Embracing the Cherry Blossom Season

With Central Park as the Five Star hotel’s iconic front yard, there’s no better place to make home base than right at 50 Central Park South. For those looking for prime viewing areas, guests are encouraged to use the Cherry Blossom audio walking guide, curated by the Concierge team. After strolling through the park, the hotel’s Spring Afternoon Tea ($65 per person) is the perfect complement to a spring awakening. Featuring a Cherry Blossom Green Tea, the afternoon is complemented by an assortment of savory sandwiches and delectable desserts. For a little more rejuvenation, La Prairie is offering a special Cherry Blossom Pedicure ($75 / 120 minutes) and for those looking for a seat at the bar, the Cherry Blossom cocktail is a refreshing spring cocktail, featuring an edible flower.

Give the Gift of Relaxation This Mother’s Day

For those seeking a sophisticated outing with mom, La Prairie at The Ritz-Carlton Spa allows for an indulgent spa escape with the “Mom & Me” package. Expertly tailored with rejuvenation in mind, the pair can choose from two treatments – either a 60-minute Signature La Prairie Facial or a 60-minute Swedish Massage.
