NYC, NY: CENTRAL PARK

We LOVE New York.


Although the Statue of Liberty and Times Square are iconic landmarks of this amazing city, leafy, lovely Central Park is the true heart of the Big Apple. This massive green space stretches 51 blocks through the middle of Manhattan covering 843 acres. Central Park is full of attractions, from meadows to sprawling waters, gardens and unique bridges, music and performance centers, educational facilities, classical architecture and so much more for you to explore. Surrounding the park are some of the finest five-star hotels, shopping, cultural attractions and restaurants. Planning your next luxury vacation to New York, New York is a snap with these Luxury Travel Consultants, so let’s go to the “city that never sleeps”!


Baccarat Hotel New York

Central Park’s most spectacular entrance is Grand Army Plaza at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, where a gold equestrian statue of General Sherman overlooks the square. A few blocks away is the stunning Baccarat Hotel New York located across the street from the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) on 53rd Street and 5th Avenue. This Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond luxury hotel is modeled on an elegant “Parisian hôtel particulier” and offers up 113 sumptuous hotel rooms and suites. The entire outside of the Baccarat Hotel is encased in a sparkling prism glass facade—crystal work that resonates the French crystal maker’s vision of elegance and artisanship. This beautiful property’s prestigious address offers access to the city’s finest shopping, dining and cultural venues. Located in the hotel is the Spa de la Mer, first of its kind in the United States by the exclusive, celeb endorsed skincare brand with truly custom treatments featuring Le Mer’s proprietary formulas based on bio-fermentation. We would be remiss if we didn’t recommend you visit MOMA which showcases examples of modern art from the late 19th Century until today. The MOMA’s architecture and galleries are truly a stunning work of art!


The Carlyle

The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel has been a timeless classic since its debut in 1930. This landmark New York hotel is known for its refined style and old-world charm, providing a home away from home to the world's most discerning guests. Each of the 190 rooms and suites are individually and elegantly decorated with views of Central Park. We love the Carlyle’s residence rentals which range from single rooms to lavish penthouses and four-bedroom suites. Here you can find full kitchens, modern conveniences and hotel services for a family vacation or extended stays in the city. Superbly positioned on chic Madison Avenue, The Carlyle is surrounded by the galleries and designer boutiques of New York's exclusive Upper East Side. You are literally minutes from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Whitney, and the Frick, what is commonly referred to as Museum Mile. Head to Central Park to fall down a rabbit hole while you visit the iconic Alice in Wonderland bronze sculpture located at East 74th Street. Alice is surrounded by the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, and a few of her other friends from the classic 1865 novel by English author Lewis Carroll. WIT can arrange a visit to see Alice in Wonderland in a horse and carriage, on a bike, pedicab or walking tour. Upon your return, let us book you a time at the Sisley-Paris Spa, one of the most prestigious cosmetic brands built on phyto-cosmetology. Sisley offers effective, highly performing methods of treatment for all skin types. Before stepping out, go for a blowout, mani/pedi, and so much more at the exclusive Yves Durif Salon at The Carlyle. Featuring Celebrity Hairstylist Yves Durif, here you can receive a range of luxury pampering and primping seven days a week.
