Celebrating my special needs daughter’s 21st birthday at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills was more amazing than I could have ever imagined. As the parent of a special needs child, it is challenging to think of what happens after my daughter leaves highschool, the school system, and enters the real world. There are no real answers and next steps that exist in that space. We are not always equipped to handle the challenges, but we must welcome out encounters and hopefully enjoy each birthday with a smile. 

This year, I decided to take my daughter away overnight. Because of the limited travel options based, it was important that we stay close to home. Nothing could have prepared us for the beautiful accommodations we received at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. My daughter Taylor was overjoyed to have a beautiful makeover, sit by the pool, and experience dinner the night of her birthday at the Culina Restaurant.

In the heart of Beverly Hills stands a city icon, buzzing with the energy and excitement of one of the most diverse destinations in the world. When you’re not out roaming the Hollywood Hills, shopping on Rodeo Drive and exploring our city’s notable art museums, settle in and unwind at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. Soak up the sun at our resort-style pool, savour award-winning Italian cuisine at Culina and discover a new level of wellness at our Spa – or in the comfort of your very own guest room.

I knew my daughter needed something special for her birthday. It wasn’t until I created a weekend getaway that I realized how important it was to give her more often. As a mom of a special needs 21 year old, there was so much to digest during our weekend getaway. It helped that we were staying at one of the best hotels in Los Angeles.
