Why it works for an anniversary
Anniversary trips to great cities live or die on the dinner of the trip. The hotel must do the celebration without the city having to do the work — a private room in a Michelin restaurant inside the building, a bar where the right toast is poured, a turn-down service that knows tonight is the one. The cities that do this best — Paris, London, New York, Tokyo, Vienna — have grand-dame hotels measured in centuries, not decades.
Four Seasons is the operating system most luxury hotels are quietly compared against. For an anniversary the case is competence: Four Seasons rooms have anniversary protocols built into the reservation system, the dining programmes have anniversary tasting menus on standby, and the spa has couple's treatments designed for the morning of. The brand removes the friction.
Where it ranks against rivals
For a 2026 milestone anniversary at this level, the most direct comparisons are Raffles London at the OWO in London (#33 on this list), The St. Regis Florence in Florence (#35 on this list), Rosewood Villa Magna in Madrid (#32 on this list). Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon earns the higher rank for one or two specific reasons covered in the verdict above. The other properties are not lesser hotels — in some cases the answer for your particular celebration is the runner-up. The city-specific page below has the full local ranking.
