Virgin Holidays - New York Holidays

LONDON, December 20, 2010 - New York hotels (
www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/usa/holidays/new_york/new_york/hotels.aspx)
are an experience in diversity, with plenty on offer. From the
uptown glitz of the Upper West Side to the downtown bohemian chic of the West
Village, from Chinatown to Little Italy, from Murray Hill to Midtown, you are
presented with entirely different sights, sounds and even smells in each
neighbourhood.

When it comes to things to do, you can expect to find out what 'spoilt
for choice' really means, you might not be able to fit everything in on your
New York Holiday! From the architecture, the history, the museums and
galleries, to the clubs, theatres, restaurants and bars… weekend breaks in
New York tend to be busy! Make a vague plan of what you want to see, but
beware - the fizzing energy of Manhattan is bewitching, and it could carry
you completely off course. Just make sure you see the best sights, like the
Empire State Building with its amazing views, and leave plenty of time for
the fabulous shopping during your New York Holiday! A New York holiday
without a trip to Macy's just wouldn't be right.

The Helmsley Park Lane Hotel New York (
www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/usa/holidays/new_york/new_york/helmsley_park_lane/)
has a great location on Central Park South. Many rooms at
The Helmsley Park Lane Hotel New York overlook that lovely green expanse.
There's continental dining with more amazing park views in the restaurant,
and martinis in the wonderfully clubby Harry's Bar are a great way to start
the evening. The great location of this hotel means it's the perfect place to
explore the best of New York. The Helmsley Park Lane Hotel New York is only 5
blocks north of the Museum of Modern Art and 5 blocks west of the famous
Bloomingdale's to do all your shopping.

It's a bit quieter at the Hotel Beacon New York (
www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/usa/holidays/new_york/new_york/helmsley_park_lane/)
in this desirable Upper West Side location than in Midtown
Manhattan. The famous Lincoln Center is only a short walk away, together with
Central Park, American Museum of Natural History and Rose Center for Earth
and Space, and a clutch of off-Broadway theatres. The rooms at the Hotel
Beacon New York tend to be bigger than in the centre of Manhattan so you get
more for your money. Rooms at the Hotel Beacon New York also come complete
with everything you need to fix yourself some breakfast, as our American
friends would say.
