Four Seasons Hotel New York Reopens with a Modern Twist: An Inside Look at the Enhanced Icon
Today marks the much-anticipated reopening of the iconic Four Seasons Hotel New York! Known for its legendary elegance, this midtown property has been thoughtfully enhanced, blending modern upgrades with its timeless charm. As a Top 30 Advisor with Four Seasons, we were invited to preview the refreshed spaces earlier this week, capturing exclusive photos and getting a firsthand feel for the enhanced guest experience. Here’s an insider’s perspective on what you can expect from this New York classic.
Sophisticated, Understated Elegance with Thoughtful Upgrades
Let’s be honest—our photos don’t do this property justice. In-person, the newly enhanced rooms exude an elegance that feels anything but outdated (aside from the classic marble bathrooms). Instead of a complete overhaul, the focus has been on elevating details with subtle upgrades that keep the hotel feeling fresh and luxurious while retaining its signature atmosphere. Here’s a peek at what’s been enhanced:
- Lighting and Fixtures: Expect upgraded lighting and high-quality fixtures that add a modern, airy feel.
- Interior Refreshments: Updated carpets, drapes, furniture, and décor bring a sophisticated simplicity that feels truly luxurious.
- Exclusive Layout: With only six accommodations per floor, relocated elevators ensure a more private and exclusive experience.
The bedding at this property has a distinct touch compared to other Four Seasons locations, featuring Ty Warner Hotels and Resorts mattresses, which differ slightly from the standard Four Seasons mattresses. As the current linens are phased out, the property plans to introduce the signature Four Seasons bedding, ensuring a seamless transition to the classic sleep experience guests expect.
Room Configurations and Luxurious Amenities
Four Seasons Hotel New York now has 219 rooms, with 119 open to guests and the full inventory available by March 2025. Most accommodations are now junior and one-bedroom suites, with breathtaking views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.
- In-Room Amenities: Lavazza coffee machines, Bodum tea kettles, and Natura Bissé toiletries add a luxurious touch to each stay.
- Technology Upgrades: Motorized drapes and shades are standard, while the Four Seasons mobile app provides a streamlined option for in-room services.
Dining: Experience the Enchanting Ambiance of Ty Bar and The Garden
One of the best ways to get a feel for the hotel’s ambiance is by enjoying a cocktail or meal in its reimagined dining spaces.
- The Garden Restaurant: Set within an enchanting indoor forest, The Garden now offers an Italian-inspired menu with seasonal ingredients and bespoke cocktails.
- Ty Bar: This art deco-style lounge remains a popular choice, serving a curated selection of premium whiskies, bourbons, and craft cocktails, perfect for unwinding or a pre-dinner drink.
Future Developments
Several additional enhancements are planned to elevate the guest experience even further:
- The Spa: A new spa will open in mid-2025, promising an enhanced retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation.
- Extended-Stay Options: Starting in 2025, the hotel will introduce long-term rental accommodations, including 1-3 bedroom suites, ideal for guests looking for a longer stay in Manhattan.

The concierge team is Les Clefs d’Or certified, ensuring guests experience the highest level of personalized service. Known for its world-class service, the Four Seasons New York continues to deliver on this reputation with small yet impactful upgrades.
