Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown
Like other New York hotel icons – think The Palace, The Pierre, and The Carlyle - Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown is greater than the sum of its parts. Yes, it has the requisite fine dining establishment, spectacularly spacious rooms with views over which to swoon, and a luxurious spa. The service is top notch (natch) and the vibrant lower Manhattan/financial district location is currently the place to be. Together, these amenities create five-star sumptuousness that any guest appreciates. But those who ‘get it’ know – Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown is much more than a posh place to rest; it’s a lifestyle.
Illustrative of this premise is the hotel’s unique celebration of the festive season – allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the magic that is New York City. The hotel’s exclusive Martinis & Mistletoe package (from November 22, 2019 to January 31, 2020) includes the best that Downtown has to offer. The overnight experience includes a personally curated VIP shopping experience at nearby Brookfield Place and Westfield World Trade Center, Priority/VIP access to One World Observatory for stunning sunset views, the Veuve Clicquot VIP Skating Package at Winterland Rink on The Rooftop at Pier 17, and a four course tasting menu dinner for two in the hotel’s signature restaurant CUT by Wolfgang Puck.

Also illustrative of the lifestyle concept is the hotel’s collaboration with New York trend setters, wellness experts, and gastronomic guides. Each of these alliances allows guests to step into a New York state of mind. Celebrated fashion designer and well-known New Yorker Marc Jacobs, for instance, partnered exclusively with the hotel to introduce a limited edition New York Fashion Week 2019 Sweatshirt that celebrates the union of two-storied institutions and a mutual love for all things New York City. Featuring an apple motif that pays homage to New York and to the iconic brands of Four Seasons and Marc Jacobs, the sweatshirt is the first collaboration of its kind for both brands.
