VIBE
Grand yet graceful, I.M. Pei's 52-story limestone tower of a hotel eschews trendy minimalism with polished Art Deco accents and imposing architecture designed to evoke timeless quality, glamour, and luxury. From the basics to the big ticket items, everything here is as good as it gets: the rooms are among the largest in the city, with some of the best views over Midtown and Central Park. Service is impeccable, the amenities are first-rate (don’t miss the opulent boutique spa and Michelin-starred cuisine), and the ambiance the ultimate in upscale.

WHY WE LIKE IT
It’s oh-so-ultra-luxe. We love indulging in decadent treats like the top-notch room service menu, the fabulous soaking tubs, and the pampering spa. The only hitch is that it’s so lovely being at the Four Seasons, we find it hard to get out and see the city…
AMENITY WE LOVE
The iconic Manhattan views.
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE
The price…
GOOD TO KNOW
The best views are from rooms on the top 15 floors. The most decadent suites offer terraces with views of Central Park. In-room PlayStations available on request. The Four Seasons is extremely child friendly. Kids are welcomed with an age-appropriate gift and kid-sized robes and toiletries, and parents rave about the restaurants’ kids’ menu, family-tailored info packs from the concierge, complimentary child-proofing in-room, babysitting services, and complimentary baby equipment.
