Nobody does the holiday season quite like New York City. In the heart of it all, THE STAYCATIONERS did more than just dream of a white Christmas––with plenty of bubbly (thanks Mionetto!) and no shortage of sparkle, this is how the crew got into the holiday spirit at Le Méridien. Silent night who?

THE SPOT: Le Méridien New York, Central Park (formerly Viceroy New York) | 120 West 57th Street

THE STATS: 240 rooms, pet-friendly, rooftop bar, great eats at Kingside, hyper-central location steps away from the park, Rockefeller Center, Fifth Ave’s luxury shopping, and more

PERFECT FOR: A holiday staycay of epic proportions

Sometimes, bubbles in your glass just aren’t enough. Dripping in diamonds and gold courtesy of Flont, THE STAYCATIONERS sipped their way through the suite, only to hop in the spacious tub for an evening soak, glass in hand.

While THE STAYCATIONERS could have very well spent the entirety of the evening holed up in their swanky suite, the universe had other plans in store. Upstairs at The Roof, pre-dinner cocktails, wintry vibes, and serious views awaited. *grabs festive dress*

Downstairs at Kingside, share-worthy dishes abound. THE STAYCATIONERS left no fry un-dipped and no glass un-clinked. It was a holiday feast to remember, capped by a celebratory toast in the room––let’s just say these creatures stirred long into the night.

A special thanks to Le Méridien, Mionetto, Flont, and Armarium for making this round possible. Give it up for guest staycationers Sabrina Poon (@stylophyle), Maria Sivakova (@thelittlemodel_), Kelsey Panicco (@bykelseypanicco), and Cat Corcoran (@cat_noel).
