by James Wilkinson

One of Manhattan’s most stylish properties, Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown is set to re-open on November 30, 2020 after an 8-month hiatus.

Recognised this year by Forbes Travel Guide as one of only three hotels in NYC with ten stars across the hotel and spa, Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, which is just four years young, will once again open its doors, offering the ultimate Downtown experience to the local neighbourhood, New Yorkers, domestic and international travellers.

“We are thrilled to once again be opening our doors and welcoming our guests back,” said Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown General Manager, Thomas Carreras.

“While this year has proved challenging in many respects, we have used the time wisely to further cultivate our guest offerings and guest experience and make property enhancements.

“With the health and safety of our guests and team members being our utmost priority, we have also used this time to focus on our already stringent hygiene and cleanliness standards, further enriched by our Lead With Care program.

“To celebrate our re-opening, we have curated a variety of experiences designed to appeal to a range of guests.

“Whether you’re a New Yorker looking for an overnight city staycation, you’re driving in from any number of major US cities just a few hours away, or you’re visiting us from another part of the country or the world, we look forward to welcoming you and ensuring your experience is exceptional,” Carreras said.

With Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown opening its doors from November 30 onwards, guests can now enjoy a full service experience at the Hotel including an array of health and wellness offerings at The Spa and casual, sophisticated dining at CUT by Wolfgang Puck.

In one of the most popular episodes of series 2 of Wayfarer, host James Gregory Wilkinson is in Manhattan and he heads into Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown and catches up with General Manager, Thomas Carreras.
