The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Westlake Village

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at Coin & Candor

Served daily from 7:00 to 10:30 am at Coin & Candor, the California brasserie off the lobby, with patio tables over the gardens. Breakfast is otherwise extra on the standard Room Rate.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay for dining or The Spa. Put it towards dinner at ONYX, lunch at The Cove or a treatment.

03

Upgrade priority

Deluxe and Waterfall-View rooms share the same 41 sq m (450 sq ft), so the first step up is the view. In suites, the next move is from a Corner Studio Suite to a one-bedroom corner suite.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. Check-in is at 3:00 pm and the hotel only guarantees an early room if the night before is booked, so this matters after a morning flight into LAX or Burbank.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We pass on celebrations, children's ages and pets, so the room is ready with a crib, kids' robes or a dog bed.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

The benefits apply on top of the hotel's Stay Longer offer, a free third night with every two paid nights, and Advance Purchase, up to 25 percent off. The Experience More credit package cannot be combined with other offers.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Westlake Village

BAMO's 2019 redesign gave the rooms a coastal palette of robin's egg blue, brass and lacquered wood. Every guest room has a marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub and a separate shower.

The room to book

Waterfall-View Room

41 sq m (450 sq ft) on floors three to seven, looking over the hotel's waterfall to the Santa Monica Mountains. King or two double beds; the king version takes a rollaway.

A couple with one child

Corner Studio Suite

59.8 sq m (644 sq ft), one king bed plus a sofa bed, rollaway or crib, for up to four guests. A good step up for families who do not need a separate bedroom.

Families wanting height

Waterfall Suite

80 sq m (860 sq ft) on the seventh floor, in the centre of the building, with high ceilings and French doors between living room and bedroom. Sleeps five adults.

The best views

Westlake Corner One-Bedroom Suite

95 sq m (1,025 sq ft) with floor-to-ceiling corner windows over the gardens, waterfall and mountains, a guest powder room and a sofa bed. The Malibu Corner version is smaller and faces the courtyard.

For larger groups, the Malibu Two-Bedroom Suite, 120 sq m (1,300 sq ft), sleeps up to eight adults, and the Presidential Suite is 235 sq m (2,525 sq ft).

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Westlake Village

01

It is not a base for Los Angeles

Booking sites often list it as Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Westlake Village, but it is 45 to 60 minutes from the city. For Beverly Hills or Hollywood, Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills is the better choice.

02

Plan dinners around the restaurant days

Coin & Candor serves dinner every night, but ONYX opens only Wednesday to Saturday and dinner at The Cove runs Thursday to Monday.

03

Book Piuma or Zuma ahead

These two private garden suites beside the adults-only Serenity Pool each seat six, with their own plunge pool and television. Most guests reserve them, and Cove cabanas, through the Four Seasons app or The Spa.

04

Expect weddings and conferences at weekends

The hotel has 4,180 sq m (45,000 sq ft) of event space and is a busy wedding venue, and an event can take over the greenhouse beside The Cove. Midweek stays are usually quieter around the grounds.

05

Bring a car, or borrow a bike

Little is walkable beyond the grounds and the lake, and parking is charged nightly. The hotel lends Bluejay electric bikes free, first come, first served, for rides around Westlake Village.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons Westlake Village

Executive Chef Hugo Bolaños runs five outlets, from Stir, the lobby coffee shop open 6:00 am to 5:00 pm, to a late-night cocktail bar.

Wood-fired cooking with produce from the hotel garden and nearby farms. Breakfast daily, lunch on weekdays, brunch from 11:00 am at weekends and dinner from 5:00 to 10:00 pm. Reserve patio tables 24 hours ahead.

Japanese and sushi bar

ONYX

Nigiri and sashimi at a sit-down sushi bar, with hot dishes such as miso black cod and a sake list. Open Wednesday to Saturday, 5:30 to 10:00 pm.

Mediterranean by the pool

The Cove Pool, Kitchen & Bar

Open-air Baja and Mediterranean cooking under the palms. Seated lunch runs daily from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, with dinner from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, Thursday to Monday.

Speakeasy bar

Prosperous Penny

A 50-seat, Prohibition-themed cocktail bar open daily from 6:00 pm to midnight, with live jazz from 8:00 to 10:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

On Property

Pools, spa and wellness at Four Seasons Westlake Village

Three pools, a very large spa and an on-site wellbeing centre sit within the gardens.

01

The Cove

The grand pool, opened in 2023, with terraced loungers, daybeds, hammocks, three whirlpools, a bocce court and an activity lawn. Open 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, with food service until 5:00 pm.

