A Very Lowell Holiday experience includes custom, luxe decor and a personal in-room Christmas tree. What’s more, after the wood-burning fireplace is hand-lit by a Fireplace Butler (yes, there is such a thing), guests choose from a selection of essential oils to drop into the fire for an enhanced sensory experience. Once the fire is roaring, change into the hotel’s signature pajamas and settle into an armchair with a soft alpaca throw and a book from the in-room library.
The stay also features a bottle of Champagne and holiday treats upon arrival; holiday stockings for adults and children; a welcome letter from Santa Claus to each child; milk, cookies and carrots to set out for Santa and his reindeer; daily American breakfast for up to four guests; one holiday afternoon tea service in the Pembroke Room; a choice of Christmas Eve dinner in Majorelle or Christmas Day lunch in The Pembroke Room; tickets to Wollman Skating Rink for the family; and a late checkout at 2 p.m. Rates start at $3,900 per night, excluding taxes and surcharges, and must be booked for a minimum of two nights starting Dec. 23 or Dec. 24. For more information check out the website.
Have yourself a merry little, stress-free, indulgently pampered Christmas.
