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 fragrant holiday forest filled with 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.
Choose the Girlfriend Getaway package for an indulgent in-suite dining experience and a $100 in-room dining credit. The menu highlights fresh, local ingredients and inventive dishes such as octopus carpaccio with saffron aïoli, almond romesco and squid ink tuile, plus a russet potato white pie featuring gruyère, mozzarella and ricotta, finished with basil pesto and Espelette pepper.

Upgrade to the Goodnight Conrad option to extend the pampering. This add-on includes a Byredo nighttime care kit and Scentered Sleep Therapy Balm, a natural white noise machine for soothing sounds, and silk sleep masks for a restful night. The package also guarantees a 1 p.m. late check-out so you can sleep in and enjoy a relaxed morning.
During the holiday season, guests can add a decorated tree and a delivery of milk and cookies to their suite reservation. On Dec. 23, 24 and 25, Santa will make appearances in the hotel lobby to greet guests, creating a festive atmosphere for visitors of all ages.
