Just in time for the holiday season, the Apres Ski Experience has transformed the Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel LA in Beverly Hills. Pose in the cozy faux ski gondola and sidle up on a couch surrounded by wintry French Alps-inspired holiday decor. This festive signature cocktail menu with fun culinary options inspired by Four Seasons Megève (but think Aspen in America) can now be ordered until January 1, 2024.

Highlights include Mont-Blanc Eggnog and Mulled Wine from the Cask – paired with Cheese Fondue and dipping options of sourdough bites, Yukon potatoes, mushrooms, and charcuterie. Continue the dipping affair with Chocolate Fondue featuring seasonal fruit or a rich decadent Hot Chocolate complete with a teddy bear marshmallow – nonalcoholic or spiced up with a little Macallan. 

Other culinary options to feel like you just hopped off the French slopes include cheese gougeres, assorted French cheeses, charcuterie, almond baked brie with pear mostarda, and Balmoral smoked salmon pate with dill, cream cheese, and salmon roe on crostini.

Don’t miss the delicious Four Seasons Megève signature cocktail, the Negroni des Alpes made with Gentiane des Peres Chartreux, white vermouth, and gin. Tis the season to make special memories.

Special holiday events bring the spirit
