The Four Seasons Ty Warner Penthouse

30 November 2008

New York New York, big city of dreams. We've all heard that line before. And if you've ever ventured into Manhattan, the grandiose displays of ultra-luxurious hotels and mega-expansive buildings do look somewhat like a dream.

On the “Luxist List,” a well-regarded poll of the world's most expensive and elegant places to stay, the Ty Warner penthouse tops the 10-most list at number-one. Available at the Four Seasons in Manhattan, the Ty Warner room is an insanely popular draw. However, more people like to talk about it than purchase a night's stay in the posh penthouse. Ty Warner is the CEO of Ty Inc., creator of the Beanie Babies and owner of the Four Seasons. His estimated net worth is around $6-billion.

The Ty Warner Penthouse cost $50-million to construct, and was designed by acclaimed architect I.M. Pei, Peter Marino, and Ty Warner even lent a helping hand. The breathtaking views of Manhattan are literally indescribable.

The suite is so posh, in fact, that you can't even view the room's entrance unless you take the private elevator to the top floor - which will never happen unless you drop the fee. It's not just located on the 52nd floor of the Four Seasons - it takes up the entire floor. It is beautifully decorated with commissioned artwork, hand-crafted furniture, an enormous library with its own grand piano, and it even has a waterfall in the “Zen” room: a place to simply relax.

The Ty Warner room also boasts an infinity soaking tub that overlooks Central Park, a flat screen television that looks more like a movie screen, a fireplace, huge open floor plans with marble, granite, gold, and other expensive materials, and guests have full access to spa treatments, a personal trainer and a private butler who are all on-call 24/7.

While you're staying in the room, you also receive your own private chauffer who will take you around the town in a Maybach or Rolls Royce. You're also reserved a seat at the hotel's 5-star L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon restaurant.

This spacious penthouse isn't for one guest with an affinity with elbow room. The Ty Warner room has nine separate rooms. The huge bay windows, vaulted ceilings and skylights all work to give this room a more spacious feel. Even though it's already huge, the layout makes it feel like the inside of a baseball stadium.

The living and dining area walls are inlaid with countless pieces of mother of pearl, and the Deborah Thomas cut-glass chandelier is something out of an 18th century French ballroom. The master bedroom has a Thai canopy bed threaded with gold, and four French doors open up to reveal a look at Central Park that you've never seen before.

The breakfast room is furnished with a LaLanne tree table, and the doors open to another large balcony above the park. The oversized dressing room, gleaming onyx floor, glass rain shower, radiant heated floorings, and sinks that were carved from a solid block of rock crystal work to round out the room's lavish appeal. The Ty Warner penthouse can be yours for a night for $34,000.
