Four Seasons Hotel New York

Four Seasons Hotel New York stands at 57 East 57th Street in Midtown East, New York City, United States, in a limestone tower designed by I.M. Pei and Partners and completed in 1993. The building rises to about 682 feet and was for years among the tallest hotels in the world, and its stepped, pale-stone form is a recognisable part of the skyline. The address sits between Madison and Park Avenues, a few blocks from Central Park, Fifth Avenue's luxury boutiques and the Museum of Modern Art, with the 59th Street and Lexington Avenue subway lines close by. Interiors feature a monumental columned lobby in Pei's minimalist style, with warm stone, high ceilings and a sense of calm scale. The hotel is known for unusually large guest rooms by Manhattan standards, with many categories starting well above the city norm and offering deep marble bathrooms with soaking tubs. Room types include Deluxe Rooms, Premier Rooms, Executive Suites and the Ty Warner Penthouse, a multi-level residence that has ranked among the most expensive hotel accommodations in the world. Upper-floor rooms deliver long views over Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Dining is anchored by the lobby-level restaurant and bar spaces, which serve breakfast, lunch and cocktails to hotel guests and local business clientele. The Spa at Four Seasons offers treatments, a fitness centre and a sauna and steam area. The hotel is pet friendly and known for polished, business-oriented service, with a well-staffed concierge, in-room dining and a reputation for consistent attention to detail. It suits business travellers, shoppers and families who want space and a central address. Rates typically run from about $900 to $2,500 per night, and the top suites cost far more. The hotel's focus is on refined comfort and service rather than trendy design, so it appeals most to guests who value quiet efficiency.
