I rarely write reviews on here, but the Four Seasons Hampshire truly deserves the praise. Tucked away in the English countryside, the hotel manages to strike that elusive balance: honoring the natural beauty of its surroundings while maintaining a relaxed yet refined atmosphere that feels both international and unmistakably local. Aside from the decadently appointed rooms and gorgeous grounds, what makes this hotel exceptional is the service all around. Somehow, the hotel is able to keep a traditional English feel: polite, kind, and sophisticated, while bringing in a fun international feeling with staff members sourced from all over the world. This is a challenge for a lot of chains that the FS has executed perfectly at this hotel. It's the small classic FS aspects that shine brightly here, retaining the small information that most chains would overlook, remembering room numbers, and engaging in small talk. I could continue to rant and rave about this property, but I wanted to provide an example of how the FS was able to de-escalate a delicate situation. A non-hotel guest had come to attend a wedding and ended up not being able to go home due to certain reasons. The staff managed to handle this situation with the utmost professionalism, while still being able to cater to the hotel's guests and taking care of the man who had attended the wedding. I have always lived by the saying at a hotel (or airline): what makes a chain great is when they want you to be there as much as you want to be there, and the FS ticks the box here. Out of all the Four Seasons I've stayed at, this must rank in the top three in terms of service across the world. Thank you for a lovely stay, and I look forward to returning.
