Luxury Holidays At The Plaza, A Fairmont Managed Hotel

The Plaza, A Fairmont Managed Hotel has been welcoming guests – including royalty, presidents and film stars – since 1907. Designated a landmark building in 1969, this glamorous hotel has retained its original opulence, particularly in the public areas, including the Grand Ballroom, The Palm Court restaurant and Terrace Room, which have been restored to their former glory. Meanwhile, guest rooms and a series of suites, including Legacy Suites and One-of-a-Kind Suites – which are some of the largest of any New York hotel – are sumptuous and elegant, with décor inspired by the Beaux Arts period and technology including in-room iPads to control everything from ordering room service, to printing boarding passes. All guests enjoy a Clefs d’Or concierge service, but those residing in a suite have access to the ‘white glove’ butler service. Just steps from Central Park, all the Fifth Avenue shops and the many attractions of New York, this timeless luxury hotel is a New York legend.

Shopaholics will head for the exclusive shops along Fifth Avenue, as well as famous department stores, such as Bloomingdales and Macy's. The adventurous may enjoy taking a helicopter tour to see Manhattan from above, flying over the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. And, no visit would be complete without ascending to the top of the Empire State Building. Alternatively, take a stroll through Central Park or down to Greenwich Village and enjoy lunch in a streetside café. In the evening, see a show on Broadway, dine in one of the countless restaurants, or dance the night away at one of the city's famous 'hot-spots'.

Shopping

New York City is a shopaholic’s dream, with shops in Times Square open until the early hours of the morning for late-night splurges. The one and only Bergdorf Goodman, a super-chic department store housed in a former Vanderbilt mansion, is the place to come for couture and fresh-off-the-runway style, while the Meatpacking District and SoHo are the places to be for boutiques and one-of-a-kind delights. Next, make a stop at the one of the most famous diamond shops in the world, Tiffany & Co. – even if you aren’t in the mood to buy, go to marvel at the spectacular yellow-hued Tiffany Diamond, unearthed in 1877 by the company’s founder, Charles Louis Tiffany.

Shopping
Art and Museums

The Met Fifth Avenue is the largest museum in the United States and one of the most frequently visited in the world, ‘The Met’ houses a collection of more than two-million works, spanning over five-thousand years. Exhibitions change regularly, but each one offers a fascinating insight into culture, history and religion across the world in the form of beautifully preserved artworks and artefacts. On Fridays, the museum is open until 9pm for concerts, tours, discussions and wine-tastings, while EmptyMet Tours can be arranged before the museum opens its doors to the public for an intimate tour through the galleries. If your passion is fashion, the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art has a dedicated display of costume through the ages, while The American Museum of Natural History offers an interesting journey into the marvels of nature, our planet and conservation.

Art and Museums
Parks and Zoos

Despite being a veritable concrete jungle, New York City has plenty of oases to seek out. Central Park needs no introduction, with countless events and activities held over summer, whether rowing around the lake, catching an outdoor concert, taking a traditional horse-drawn carriage ride or dining at the renowned Tavern on the Green Restaurant. In the Bronx, you will also find the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden. Located adjacent to each other, families will love the ‘Treetop Adventure Climb and Zipline’, meeting wild animals and trekking through the trees, while the botanical garden takes on a spectacular appearance across the seasons with colourful plants, petals and Victorian glasshouse making for very pretty pictures.

Parks and Zoos
Sports and Events

New York City features some of the United States’ most impressive arenas and stadiums. Sports fans will rejoice here, with two major league baseball teams – the New York Yankees and the New York Mets – basing their home grounds in the city. See the Americana in action at the Yankee Stadium, with games typically running from April to September. You can also catch a game of basketball from the New York Knicks or ice hockey from the New York Rangers at Madison Square Gardens, along with New York’s biggest music events in the mammoth-sized arena.

Sports and Events
Broadway

Comprising 41 professional theatres, the Broadway district is considered the jackpot for the United States’ aspiring performers and a hallmark of quality for those looking to enjoy the finest of the American stage. There are long-standing favourites, Tony Award-winners,musicals and quirky comedies to take your pick from on any given week, making for a perfect way to spend the evening in New York City. Allow us to arrange your tickets in advance and prepare your pre-show dinner reservations to enjoy Broadway at its best.

Broadway
Top of the Rock

The Rockefeller Center is one of the most popular stops for visitors to New York City. The plaza is home to one of the world’s most famous public ice rinks, NBC television studios and a number of shops and restaurants, plus Radio City Music Hall is just around the corner. The Rockefeller Observation Deck is, perhaps, the best place to see the city if you want a view of the Empire State Building and VIP tickets can be purchased. Make sure you also stop for a drink at Bar 65, an iconic institution opened at the end of the Prohibition era, where top mixologists shake and stir up phenomenal cocktails.

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

The beacon of American freedom, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island is the fascinating centre of New York’s history, as the world’s cultural melting pot. From Battery Park, take a ferry to visit the iconic ‘Lady Liberty’, who welcomed millions of hopeful immigrants over the centuries, before your second stop at Ellis Island, where the moving Immigration Museum allows you to walk in the footsteps of those who arrived for a new life a century ago, including Bob Hope and Albert Einstein.

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island
Empire State Building

Once the tallest skyscraper in the world, the Empire State Building is the most characteristic figure in the NYC skyline. Open from dawn until the early hours of the morning, you can watch the sun both rise and set over this magical city. It’s not just about the views, though – take the time to appreciate the magnificent Art Deco lobby and learn about its fascinating history or head out to the sidewalk and admire the spectacular illuminations from below.
