The Carlyle is a New York hotel with plenty of understated style. Our image features one of the 73 rooms which feature views of Central Park and the Manhattan Skyline and despite its residential feel it is only minutes on foot from the galleries and boutiques of Madison Avenue. For stays after New Year through to 31 March we can offer a third night free. The Carlyle is one of our favourite Virtuoso friends and so Christina and her team will also provide all the usual Virtuoso benefits. The Carlyle’s Bemelmans Bar is an iconic New York bar and it’s featured in many movies and has been patronised by many famous people. You could be the next.
Vancouver has just had two new hotel openings in the up and coming Parq Vancouver area. Located alongside the BC Place Stadium is the five-star brand JW Marriott as is The Douglas, the latter positioning itself as an ‘edgy’ and fashionable boutique hotel. Both properties are a welcome addition in a city that has gained recent popularity as a stop-over enroute to Europe or New York amongst our clients. Given Vancouver’s location it is a major cruise hub as well and so the current stock of hotel rooms does come under pressure.
Our Client Relationship Manager Marie, recently viewed the Grand Mercure Hotel Wellington located at 345 The Terrace. This property was the original Novotel, for those who can cast their minds back twenty years! The hotel has had a complete ‘make over’ and Marie said its looking fabulous with beautiful décor, a lovely onsite restaurant, pool/ gym and within walking distance to Cuba Street. With rates from $169.00 this is great value and well worth a stay.
