Packed with connotations of style, glamour and grandeur, elite hotels in New York will feature all that the elite traveler desires, from designer décor to floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the world’s capital.
Whether you’re looking for Old World opulence, celebrity-studded party scenes, or a private spa, you’ll find it in one of the best suites in New York.
Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Season Hotel New York
Touting a renovation price tag of more than $50 million, this delightful expanse offers nine rooms, a 360-degree panorama of the city below and four French doors revealing a view of Central Park that is almost surreal in its perfection. As impressive as the décor are the personal butler, personal therapist and personal chauffeur for unlimited travel in a Rolls-Royce Phantom or Mercedes Maybach, depending on your preference. Every element of this I.M. Pei and Peter Marino-designed space is breathtaking and constitutes a catalog of the world’s most exceptional materials.
