Downtown, south of 14th Street, is where New York is happening in the moment. By day or after hours, the streets are alive. People are shopping up-and-coming international designers in SoHo. Discovering new culinary destinations, quaint bars and speakeasies, and clubs for dining, music and dancing. Exploring modern art in brand new museums. Looking upwards to another work of art in that famous and evolving skyline. Or looking down on its streets from the top of the world. Be where New York’s past meets its future, from the Meatpacking District to Tribeca to the cobbled streets of the historic Wall Street district … and Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown.
At the crossroads of Tribeca and the Financial District, Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown gives you NYC travel at its best.
