The Four Seasons Hotel New York will reopen on November 15th after being closed for four years. The iconic hotel is located on what is known as Billionaire’s Row on East 57th Street between Madison and Park Avenue. The hotel is near Central Park, Rockefeller Plaza, all of the shopping on Fifth Avenue, and many corporate offices in Midtown.

All of the rooms at the Four Seasons Hotel New York are suites. The 368 suites range in size from 500 square feet to 4,300 square feet (these include one to three bedrooms and some have terraces). Crowning the Hotel is the famed Ty Warner Penthouse on the 52nd floor. This architectural and artistic masterpiece is renowned for its bespoke design, beautifully crafted finishes, and one-of-a-kind features and amenities.

The hotel stands out due to iconic architect I.M. Pei’s striking design. This includes shimmering honey-toned marble floors and columns, soaring 33-foot glass ceilings and sculptural florals, and a grand lobby that is both opulent and warm.

The hotel will offer the Ty Bar and Garden Restaurant (which features Italian cuisine). The Garden Restaurant will be open for breakfast and lunch with dinner service coming in 2025. Other amenities include a fitness center and a spa that is also expected to open next year.

Lucky at One Mile at a Time shared the interesting story behind the hotel’s ownership and extended closure. The hotel is owned by Ty Warner (the billionaire behind Beanie Babies). He purchased the hotel in 1999 for $275 million, which was quite the discount considering it last sold for $475 million in 1993. Some of the hotel is being converted into extended stay units and that accounts for part of the delay with the rest being attributed to the pandemic.

Anthony’s Take: The Four Seasons Hotel New York is the epitome of old New York glamour. It’s great to see this iconic hotel returning soon and offering a playground for the 0.01%.
