精心设计，最佳搭配
纽约市中心四季酒店是一座专为酒店而设计的建筑，建筑师罗伯特斯坦恩 Robert A.M. Stern 和投资方密切合作，从2011年起拆除原址旧楼重新设计建造了这个全新的酒店建筑，这在纽约如此拥挤的市中心几乎是难以想象的事情。这个花了四年多时间设计建造的新酒店直到2016年才开业，外观简约而传统，很快融入周边环境，内部则简约现代，尽显低调奢华，24层高的崭新酒店大楼就这样静悄悄隐于世贸中心圈的闹市之中。而引入著名米其林三星大厨Walfgang Puck旗下的CUT餐厅临街经营，被黑色统治的餐厅和一众黑衣帅哥服务员不仅接待外来客人，也为酒店住客提供早餐的精选Set Menu服务，摆足了高大上的酒店身份。
室内设计，再一次帮助四季酒店，轻而易举地将客源锁定在高端的商务散客和高消费的小众旅行者中间。走进酒店大门，左侧是酒吧和餐厅，右侧则是从接待台到客房电梯的一条清晰的动线。舒适的前厅，及时出现供人欣赏的艺术品，错落有致的接待台，轻松摆布的沙发休息区，安得其所的每一件家具，以及从接待台经过一个半弧形走廊到达的那个隐在大堂里面突然高大起来的电梯前厅，都使客人好几次眼前一亮，既感到顺畅，又获得惊喜。
纽约市中心四季酒店，把公共流动空间的面积压缩出来尽可能让给最重要的身心归宿：“客房”。189间宽大客房，其中还有位于不同楼层的28间套房占据了酒店百分之七十左右的使用面积，不拘一格的多种房型布局使客房空间显得更为宽阔和舒适，亮灰色浅橄榄绿色柠檬黄色细条纹图案的搭配勾起了当代人审美期待的某一组神经，十分赏心悦目。在客房中，家具和灯饰的精心设计，沙发面料和窗帘靠包的精选，特别是每间客房里那个多功能酒吧柜的独特设计既丰富实用又颇有创新，几乎成为客房中最惹人关注的主角。整个客房设计，好像专为满足四季酒店专属客人的某种期待，也好像是在向来自亚洲中东欧洲和美国各地的熟客新客问好。就像设计师雅布和普歇尔伯格讲解这个设计时所说的：奢华是体现在细节上的，现代感要通过丰富的层次演绎出来，而这个设计中的复杂和优雅就是为了契合四季酒店的品牌。
的确，这种干净优雅充满细节的艺术风格，这种大堂较小，客房很大，餐厅很酷，设计很细的“最佳搭配”，堪称北美四季酒店中最值得关注的新样板，也是现代都市酒店简奢高雅的榜样。总经理 Thomas Carreras 先生介绍说，酒店开业后到现在，赢得了四季最忠诚高端客人的喜爱，几乎是他们到纽约的旅居必选，来自中国大陆和香港的高端客人也在逐渐增多。近二十年来，四季酒店品牌发展迅猛，但高端市场的选择和高雅风格的定位却越来越明确，坚定而毫不动摇。
对国际旅游住宿市场来说，最高端的客人只是一小部分，但对四季酒店来说，则是百分之百。纽约市中心四季酒店与日本京都四季酒店的开业都在同一年，《酒店精品》分别去访问时都听到“全球第100家四季”的说法。无论如何，2016年是四季酒店进入百家全盛期的标志性的一年，也是全球单一豪华品牌酒店拥有百家店的元年。“纽约新四季”，一个精心打造的现代酒店作品，见证了这个时刻。
