The
Mandarin Oriental, New York has launched a Fantastic New York City Waterfalls Package for vacationers traveling to the Big Apple to view
the limited-time spectacular New York City Waterfalls. Not since Central Park’s 2005 Christos Gates installation has New York City featured such
an expansive public art exhibit.
Commissioned by the city’s Public Art Fund, the New York City Waterfalls
lasts until 13 October 2008, allowing travelers
from around the globe ample time to see the massive waterfalls. “It’s a chance for the Public Art Fund to bring art to the city, to make the city
exciting for the people that live here who take great pride in the fact that we are creative…,”
said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a
recent interview with NY 1 News, “And also for the rest of the world it’s great for tourism, it’s great to tell people this is where you should come for
vacation. You can come here, stay in New York, shop, go to theaters and see the greatest exhibit that is going on right now in New York City, the
Waterfalls.”
Legendary Danish artist Olafur Eliasson celebrates the revitalization of New York City’s waterfronts with this spectacular installation, designed to
capture the unusual relationship between metropolitan landscape and raw beauty. Constructed out of traditional building materials, four massive
waterfalls - one each under the famed Brooklyn Bridge, at Brooklyn’s Piers 4 and 5, Pier 35 in Manhattan and on Governor’s Island
- will
captivate visitors’ attention with their powerful cascades of falling water.
The
Fantastic Waterfalls Package rates range from US$ 2,200++ for a Premier Hudson River View Room; to
US$ 2,450++ for a Central Park View Room. A Corner Hudson River View Room with connecting Superior Room
is US$ 3,350++ per night while the Mandarin Executive Suites are
priced at US$ 3,550++. Central Park View Suites are available at USD
4,150++.
The
Mandarin Oriental, New York features 248 guestrooms and suites. Luxurious amenities include Asiate, the hotel’s elegant restaurant; MObar created by
noted interior designer, Tony Chi; the Lobby Lounge with dramatic views of Central Park; a 14,500-square-foot, Five-Star Mandarin Oriental Spa;
and a state-of-the-art fitness center with a 75-foot lap pool. In addition, there is premium meeting and event space, including a 6,000-square-foot
pillar-less ballroom with three walls of windows overlooking Central Park.
Located in Columbus Circle’s Time Warner Center,
the Mandarin Oriental, New York is just steps away from world-class dining,
shopping and entertainment, including the Broadway Theater District, Lincoln Center, Central Park, Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Time Warner
Center’s collection of upscale retail shops and restaurants.
