If you’re ready to reconnect with friends this holiday season, head to Conrad New York Downtown. The hotel lobby has been transformed into a festive forest filled with fragrant, decorated Virginia spruce trees. Start your visit at the ATRIO Barista Station in the lobby, where complimentary hot spiced apple cider is available through Dec. 3 and hot chocolate is offered Dec. 22–24.
The Girlfriend Getaway package is designed for a relaxed, luxurious stay. Enjoy a private dinner in your suite—pajamas and pearls optional—plus a $100 in-room dining credit. The menu highlights fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with dishes such as octopus carpaccio with saffron aïoli, almond romesco and squid ink tuile, and a russet potato white pie topped with gruyère, mozzarella, ricotta, basil pesto and Espelette pepper.

For a soothing end to the evening, add the Goodnight Conrad option. Unwind with conversation about favorite shows, then drift off wearing silk sleep masks while a natural white noise machine plays softly. The package includes a Byredo nighttime care kit and a Scentered Sleep Therapy Balm. To ensure a leisurely morning, the hotel guarantees a late check-out at 1 p.m.
Holiday guests can also request a decorated tree delivered to their suite, along with a milk-and-cookies delivery. On Dec. 23, 24 and 25, Santa will make appearances in the hotel lobby to greet guests.

The hotel is also hosting Candle Garden Workshops in collaboration with The Candle Garden. Through Dec. 30, guests can join pop-up classes to learn candle making and create two 9-ounce soy candles in a chosen scent, with guidance from experienced instructors. Finished candles will be ready to take home the following day. Check the hotel’s website for workshop dates, availability and the schedule for Santa’s lobby visits.
