Two very different but iconic New York districts, Midtown and Downtown, provide the settings for our fall fashion feature, a street-view look at the season’s most alluring styles. From sharp and tailored tweeds to free-form knits and flowing silk gowns, the latest fashions feel perfectly at home at and around Four Seasons Hotel New York and the new Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown.
Downtown: Fine finishings
Architect Robert A.M. Stern and interior designer Yabu Pushelberg infused thoughtful luxury into every detail of the design of Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown.

Adjacent to the lobby at Four Seasons Hotel New York, you’ll find The Garden restaurant and the stylish, soaring TY Bar, legendary for its après-work scene. Enjoy bespoke cocktails, classic apertifs of the 1920s and ’30s, or a custom-barrel bourbon made exclusively by Hudson Bourbon for TY Bar.
Midtown: The penthouse view
Besides a 4,300-square-foot interior, guests of the Ty Warner Penthouse Suite at Four Seasons New York enjoy a 360-degree view from four cantilevered glass balconies—at 52 storeys, they’re the highest in the world.
