The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons New York

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at The Garden

Full breakfast for two per bedroom at The Garden, the Italian-inspired restaurant above the lobby, or through 24-hour in-room dining. The Garden serves breakfast from 6:30 to 11:30 am on weekdays and from 7:00 to 11:00 am at weekends, among potted acacia trees with windows onto 57th Street. The lemon ricotta pancakes have stayed on the menu since before the closure. Four Seasons sells the same breakfast as its Bed and Breakfast offer, so a Preferred Partner booking includes it at the room-only rate.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay. Every room here is marketed as a junior suite or a suite, so we confirm with the hotel which amount applies to the category you book. The credit works well at TY Bar, at lunch or weekend brunch in The Garden, or on a Natura Bissé treatment in one of the two spa suites.

03

Upgrade priority

A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. The junior suites are all 46 sq m (500 sq ft), so the upgrade that counts is in the view and the floor: from a City View junior suite to a Central Park View or an Upper Floor junior suite, or from a junior suite to the 65 sq m (700 sq ft) one-bedroom Central Park Suite.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. Check-in is at 3:00 pm and checkout at noon. Overnight flights from Europe and the west coast land in the early morning, so we ask the hotel to have a suite ready on arrival. If it is not, the hotel stores bags and opens the fitness centre for a shower.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. The hotel says around 60 percent of its guests are returning ones, and we pass on your view preference, the floor you liked before the closure and any celebration.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

Preferred Partner benefits apply on top of the hotel's published offers, which in October 2026 include Advance Purchase at 15 percent off, an Experience More spending credit and the Suite Rate. We check which gives the best total for your dates when we quote.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons New York

Four Seasons Hotel New York has 219 rooms and suites in I.M. Pei's 52-storey tower, the great majority of them junior suites and suites, and seven with private outdoor terraces. Fewer than 12 suites share each floor. The interiors are Ty Warner's own, with wood panelling, hand-knotted rugs and marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. The renovation kept that look and added Lavazza coffee machines, new minibars, new furnishings and Natura Bissé bath products. Views face either the Midtown skyline or Central Park, and the category you book decides which.

Best value

Jr. Suite, City View and City View Upper Floor

The junior suite is 46 sq m (500 sq ft) with a king bed and a sitting area, about twice the size of a standard Midtown hotel room. It sleeps three adults, or two adults and a child, with a rollaway or a cot. The Upper Floor version costs a little more for a higher outlook over the skyline, and floor plans vary.

The room to book

Jr. Suite, Central Park View and Central Park View Upper Floor

The same 46 sq m (500 sq ft) junior suite, with windows towards Central Park. This is the smallest room in the hotel that guarantees the park, and the Upper Floor version adds height above the buildings along 57th and 58th Streets.

A separate bedroom

Central Park Suite and Central Park Suite with Terrace

The Central Park Suite is 65 sq m (700 sq ft), with a separate living room and a king bedroom. One reviewer's suite looked over Central Park to the Hudson River. The terrace version adds a private landscaped terrace, a rare thing in a Manhattan hotel and worth asking for from May to October.

Families

Manhattan Suite and Manhattan Two-Bedroom Suite

The Manhattan Suite is 102 sq m (1,100 sq ft) with one king bedroom and a large living room. The Manhattan Two-Bedroom Suite is 140 sq m (1,500 sq ft), with two king bedrooms or a king and two twins, and sleeps five adults, or three adults and two children.

Space to entertain

Royal Suite, Presidential Suite and Gotham Suite

The Royal and Presidential Suites are each 200 sq m (2,150 sq ft), designed with Peter Marino. The Royal Suite has two bedrooms and sleeps six. The Gotham Suite is 400 sq m (4,300 sq ft) with three king bedrooms for up to eight guests.

The top of the tower

Ty Warner Penthouse

The Ty Warner Penthouse fills the 52nd floor: 400 sq m (4,300 sq ft) with four cantilevered glass balconies, a private lift and 360-degree views of Manhattan. It took Ty Warner, I.M. Pei and Peter Marino seven years to complete, and has been reported at about $80,000 a night.

Accessible versions of the City View junior suite (51 sq m, 550 sq ft) and the Central Park Suite have wider doorways and roll-in showers. Children aged 17 and under stay free in their parents' room, space permitting, and every category takes either a rollaway or a cot.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons New York

01

57th Street, not Downtown

Four Seasons has two hotels in Manhattan, and booking sites and taxi drivers mix them up. Four Seasons Hotel New York is the I.M. Pei tower at 57 East 57th Street, between Madison and Park Avenues, a few minutes' walk from Central Park. Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown is at 27 Barclay Street, a block from the World Trade Center, with an indoor lap pool, a full spa and CUT by Wolfgang Puck. Choose 57th Street for Central Park, Fifth Avenue and the large suites. Choose Downtown for a pool, Tribeca and the Financial District.

02

Book the view category, then ask for height

Central Park is only guaranteed in the categories that name it: the Central Park View junior suites and the Central Park Suites. City View rooms face the Midtown towers. Once the view is secured, we ask the hotel for the highest floor available, or book an Upper Floor category to guarantee it.

