## **Four Seasons Hotel New York Reopens with the City’s Most Lavish Penthouse Suite**
After a four-year hiatus, the iconic *Four Seasons Hotel New York* is poised to redefine luxury as it reopens in Midtown Manhattan on November 15, 2024. Situated at 57 E. 57th Street, the legendary property is reclaiming its position as a landmark of opulence and elegance. Along with renovated accommodations, the centerpiece of its grand comeback is the *Ty Warner Penthouse*, a stunning addition that sets a new standard of extravagance. Priced at $80,000 per night, the suite stands as the most expensive hotel suite in New York City, ushering in a new chapter in the lavish lifestyle of Billionaires’ Row.
### **A Vision of Sky-High Luxury**
Rising above the city on the 52nd floor, the *Ty Warner Penthouse* is a creation of billionaire Ty Warner, co-founder of *Ty, Inc.*, the mastermind behind the Beanie Babies phenomenon. For Warner—who also uses the penthouse as his part-time residence—this meticulously designed suite is a passion project meant to encapsulate the finest elements of Manhattan’s glamour.
Spanning 4,300 square feet, the penthouse is a symphony of grandeur. Guests will be mesmerized by the sweeping panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline through floor-to-ceiling bronze-clad bay windows. Daringly engineered, its four cantilevered glass balconies—the highest of their kind in the world—appear to float beyond the building’s walls, offering the sensation of soaring above the city.
Inside, the suite’s features are equally extraordinary. A 700-square-foot library boasts a 26-foot cathedral ceiling crowned with a diamond-shaped skylight that drenches the room in natural light. Guests can unwind in the Zen Room, complete with a cascading waterfall, or take advantage of a private Spa Room outfitted with massage tables and fitness equipment. Everything about the *Ty Warner Penthouse* is designed to be a sanctuary for the elite, complete with a single king bed for the utmost exclusivity.
### **From Pandemic Shelter to New Beginnings**
The reopening of the *Four Seasons Hotel New York* is more than a return to business—it’s a reinvention. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the hotel temporarily housed first responders, symbolizing resilience during a challenging period. After closing its doors to the public in 2020, the property faced an extended closure amid disputes between Warner and *Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Management* over fees and operational costs. With these issues resolved, the hotel now embarks on a bold new chapter, reopening its upper floors with redesigned rooms while planning luxury extended-stay apartments on its lower levels.
### **Ty Warner’s Legacy of Exclusivity**
The reopening of the Four Seasons Hotel is only the latest jewel in Ty Warner’s glittering portfolio of high-end properties. Notable holdings include the *Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara*, currently in a state of uncertainty, and the iconic *San Ysidro Ranch* in Montecito, a hideaway celebrated for hosting John and Jacqueline Kennedy’s honeymoon. Throughout his ventures, Warner has demonstrated a flair for creating spaces defined by exclusivity, imagination, and unparalleled sophistication.
### **A Monument to Manhattan’s Opulence**
The *Ty Warner Penthouse* isn’t just a hotel suite—it’s an experience designed to dazzle. Warner describes the space as “a monument to Manhattan’s glamour.” Every feature, from the custom Bösendorfer baby grand piano to the cascading chandeliers, has been carefully curated to exude timelessness. Beyond its aesthetic brilliance, the penthouse offers unparalleled privacy, catering to those seeking more than accommodation. As Warner puts it, “This suite isn’t just a stay—it’s a story.”
Positioned prominently on Billionaires’ Row, the reopened *Four Seasons Hotel New York* is a bold statement in Manhattan’s competitive luxury landscape. The penthouse, with its $80,000 nightly rate, represents more than indulgence. It serves as a beacon of affluence, offering guests the chance to immerse themselves in a world where sky-high views meet Hollywood-worthy amenities.
With its grand reopening, the *Four Seasons Hotel New York* does not merely rejoin the ranks of Manhattan’s luxury offerings—it reclaims its throne. For those fortunate enough to book a night at the *Ty Warner Penthouse*, it’s more than a stay; it’s an immersion in a lifestyle where every detail is designed to awe. As the doors reopen, Manhattan’s luxury scene is forever transformed—one balcony view and cascading chandelier at a time.
