The Rates at Four Seasons Hotel New York

"But before booking, check the rates at the Waldorf-Astoria (more historic) or the Mandarin Oriental (better gym)"

"The Ty Warner Suite on the 52nd floor is the most expensive accommodation in the city at around 50 G's a night, but comes with 24-hour butler service, multiple cantilevered glass balconies (said to be the highest in the world), unlimited Champagne, caviar and massage, and a chauffeured Rolls Royce Phantom"

"Fifty-two stories high, the hotel has 368 rooms with views overlooking the midtown skyline (if you're facing south) and Central Park (to the north); the higher you go, the better and more expensive the vantage point"

"Sure, it's outrageously expensive, but you get a fair amount of bang for your buck, including stellar service, an imposing lobby done in marble and blond wood, and a well-connected concierge who can get reservations for most of New York's hot tables"

"Pei is "exceptional in every way", from the "classical, modernist" decor to the "impeccable" staff providing "old-world, first-class treatment"; the "stunning", high-tech rooms are "huge" ("you could live in the bathroom alone") and offer "beautiful" views of the city and Central Park, while the "awesome" amenities include an "excellent" restaurant, full-service spa and "grand" public areas -- the total package is "expensive", but fans say the "one-of-a-kind experience" is "worth every dollar"
