Four Seasons Hotel New York

Rubbing shoulders with some well-heeled neighbours on NYC’s Billionaires’ Row, this Four Seasons is between Park and Madison Avenues in Midtown. Fittingly, given its locale, it contains one of the highest penthouses in the world, with cantilevered glass balconies hanging 52 floors high. Down on ground level, take afternoon tea at Ty Bar or settle in for brunch of chicken and waffles at the Garden (which is actually indoors, but has some pleasing greenery nonetheless).
