Four Seasons NY in jeopardy amid dispute with Beanie Babies owner

The Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts may lose its iconic flagship on Manhattan’s exclusive Billionaire’s Row thanks to an ugly dispute involving the owner of Beanie Babies, The Post has learned.

The luxe 57th Street building, designed by I.M. Pei, has been a Four Seasons branded hotel since it opened 28 years ago with rates so high for that time — at $400 a night — that it quickly became known as the most expensive hotel in NYC. Sources tell The Post that it’s now unclear whether the midtown Manhattan hotel will keep its famous name — thanks to a dispute with the hotel’s owner, Ty Warner, the creator of Beanie Babies, the plush toy that exploded into a cultural phenomenon in the late 1990s.
