International luxury travel network Virtuoso® has announced the winners of this year's coveted Best of the Best Awards at the 29th annual Virtuoso Travel Week conference, honoring Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown as the Best Virtuoso Newcomer. Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown received its award during the Virtuoso Travel Week's Hotels & Resorts Dinner, 16 August at the Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The accolade is truly an honor, given that only a very small fraction of the network's 1,700 partners were recognized at Virtuoso Travel Week. 

“Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown demonstrates a superior commitment to product excellence, expert knowledge and outstanding client service, all qualities highly valued by this network,” said Albert Herrera, senior vice president, Global Product Partnerships for Virtuoso. “This award places Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown in a very exclusive category, as Virtuoso's most celebrated partners are recognized as leaders within the industry. Their contributions and close relationships with our advisors enable Virtuoso to maintain its status as the world's most exceptional luxury and experiential travel network.”

“I am thrilled and delighted to accept this award on behalf of our amazing team who work extremely hard every day to go above and beyond for our guests. This achievement is a testament to their dedication and passion for our hotel and for the Four Seasons brand,” says Peter Humig, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown.
