Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown Celebrates Second Anniversary

Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown today achieves a major milestone and celebrates its second anniversary. Since opening in September 2016, the 100th hotel in Four Seasons global portfolio has become the cornerstone of Lower Manhattan and the Downtown community. Setting the standard for other hotels to follow, this iconic property managed to achieve both the AAA Five Diamond Rating within the first year and the Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Rating within the first 18 months of operation, an achievement almost unheard of in the industry.

More than nine years in the making, Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown was conceived by the visionary downtown developer Larry Silverstein and famed architect Robert A.M. Stern. Originally conceived in 2007, construction on the 82-storey tower officially began in December 2013 and on September 19, 2016 the Hotel and Residences opened to much acclaim.

To celebrate the second year anniversary, Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown has unveiled numerous new initiatives and celebratory moments from now through until the end of September 2018.

Launch of Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown Spotify Playlist

Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown today unveils a dedicated Spotify Playlist inspired by the energy and vibe of Downtown New York. The newly released playlist features tracks by various artists from around the world, and is currently being featured throughout the Hotel. Designed to mirror the sentiment of the city, this dedicated playlist will refresh monthly breathing new life into the lobby and creating a different mood each and every time. Developed by Thomas Carreras, General Manager, this is yet another first for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and another initiative that allows guests to recreate their hotel experience at home. To hear the dedicated Spotify Playlist, click here.

Carreras is also responsible for the design and creation of four distinctive lobby scents that he designed in partnership with scent specialists Air Aroma soon after the Hotel opening in 2016. The lobby scents represent the four distinctive seasons in New York, combining the scent and ambience of New York City throughout the year. Due to the popularity of these scents, in spring 2018 the Hotel then parlayed the four signature lobby scents and the ever-green Spa scent into a Signature Candle Collection, which is available for purchase from The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown. These branded candles allow guests to take home a piece of their New York experience and reminisce over the memories of their stay, long after their trip has ended and they have returned home.
