Experience New York the Wright Way
March 19, 2009
Published: March 19, 2009 / LuxuryTravelMagazine.com
Visit the Guggenheim as it celebrates 50 years, lodge at the historic Waldorf Astoria hotel, enjoy a private reception at Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate, and the Glass House
Now you can experience the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum as Wright could only imagine with Wright Way New York: Guggenheim Celebration. Join in the festivities as the Guggenheim Museum, one of Wright's most iconic designs, celebrates its 50th Anniversary with a spectacular retrospective documenting 50 of Wright's projects including the Home and Studio and the Robie House. The exhibition will focus on how space can function as a social condenser and influence the way we live.
Completed in 1959 in the Upper East Side of Manhattan Island, the heart of New York City, neither Guggenheim nor Wright would live to see the magnificence of the world-renowned museum as Wright exhausted more than 700 sketches and development and construction plans took more than a decade.
While in New York, stay at the luxurious Waldorf Astoria hotel, an Art Deco masterpiece which claimed the title of world's largest hotel when it opened in its current location in 1931. Venture north along the Hudson River and enjoy tours of historic and architecturally significant sites such as Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate, where you'll enjoy a private reception, and Lyndhurst, Americas finest gothic revival house.
Travel to New Canaan, Connecticut for a two hour in-depth tour of Philip Johnsons Glass House, a special opportunity to view this stunning modernist landmark that is already sold out for 2009. Back in the city, explore Radio City Music Hall and its sumptuous Art Deco interiors, marvel at the size and neo-gothic style of St. Patrick's Cathedral, and explore the architecture and design wing of the Modern Museum of Art.
Join this spring excursion to New York from June 6 through 10, 2009. Prices start at $3,295 and include four nights, double occupancy at the luxurious Waldorf Astoria in the heart of Midtown, three lunches and two dinners, all guides and entrance fees and transfers by luxury motor coach.
