Why buy a house in the Midwest when you could just spend two nights at a luxury NYC hotel instead?
The Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side is offering a holiday package that includes a private ice rink, “Nutcracker” performance, and butler for a whopping $175,000 — and that’s actually a discount from last year.
The luxe lodging offered a similar deal in 2019 for $250,000, according to Wealth Magazine.
One-percenters with cash to burn on the “Penthouse Holiday Spectacular” get to stay in the hotel’s palatial 12,000-square-foot, five-bedroom, $75,000-a-night penthouse — which is where Meghan Markle had her baby shower.
Billed as a haven from a Big Apple holiday season placed “temporarily on hold” by the COVID-19 pandemic, the package promises to encompass “all the things we love about a New York City Christmas,” according to a press release.
Guests will have access to a private ice rink overlooking Central Park to “skate with family and friends while sipping hot chocolate under the stars and moon.”
With no “Nutcracker” at Lincoln Center this year, they’ll be treated to a private rendition of the classic holiday ballet from the comfort of their suite, where a Julliard-trained pianist will also be available to serenade them.
To make things even more exclusive, the package includes an after-hours shopping spree at Bergdorf Goodman, a private screening of an unreleased Hollywood blockbuster and family portraits by fashion photographer Alexei Hay, who has shot the likes of Angelina Jolie and Bella Hadid.
A four-course holiday feast will be whipped up by the hotel’s Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and a driver, butler, nanny and massage therapist will also be on hand to attend to the guests’ every whim.
The special offer will be available from Dec. 1 onward.
