At the newly opened Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel, a unique Haute Handbag and Hotel getaway offers a night in the property’s stunning Empire Suite along with an atelier tour and a personal consultation with celebrated handbag designer Anthony Luciano. Luciano, a Fashion Institute of Technology graduate, collects vintage handbag clasps, rare frames, and distinctive adornments from around the world, then creates bespoke handbags for women and men that are true portable works of art.
The city escape also includes a dinner for two with Luciano in the hotel’s gastropub Rock & Reilly’s, lobster Benedict for two prepared en suite by the hotel’s chef, and arrival amenities featuring a bottle of Charles Heidsieck Champagne and Sterling caviar. Handbag pricing, which starts at $1,500, is not included in the package, but Luciano will collaborate closely with interested guests to design a custom piece available for purchase. Nightly rates for the stay begin at $3,499, based on double occupancy and excluding alcohol and gratuities.
The Renaissance New York Midtown is located on 35th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, within easy reach of Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. This offering combines luxury accommodations, personalized fashion craftsmanship, and curated dining for an elevated New York city experience.