03

Budget for New York's hotel taxes

New York City hotel stays carry sales tax and hotel occupancy tax that together come to about 14.75 percent of the room rate, plus about $3.50 per room per night in flat city and state charges. The hotel does not list a destination or amenity fee. We give you the full total with your quote.

04

Dinner is in the bar or your suite

The Garden serves breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch, and in the evenings opens only for private events. For an evening meal in the hotel, TY Bar's menu runs to dishes such as beef Wellington and lobster Thermidor, and in-room dining is open around the clock. For anything more, we book a table in the neighbourhood ahead of time.

05

Don't count on a full spa yet

The hotel has no pool, and the spa is being reworked. For now, treatments by Natura Bissé are given in two spa suites and booked through the concierge, so request them when you book rather than on arrival. The fitness centre is open 24 hours, and Central Park's running paths are a few blocks away.

06

Use the house car and the 58th Street door

The hotel keeps a Bentley house car for short trips nearby, subject to availability, so ask the concierge before calling a taxi to Fifth Avenue or Rockefeller Center. If you arrive by car, valet parking is at the East 58th Street entrance and is charged by the night.

07

Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve

TY Bar has a large screen showing a live feed from a camera on top of the hotel, and it streams the Thanksgiving Day Parade and the New Year's Eve ball drop. Both dates book up early, and the first half of December carries the hotel's highest rates of the year, so plan well ahead.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons New York

Four Seasons Hotel New York has one restaurant and one bar, both on the mezzanine level overlooking I.M. Pei's lobby, plus 24-hour in-room dining. Executive Chef Maria Tampakis, who came from Four Seasons Downtown, rewrote the menus for the reopening and kept the dishes the regulars asked for.

Breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch

The Garden

The Garden sets its tables among African acacia trees, with oversized windows onto 57th Street. The menu leans to northern Italy, with panettone French toast, short rib agnolotti and an Italian Benedict. Breakfast runs from 6:30 to 11:30 am on weekdays and 7:00 to 11:00 am at weekends, lunch from noon to 3:00 pm on weekdays, and brunch from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. This is where the Preferred Partner breakfast is served.

Cocktails and evening dining

TY Bar

TY Bar sits under the lobby's high ceilings, with a fireplace and tall windows. The cocktail list, developed with bartender Toby Maloney, follows New York's drinking history, from the Ty Manhattan to a Three Martini Lunch. It opens at 3:00 pm daily and closes at 11:00 pm on Sunday and Monday and at midnight from Tuesday to Saturday, with live music on Thursdays from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.

24 hours

In-room dining

The in-room menu was rewritten for the reopening and runs from fresh juices and omelettes to a New York strip steak at any hour. It includes a signature breakfast of caviar and crème fraîche with Dom Pérignon. There is also a gourmet menu for dogs, Paws & Plates.

On Property

Fitness, spa and services at Four Seasons New York

Four Seasons Hotel New York is a city hotel without a pool, and its spa is still in a reduced form after the reopening. What it offers instead is space in the suites, Central Park on the doorstep and a concierge team that the hotel builds much of the stay around.

01

Fitness centre

The fitness centre is open 24 hours, with new Technogym and Peloton equipment. Personal trainers lead sessions in the gym, in your suite or on a run in Central Park, for a fee, through the concierge.

02

Spa suites

The hotel has announced plans for a renovated spa. Until it opens, Natura Bissé treatments are given in two dedicated spa suites, booked through the concierge.

03

Concierge and MY NYC Moment

The concierge team arranges theatre, restaurant tables and the hotel's MY NYC Moment experiences, such as a cooking class with a James Beard Award-winning chef, a private shopping appointment or an after-hours museum tour.

04

Included for every guest

Twice-daily housekeeping with evening turndown, Wi-Fi, a daily newspaper and shoe shining on request are included, and suite guests get premium Wi-Fi. Families get children's welcome amenities, childproofing kits, cots and babysitting on request.

05

The building

I.M. Pei designed the tower, which opened in 1993 as the tallest hotel in Manhattan at 204 metres (670 feet). The exterior and the lobby, with its 10-metre (33-foot) ceiling, are in the same honey-coloured French limestone Pei used for the Louvre expansion.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons New York

New York is busy all year, and the hotel's rates follow the city's calendar of holidays, fashion weeks and conferences more than the weather. In October and November 2026 the lowest published rate was about $2,500 a night before tax.

April to June
Spring brings blossom in Central Park and mild days for walking. A Central Park Suite with Terrace comes into its own from May.
July and August
Summer is hot and humid, and many New Yorkers leave the city at weekends. Business demand drops, which can mean better rates and a better chance of an upgrade, and Central Park's summer concerts and theatre are a walk away.
September to November
Autumn is the most popular season: clear weather, autumn colour in the park and a full calendar of events. Thanksgiving week books up early.
December to March
The first half of December, with the Rockefeller Center tree and the Fifth Avenue windows, carries the year's highest rates, and New Year's Eve sells out. January to March is the quietest time, with the best value of the year.
