"While our staffers had eyes on the Four Seasons in such wintry locales as Gstaad, Switzerland (where a Four Seasons is due to open early next year) and Jackson Hole, Four Seasons Hotel Megève presents a French opportunity for a season's worth of snowy weather and icy behaviour. Stay with me: a daffy woman in a fur-hooded Moncler ski suit signs up for lessons to get close to the handsome instructor;"
"This venerable institution is not far from Nice nor Monaco - imagine the day trips - as well as the coastal village of Beaulieu-sur-Mer. James wrote, "I'm imagining the eclectic, wealthy characters sipping frosty rosé while shooting daggers at each other, butting heads over long, snoozy lunches in the grounds, and flouncing around nearby well-heeled town Beaulieu-sur-Mer." It's a great fit with what we've seen before - which is precisely why it may not actually make the cut."
Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons property near Nice, Monaco and Beaulieu-sur-Mer, presents a Mediterranean luxury setting populated by eclectic, wealthy characters. Grand-Hôtel scenes suggest frosty rosé, snoozy long lunches and tense interpersonal drama against coastal vistas. Four Seasons Hotel Megève provides a French alpine alternative with snowy weather, ski-instructor storylines, missing cold-weather luggage and snowstorm-induced tensions. Megève evokes cinematic possibilities reminiscent of Force Majeure, with potential for controlled-avalanche style drama. Creator preferences about cold climates are noted, but Megève remains considered for its capacity to generate icy interpersonal behaviour and high-drama scenarios.
