Travel: The coolest place to spend Christmas in the city

November 28, 2008

If New York is the coolest, hippest city on the planet, then The Bryant Park Hotel is definitely its most fashionable address, so why not think about taking a trip there soon to experience these pleasures first hand. Rising 25 stories above mid-town Manhattan and housed inside a stunning 1920’s Art Deco building, it blends drop dead gorgeous looks with 5 star attention to detail.

The city of New York and the Bryant Park really come into their own at Christmas time. When the cold wind blows and the snow starts falling, New York is magically transformed into a winter wonderland. And if you want the best place to gaze out over this dazzling metropolis, then why not try one of The Bryant Park’s rooms with a view.

Renowned as a mecca for young Hollywood and leading fashionistas alike this is never more apparent than in the run up to Christmas, when it becomes the place to see and be seen. While many of New York’s leading fashion companies choose The Bryant Park for their holiday parties, the hotel’s world renowned restaurant, Koi, is buzzing from lunchtime to midnight. Meanwhile, the coolest members of New York society flock to the Cellar Bar, where the party starts after work and carries on into the early hours.

Some extensive retail therapy is de rigueur for most at this time of the year. And naturally the hotel that enjoyed a walk on part in blockbuster smash, ‘Sex and the City’, does not disappoint. Situated between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, it’s but a short stroll to such legendary emporiums as Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor.
