The real highlight of the Four Seasons New York won’t come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the Four Seasons brand: the service. Every staff member we interacted with not only called us by name, but was friendly & went out of the way to be helpful. When Joe, the bellhop, noticed us exploring the lobby shortly after our arrival, he took the time to point out the different restaurants & bar options. Tina, at the concierge desk, didn’t balk at the challenge of finding us a “perfect, hidden, hole-in-the-wall jazz club in the Village” – we never would have discovered Smalls without her & I think we can both say it’s one of our new favorite places in the city. Despite being a busy Easter weekend, where the hotel was booked full with guests from around the world, the staff made us feel like we were the most important ones staying there.
The word perfection is sometimes over used in society, & definitely over used in travel writing. But it was the only word on my mind while watching my favorite city in the world wake up on a spring Saturday morning, from my perch on the window bench in our room.
