"This Four Seasons hotel occupies 24 floors of an 84-floor building (with condos making up the rest of the space). There is also a pool, spa, steam room, and 189 total rooms, including 28 suites. The two crown jewels are the recently renovated Metropolis Suite and the Empire Suite, a sprawling, 2,400 square-foot-space. The Four Seasons Downtown's ground floor is home to the only New York City outpost of Wolfgang Puck's Cut, serving fresh fruit and upscale takes on egg sandwiches by day, and steaks by night." - CNT Editors
"Best for: ToddlersNeighborhood: Tribeca While Midtown may have the greatest concentration of family-friendly hotels, don’t sleep on Tribeca. One of the city’s most welcoming hotels for kids is the towering Four Seasons, whose rooms are stocked with kid-sized robes and can be equipped with a cot and childproofed before arrival. The littlest guests here are also treated to a bevy of welcome amenities, ranging from personalized, New York–themed cookies, to a bespoke map of the city, to colorful picture books. We recommend the Oculus Suite for families, which is a true one-bedroom with two bathrooms plus a dining area with room for four. And make sure to bring your swimsuits; the indoor pool here is one of the nicest in the city, and it opens at 6 a.m., in case you’re dealing with some jet-lagged littles. Address: 27 Barclay St, New York, NY 10007"
"Recognized as a five-star property by Forbes Travel Guide, this downtown New York location has met Forbes’ inspection standards, indicating a high level of service and amenities as judged by that ranking body." - Mark Ellwood
"As home to some of the world’s top financial firms and a critical stock exchange, New York’s Financial District may not exactly scream wellness, but the Four Seasons Downtown is well on its way to proving the neighborhood should. The spa and fitness center occupy an entire floor of the centrally located hotel and feature a spacious sun deck and a 75-foot indoor pool with breathtaking views of downtown Manhattan. The treatment menu is as comprehensive as it gets, with a wide range of massages—including the Executive Recharge, which is specifically designed to fit into the busy schedules of professionals and focuses on the neck and shoulders—and innovative facials using 111Skin, Augustinus Bader, Omorovicza, and Soveral products. The spa also offers one-on-one sessions with several resident healers, like facial masseur Gavin Mcleod-Valentine and others who specialize in crystal therapy, chakra clearing, sonic alchemy, hypnosis, and more." - Gabby Shacknai
"Set in an 82-story tower in Lower Manhattan, this property offers residential-feeling rooms with neutral palettes, natural light, deep soaking tubs and some private balconies, aimed at guests seeking calm near Battery Park and the World Trade Center. The hotel is especially known for its spa facilities, which include a large sun terrace and a heated 75-foot lap pool, and for dining at an acclaimed steakhouse by a celebrity chef located just off the lobby. Design-forward finishes and thoughtful service create a tranquil urban retreat." - Jennifer Flowers
