modern for Montreal, it does a good job of not being overly flashy in that regard and fits in. My recent stay at the Ft Lauderdale property had me longing for the level of service I experienced here (but other than that property I agree wholeheartedly that FS is a top tier experience).
There’s one on both sides of the bed. Looks like a cookie-cutter decorative box you see in a thousand interior magazine spreads.
I received a complimentary welcome Manhattan at the Four Seasons Casa Medina in Bogota.
@ All Due Respect -- Hah, sharp eye, I didn't even really notice that. I don't think it was anything, really, just a decorative box.
@ Santastico -- Hah, I love framed beds like that, for whatever reason! But yeah, typically you'd expect to find this at some tropical resort where there's a net around it.
@ Mark -- Yeah, when I booked the morning of, only deluxe king rooms were available, and it said there was one room remaining. After I booked, the hotel showed as sold out. So there were no rooms to upgrade to!
Now way beyond The Retiree’s pay grade but I had a few nights in the Beverly Hills Four Seasons (on company dime) some years back and loved it. Much older property (taken over from another brand) with the huge sanitaryware and taps of its build era in my bathroom but a lovely room with balcony view of the Hollywood sign.
Staff made the stay. I particularly recall the valet parkers who remembered guests by name, and their cars. The Rolls-Royces and Ferraris etc were lined up on display, the dross, including our Kias (media event) were buried out of sight in the basement.
