The secret of New York living is to head upwards. It is a city that only spreads out to deliver spectacular views once you have chosen a suitable skyscraper and no hotel in the metropolis comes taller or classier than the Four Seasons. From its large upper floor rooms it is easy to feel comfortably cocooned from all the city’s noise and dirt. Yet the views, looking down between tall buildings on snaking queues of yellow cabs are pure Manhattan. Or perhaps the dipping sun over the green expanse of Central Park is another view that exemplifies the hotels extraordinary location between Park and Madison Avenue.

Everything about the Four Seasons New York epitomises the quintessential city hotel, from its inspired exterior that rises 52 stories to its sumptuously decorated rooms and suites. Many rooms also feature terraces that deliver ever more spectacular views the higher you go. Tired travellers can soothe the aches of long distance travel with the famous “jet lag” massage, and the hotel boasts that your deep bath located in the newly redecorated marble bathrooms in each of the 368 rooms and suites, will fill in under 60 seconds!  

The hotel offers a choice of dining from exquisitely served afternoon tea to fine dining in the elegant Fifty Seven restaurant. After a busy day in the city, relax in the spa and fitness centre. With Four Seasons, it’s the little touches and attention to detail that make this such a remarkably impressive hotel, even by New York standards.