02

Serenity Pool and indoor pool

The Serenity Pool, inside the spa, is for guests 18 and over. The heated indoor pool stays open from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm, useful for early swimmers and for families on cooler days.

03

The Spa

3,716 sq m (40,000 sq ft) with 28 treatment rooms, including four suites with plunge pools. Open daily 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, with treatments from 9:00 am.

04

Center for Health & Wellbeing

Nutrition consultations, body-composition and metabolism tests, guided hikes and cooking classes in The Kitchen, with medical services through CURE Medical. Daily fitness classes in the 1,486 sq m (16,000 sq ft) gym are free.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons Westlake Village

Westlake Village draws Los Angeles families at weekends and holidays, so the calendar matters more than the weather.

December holidays
From 1 December to 1 January, snow falls on the front drive every half hour from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. Mid-December weekends fill with locals, so book early.
June to September
The Cove at its busiest, with school holidays and long lunches by the pool. The best time to pair the hotel with Malibu beach days.
Spring and autumn
Warm days with fewer families than in summer. Midweek stays, away from weekend weddings, are the calmest of the year.
Travel

Getting to Four Seasons Westlake Village

The hotel is at the western edge of Los Angeles County, 10 minutes from Thousand Oaks. The concierge books car and limousine transfers.

From Hollywood Burbank (BUR)
The closer airport, and the better choice when it has a flight from your city.
From Los Angeles International (LAX)
For long-haul and most international flights. Limousine bookings include a meet-and-greet on arrival.
Good to Know

Four Seasons Westlake Village FAQs

What is the best way to book Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village?

The best way to book Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor. The advisor books the official Four Seasons rate, with no booking fees, and the reservation adds daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit and upgrade priority.

What are the Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Westlake Village in 2026?

Daily breakfast for two per bedroom at Coin & Candor, a $100 hotel credit per stay ($200 in suites), a one-category upgrade when available at check-in, priority for early check-in and late checkout, and a welcome amenity with VIP recognition. The benefits combine with the hotel's own offers, such as Stay Longer.

Is Four Seasons Preferred Partner an official Four Seasons program?

Yes. Four Seasons Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own program for invited travel advisors. The benefits are confirmed by the hotel on the reservation, not added by a third party, and the rate is the official rate Four Seasons publishes.

Travel advisor vs Amex FHR vs booking direct: which is best for Four Seasons Westlake Village?

A Four Seasons Preferred Partner advisor and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) both add breakfast for two, a $100 credit and upgrade priority at Four Seasons Westlake Village. FHR also guarantees 4:00 pm checkout, but needs an Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a booking through Amex Travel. Preferred Partner needs no card, doubles the credit to $200 in suites and adds VIP recognition. Virtuoso advisors can book Four Seasons Westlake Village with the same core benefits, but Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own in-house program, and its bookings get higher priority for upgrades and recognition. Booking direct at fourseasons.com costs the same and adds none of these, because Four Seasons has no points programme.

Is Four Seasons Westlake Village close to the beach?

No, it is inland, in the Conejo Valley behind the Santa Monica Mountains. The nearest Pacific beach is about 14 km (9 miles) away and central Malibu about 20 to 25 minutes by car.

Which airport should I fly into for Four Seasons Westlake Village?

Hollywood Burbank (BUR) when it has a flight from your city, because it is closer and smaller than LAX. Long-haul and most international travellers land at LAX, which is at least 45 minutes away by car and often an hour or more in traffic.

Is Four Seasons Westlake Village good for kids?

Yes, for families who want pools and space rather than a full-day club. Children aged 5 to 12 have a playroom, teens aged 13 to 17 get their own key to a games room, and there is an arcade, a putting green and an activity lawn.

What is the Center for Health & Wellbeing at Four Seasons Westlake Village?

The hotel's on-site wellness centre. Accredited experts run nutrition, fitness, sleep and stress programmes, from single sessions to multi-day retreats, with medical services through CURE Medical. Its programmes are for adults.

Does it cost more to book Four Seasons Westlake Village through Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

No. The Four Seasons Preferred Partner rate matches the rate the hotel publishes itself, and we charge no booking fees. The benefits are added at no extra cost.

Can Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits be added to a Four Seasons Westlake Village booking I have already made?

Usually, yes, if you booked directly with the hotel. Send us your confirmation and the benefits can be added with the dates, rate, room type and cancellation policy unchanged. Bookings made through an online travel agency cannot be moved.
