The Four Seasons Hotel New York, an architectural marvel crafted by the legendary IM Pei, has reopened its doors, welcoming guests back to an oasis of elegance and grandeur in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. This reopening marks a significant moment for the iconic property, celebrated for its Art Deco-inspired design, world-class hospitality, and enviable location on 57th Street.
Rainer Stampfer, President of Global Operations for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, expressed the excitement surrounding the hotel’s return: “The reopening of this iconic property is a celebration of its legacy as a hallmark of luxury hospitality. Together with our long-standing partner Ty Warner, we’re thrilled to continue the story of this magnificent hotel.”
A Landmark Address
Located at 57 East 57th Street, the hotel offers unparalleled access to some of New York City’s most treasured attractions, including Central Park, Fifth Avenue, and Rockefeller Plaza. The property’s concierge team provides tailored experiences, from securing coveted reservations to curating bespoke itineraries that unveil the city’s hidden gems.
General Manager Michal Dedera highlighted the enthusiasm surrounding the reopening: “The overwhelming response from both loyal and new guests has been heartwarming. This property is a beloved home away from home, and we’re delighted to welcome everyone back during this special holiday season.”
Awe-Inspiring Architecture
From the moment guests step into the hotel’s grand lobby, they are immersed in a world of sophistication. Designed by IM Pei, the 33-foot glass ceiling floods the space with natural light, while honey-toned marble and sculptural floral arrangements add to the sense of grandeur.
The lobby serves as the gateway to the hotel’s two dining outlets, exuding energy and a “see-and-be-seen” ambiance.
Luxurious Accommodations – Room and Suite Highlights
The Four Seasons Hotel New York boasts some of Manhattan’s most spacious accommodations, with rooms starting at 500 square feet and specialty suites reaching up to 4,300 square feet. Guests are treated to sweeping views of Central Park and the city skyline, with many suites offering private terraces for al fresco dining.
New touches include refined in-room beverage bars stocked with premium offerings from local and international purveyors. In-room dining has also been elevated, featuring signature breakfast items such as caviar with crème fraîche and Dom Pérignon.
At the pinnacle of luxury is the Ty Warner Penthouse, an architectural masterpiece with 360-degree views of the city, four terraces, and bespoke global design elements. This one-of-a-kind suite is available at $80,000 per night.
Culinary Excellence
The Garden
Under the canopy of potted trees, The Garden provides a serene setting for breakfast and lunch, with menus crafted by Executive Chef Maria Tampakis. Signature dishes include lemon ricotta pancakes, panettone French toast, and Italian Benedict with sundried tomato hollandaise. Next year, The Garden will extend its offerings to include dinner service.
TY Bar
Across the lobby, TY Bar reopens with an inspired menu of cocktails that pay homage to New York’s rich history. Guests can sip on a Ty Manhattan or indulge in the Three Martini Lunch flight, all elevated takes on classic libations. Accompanied by a new bites menu, TY Bar remains a sophisticated retreat for socializing.
The culinary team has also welcomed Jonathan Pereira as Executive Pastry Chef, who brings his artistry to everything from in-room dining desserts to bespoke cakes for special events.
