The Wagner at the BatteryvsFour Seasons Hotel New York
The Ritz-Carlton Battery Park in downtown Manhattan faces New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty, while The Four Seasons Hotel New York in Midtown is a few blocks from Central Park. Both properties feature the most luxurious amenities and services available from five-star hotels. While the Four Seasons is closer to fifth avenue shopping and cuisine, The Ritz’s downtown location provides a bit of a respite from all the hustle and bustle, as well as amazing water views.
