One of Pursuitist’s favorite luxury escapes at Walt Disney World has officially changed hands. The iconic Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort has been sold as part of a $1.1 billion transaction that also included the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole in Teton Village, Wyoming.
Host Hotels & Resorts, the former owner, announced the sale ahead of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings call. The transaction included the 444-key Four Seasons Resort Orlando and the 125-key Jackson Hole property. The identity of the buyer has not been disclosed.
The Orlando resort is widely regarded as the pinnacle of luxury within Walt Disney World, known for its Michelin-starred dining, elevated design, and sweeping views of Disney’s nightly fireworks. The sale does not include the resort’s ongoing condominium development.
Host Hotels & Resorts originally acquired the two properties for a combined $925 million in 2021 and 2022, making the latest transaction a significant gain.
“The sale of these two iconic properties represents another important step in advancing our capital allocation strategy,” said James F. Risoleo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Host Hotels & Resorts. “We are pleased with our ability to monetize two recently acquired hotels at an attractive profit and an accretive multiple, and we will continue to use our competitive advantages to create value for our shareholders.”
It remains unclear whether the Orlando property will continue to operate under the Four Seasons flag or transition to a new hospitality brand. We have reached out to the resort for confirmation.
For now, guests can continue to expect the same world-class service, refined amenities, and unmatched Disney views that have made this property a standout in luxury travel.
