Four Seasons Hotel New York

The only building in the West designed by architect I.M. Pei rises 52 storeys, tapering as it goes. Its Art Deco-inspired facade contrasts with recessed sections of the structure, and the smooth uniformity of the surroundings. Here and there, wrought-iron lanterns cast a glow, while the solemnity of the ten-meter-high lobby is softened by honey, caramel, and cream tones bathed in natural light. The guest rooms are crafted with the same eye for soothing colour palettes, featuring distinctive furnishings and silk-textured walls. The Garden restaurant plays on Manhattan’s reputation as an urban jungle, nestled among African acacia trees overlooking the entrance hall. Its weekend brunch draws a mix of hotel guests and the city’s fashionable crowd, and as for cocktails, the Ty Bar channels a private club vibe, draped in deep red, where mixologists reinvent classics to complement the playful dishes.
