    The iconic Four Seasons New York hotel finally set a date for its long-awaited reopening — after a bitter battle that left the Midtown tower empty for four years.

    The Art-Deco hotel along Billionaires Row at 57 East 57th Street — owned by Beanie Babies mogul Ty Warner — announced Wednesday that reservations were open for guests to arrive beginning Nov. 15, according to the company.

    The much-delayed reopening – reported exclusively by The Post last month – includes the addition of a new Italian restaurant called The Garden, which features a “forest-like” setting and overlooks the lobby, according to the property’s website.

    The Ty Warner Bar, which first opened in 2015, is also poised to serve drinks again.

    “As this beloved Hotel enters a new era in its celebrated history … (we) proudly welcome back our loyal guests,” Four Seasons president of the Americas Antoine Chahwan said in a statement, “and introduce a new generation to the endless opportunities for memorable New York City moments at every turn.”

    For the first time, the property will also debut extended-stay accommodations, including one- to three-bedroom apartments, the hotel said.

    It’s not clear whether the new rental units will include the notorious Ty Warner Penthouse — a 4,300-square foot spread on the 52nd floor with panoramic views of the city which had been advertised as high as $50,000 a night.

    The 52-story tower designed by IM Pei — once known as the city’s priciest hotel — was shuttered during the pandemic and remained closed as the reclusive Warner tangled over fees with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, the management company that operates the swanky chain.

    The hotel had made earlier promises to reopen, in 2022 and 2023 and even last month, but each time delays were blamed on renovations that were taking longer than expected.

    Michal Dedera, a Four Seasons veteran, was named general manager.
