Designed by I.M. Pei, this sleek limestone tower on East 57th Street offers 368 of the largest standard guest rooms in New York City, averaging 600 square feet. The hotel's L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon restaurant and spa set the standard for Midtown luxury.
The Four Seasons Hotel New York rises 52 stories above East 57th Street in Midtown East, making it one of the tallest hotels in New York City. Designed by I.M. Pei and completed in 1993, the sleek limestone tower is a defining work of modernist architecture, its tapered silhouette a signature of the Midtown East skyline. The hotel sits between Madison and Park Avenues, two blocks from Fifth Avenue flagship stores, and within easy reach of the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, and Grand Central Terminal.
The hotel's 368 guest rooms average 600 square feet — among the largest standard rooms in New York City — and the 59th-floor Royal Suite is one of the most celebrated addresses in American hospitality. Rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, English sycamore paneling, and oversized marble bathrooms with soaking tubs and separate showers. The hushed, residential quality of each corridor reinforces a sense of privacy rarely found in Midtown.
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, the Michelin-starred restaurant, anchors dining at the hotel with an inventive tasting menu that draws both guests and discerning New Yorkers. The intimate bar and lounge off the lobby provides a quieter setting for pre-theater drinks or afternoon meetings.
The full-service spa occupies a dedicated floor and features signature treatments alongside a well-equipped fitness center and a 55-foot heated lap pool — a genuine rarity in Midtown Manhattan. The indoor pool deck has floor-to-ceiling windows and a sophisticated year-round atmosphere.
Service at the Four Seasons New York reflects the brand's global standard, with a multilingual concierge team, 24-hour in-room dining, and an attentive approach suited to both high-profile business travelers and leisure guests. The hotel's Midtown East location provides walking access to major corporate offices, the United Nations headquarters, and the full range of Midtown cultural institutions.
