New York City is a global hub for culture, dining, and luxury experiences. Whether it’s your first visit or a cherished annual tradition, planning your stay with the expertise of a luxury travel advisor can help you unlock the best of the city. From sophisticated accommodations to exceptional dining and cultural discoveries, here’s how to craft an elegant trip to the Big Apple.
Exceptional Accommodations
Begin your visit by selecting a hotel that perfectly matches your style. We pride ourselves on being the ultimate hotel matchmakers. Whether it's revisiting iconic properties or exploring the newest arrivals, we ensure our recommendations are nothing short of exceptional. For those drawn to timeless elegance, the highly anticipated reopening of the Waldorf Astoria in spring 2025 is a must. After a meticulous renovation, this Park Avenue grande dame has reduced its room count drastically, creating some of Manhattan's most spacious accommodations. As an insider, we were fortunate to get a preview of the renovated Waldorf, and we can confidently say it's going to be a stunning transformation that will delight luxury travelers. As members of Hilton's elite invite-only Hilton for Luxury program, our clients will also enjoy VIP perks like complimentary breakfast, a $100 credit per stay, and potential upgrades.
If your taste leans toward vibrant and artistic luxury, the upcoming Faena New York promises to dazzle when it debuts in spring 2025. Overlooking the High Line in a Bjarke Ingels-designed masterpiece, this boutique gem will feature 120 rooms infused with Latin flair. With General Manager Francois-Olivier Luiggi at the helm - known for his leadership at The Mark and The Carlyle, not to mention his role in opening no less than 19 Four Seasons properties - the Faena will no doubt blend its bold design with impeccable service. Expect standout experiences like a celebrity-chef restaurant and dynamic nightlife. As members of Accor's elite invite-only HERA program, our clients at FAENA will also enjoy VIP perks like complimentary breakfast, a $100 credit per stay, and potential upgrades.
Culinary Excellence
No trip to New York is complete without indulging in its world-renowned dining scene, and we've spent countless hours curating the best experiences for our clients. Some recent experiences that live up to the hype: For a truly remarkable night out, eat at Yoshino, a tough to book one-Michelin-star omakase restaurant led by Chef Tadashi Yoshida that offers impeccable craftsmanship and the finest ingredients flown in from Japan. Don't sleep on the incredible sake pairing - the sommelier is bringing in bottles that you just won't find elsewhere in the USA. For more adventurous foodies, a Queens food tour provides a chance to explore the diverse culinary treasures of the borough, from authentic dim sum to hand-pulled noodles. We fully admit that the offerings on hand in Elmhurst, Flushing, or Jackson Heights are overwhelming, but paired with an expert guide one of the world's most unique and diverse food scenes is at your feet. Whatever your style, our carefully curated food experiences will delight your taste buds and leave you with lasting memories.
Cultural Enrichment
We love to immerse ourselves in New York’s rich history by visiting sites such as the Tenement Museum, which tells the stories of immigrant families who shaped the city’s identity. Its thoughtfully curated exhibits offer a unique glimpse into the lives of early New Yorkers through thematic tours in historic buildings, making every experience truly unique. Whatever your own interests, if you’re seeking a guided exploration of the city’s vibrant neighborhoods and history, your luxury travel advisor can customize tours to fit your needs.
According to McKinsey, New York is expected to exceed pre-pandemic visitor numbers in 2025, but visitor mindsets have shifted. Visitors are now more interested in experiences, and not just the touristy and overcrowded sites. There is an increasing desire for extraordinary, bespoke experiences.
