  • Bryant Park Winter Village – A short walk from the hotel, this open-air market features artisan stalls, a large skating rink, and festive drinks under the city lights.

  • Rockefeller Center – See the world-famous Christmas tree and watch the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall — two New York traditions that define the season.

  • Fifth Avenue – Stroll through dazzling window displays at Saks, Bergdorf Goodman, and Tiffany & Co., all within a few minutes’ reach.

  • Dyker Heights Lights – Take a cab to Brooklyn’s most famous neighborhood for over-the-top Christmas decorations and glowing streets that rival any movie scene.

Where to Eat, Shop, and Celebrate

After a day of skating, shopping, or sightseeing, return to Park Avenue for dinner at Park Rose — a modern Italian-American restaurant inspired by the flavors of New York and Italy. The menu celebrates seasonality, from handmade pastas and fresh seafood to crisp Roman-style pizzas and warming winter plates.

Head downstairs to Seed Library NYC, our intimate bar created with the team behind London’s acclaimed Seed Library. It’s a quiet, low-lit space for thoughtful cocktails, small plates, and a slower pace — the perfect way to unwind after a full day in the city.

If you’re venturing out, the hotel’s NoMad location offers countless options for festive dining and late-night cocktails. Explore more here.
