Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown Announces New Artist-in-Residence Program: City of Love – Romantic Captures of New York

Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown announces the launch of its Artist-in-Residence program, a dynamic initiative designed to foster connections with local artists and celebrate New York City’s vibrant creative community. By partnering with talented individuals across various art forms - including culinary arts, photography, literature, and fashion design - the program offers a unique platform for artists to showcase their work within the Hotel.

Beginning in February and just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Hotel invites guests to step into a world of romance through a collaboration with Mark Asuncion, a renowned lifestyle photographer and content creator. The first installment, City of Love – Romantic Captures of New York, is inspired by the spirit of New York City, where iconic streets, hidden gems, and charming cafes create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable love stories. From the timeless cast-iron facades of Soho to the city's most intimate corners, Mark will capture each moment with artistry and elegance. Following the session, a coffee table book will be created, preserving these cherished memories for years to come.

“New York City is full of energy and romance, and I’m excited to capture its essence through the lens of love,” says Mark Asuncion, Photographer and Artist-in-Residence. “Each corner of the city tells a story, and I look forward to helping couples create their own unforgettable moments, preserving them in a way that reflects the magic of this incredible place.”

Inclusions of City of Love – Romantic Captures of New York:

• Up to two guests will receive a 30- or 60-minute session with the photographer
• One hardcover photo album with 20 pages featuring session photos
• Up to 30 digital copies of photographs
• Car service for the duration of the session

“Building on the success of The Edit program, the introduction of the Artist-in-Residence series further underscores our ongoing commitment to celebrate the dynamic culture and creative spirit of New York City,” says Thomas Carreras, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown. “By partnering with exceptional artists such as Mark Asuncion, we’re able to offer our guests an exclusive opportunity to experience the city’s beauty in a completely new and intimate way.”
