Updated November 2026.
Four Seasons Hotel New York returned in November 2024 after an extended closure. The Midtown landmark again offers a polished base between Park and Madison Avenues. Its I.M. Pei design, tall lobby and generous room proportions still set it apart.
This Four Seasons Hotel New York review updates the reopening, dining and wellness details. It also preserves the original article’s view of the hotel as calm, formal and service focused.
Four Seasons Hotel New York Review: Essential Details

The 52 story building rises 670 feet and was designed by I.M. Pei with Frank Williams. Central Park, Fifth Avenue and Museum of Modern Art are close by.
Arrival and Design
The soaring lobby creates a strong first impression. Pale stone, high ceilings and precise lines give the public spaces a calm, monumental character. The effect is grand without relying on ornate decoration.
The atmosphere is more formal than boutique. That suits travelers who value privacy and a polished setting. Guests seeking a younger or more casual hotel may prefer our Moxy NYC Chelsea review.
Rooms and Suites
The hotel lists 17 studios, 138 junior suites, 59 suites and five specialty suites. Seven accommodations have private terraces. The room photographed for the original article shows a spacious layout, a large bed and a broad city view.
Higher floors can offer stronger Manhattan views, but the exact outlook depends on room type. Ask the hotel to confirm the view before paying a premium. Accessible rooms are available.

Dining and Drinks
The old claim that the hotel lacks a full restaurant is no longer accurate. FIFTY7 serves breakfast daily, lunch on weekdays and brunch on weekends. Official hours list weekday breakfast from 6:30 to 11:30. Weekend breakfast runs from 7 to 11:30.
Ty Bar opens daily from 2 pm until midnight. It remains a comfortable choice for cocktails and a quiet meeting. Room service is available around the clock. A lobby coffee station operates from 5:30 to 7:30 each morning.
Dining hours can change for holidays and private events. Confirm the schedule when booking.
Spa, Fitness and Services
- Spa: L.RAPHAEL treatments and Natura Bissé spa suites
- Fitness: Technogym equipment and Peloton bikes
- Transport: Bentley house car service, subject to availability

The Midtown hotel does not list a swimming pool among its current facilities. The pool image previously used here belongs to Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown. It has therefore been removed from this article.
Highlights
- Large accommodations: Rooms and suites feel generous by Manhattan standards.
- Distinctive architecture: The I.M. Pei design gives the property a clear identity.
- Strong location: Central Park, Fifth Avenue and major museums are close.
- Restored dining: FIFTY7, Ty Bar and 24 hour room service cover the day.
- Formal atmosphere: The hotel suits business travel and important celebrations.
Things to Note
- Rates can be among the highest in New York.
- The mood is polished and formal rather than relaxed.
- High floor views depend on the booked room category.
- There is no pool listed at this Midtown property.
- Restaurant and bar hours should be confirmed for your dates.
Book early for holidays, fashion events and major citywide dates. Read cancellation terms carefully because flexible rates can cost more.
Value
The hotel makes most sense when space, location and discreet service matter more than price. It can also work for a special occasion. Travelers who spend little time in the room may find better value elsewhere.
Compare the full rate, taxes, breakfast and any included benefits. A higher room category may only be worthwhile if the view or terrace is guaranteed.
