If you live near New York City or enjoy being there for the holiday season, then you know the magic of walking into Rockefeller Center when it is decorated for the season. The majestic tree towering over the infamous skating rink all brightly lit with multi colored lights will bring a smile to your face even in the darkest of times. This year was no different.


Our city adventure began by us checking into the stunning and elegant Baccarat Hotel. I had heard so much about this hotel property and could not wait to experience it first hand. Upon entering the lobby, you are immediately struck by the beauty and sophistication of the lounge areas, restaurant and bar. With the high ceilings, gorgeous Baccarat crystal glassware, chandeliers and accent pieces, and Christmas decorations all around, it was a perfect beginning to our Christmas adventure.

After check in, we made our way up to our room after given a thorough explanation of the services available during these pandemic times. Upon entering our room, we were taken aback by the sheer distinguished style of the room. Each area of the room provided its own gift of refined elegance that could only be topped by the classic Baccarat glassware in the bar area.

Although the food and beverage areas within the hotel were not operating due to Covid, there were many other options as far as dining. We took advantage of the breakfast and lunch room service, plus they offer a “mini Bar” menu option that will bring you snacks and drinks throughout the day. Their concierge service is also available to assist in finding any restaurant in the area.


We ventured down to explore the Spa and indoor pool. It felt like an oasis in the middle of mid-town Manhattan. I only wish we would have had time to take advantage of it

It was time to walk 5th Avenue and check out the gorgeous Christmas windows at Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman before seeing the Rockefeller Christmas tree. What a beautiful, chilly night it was! It is important during these challenging times to take time to look up at the twinkling lights and know that there are better times ahead.

If you are interested in booking the Baccarat Hotel, you will receive the following perks if you book through me:

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability (up to Prestige)

  • Continental Breakfast for two guests per bedroom, in the Grand Salon

  • $100 USD Spa de La Mer credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full)

  • $100 USD credit to be applied towards dining at Gabriel Kreuther Restaurant in Bryant Park (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full)

  • Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi

I would like to say a big thank you to Kerry and her team for taking such good care of us during our stay.

I loved reading about those twinkling Christmas lights in New York City and felt transported walking down Fifth Avenue with you, because it reminded me how, in both vibrant streets and academic journeys, patience and clarity matter; balancing joy with discipline is like tackling complex economics theories, much like my own experience seeking Finance assignment service UK to understand risk, return and real-world budgeting in unforgettable ways
