Year of the Snake: Luxury for Lunar New Year 2025

2025 marks the year of the snake—mysterious, dedicated, caring and transformative. January celebrations will usher in a year filled with introspection, transformation and personal development. Beginning on the 29th of January 2025, Lunar New Year festivities last 16 days and are marked by celebrations filled with parades, food and family.

Lunar New Year in Kyoto, Japan

Known for its iconic cherry blossoms, popular culture and traditional elements, Japan will not disappoint with its Lunar New Year festivities. Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto has been ranked highly, earning many awards and the title of one of the best hotels across the globe—and for good reason.

This hotel is situated in Higashiyama District where contemporary meets tradition. The 800-year-old heritage pond garden is perfect for reflecting on the year gone past and the upcoming months of 2025. The Two-Bedroom Heritage Garden Residence is nothing short of an oasis. Overlooking the 12th-century pond garden, this suite encompasses the ideal blend of modern luxury and nature.

Welcoming 2025 in Seoul, South Korea

Switching over to South Korea, Lunar New Year is considered to be one of the biggest holidays of the year. Families dress in traditional attire, communities come together and folk games are played.

The epitome of stylish elegance can be found at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. The Presidential Three-Bedroom Suite is defined by its awe-striking glass chandelier, inspired by the shape of icicles and woven leaves. This three-bedroom suite sleeps six adults and features a spa-like bathroom with an oversized soaking tub and a steam shower.
