New York is the trip Dallas travelers most often plan themselves, and the one where an advisor changes the most. There are nonstop flights from both DFW and Love Field, so getting there is easy; getting the right hotel, the table, and the tickets is where the difference shows.
In a city where rooms are small and expensive, the hotel upgrade is the perk that matters. Through Virtuoso and our hotel programs, a booking at hotels like The Mark, The Carlyle, or the Mandarin Oriental typically adds breakfast, a property credit, and an upgrade when available at the same rate as booking direct. We match the neighborhood to the trip: the Upper East Side for museums, Midtown for Broadway, the West Village and Tribeca for restaurants.
Three or four nights suits a long weekend built around theater and dining; five works for a first visit. Fall and the December holidays are the busiest and most expensive, and the best hotels sell out early for December, so we recommend booking by early fall. Our New York advisor guide on the blog covers dining, shows, and private access in more detail.
For the hotel upgrade, which is worth more in Manhattan than almost anywhere, plus access to hard-to-book restaurants, shows, and private museum visits, and someone to call when plans change. For most hotel stays it costs nothing extra.
Many of the city's best, including The Mark, The Carlyle, Mandarin Oriental, and Park Hyatt, participate in Virtuoso or our hotel programs. Amenities typically include breakfast, a credit, and an upgrade when available.
September through November for weather and fall color, April through June for spring, and December for the holidays. December and fall are the busiest, so book the hotel early.
Three to four nights for a long weekend around one or two interests, such as theater and dining. First-time visitors who want museums, neighborhoods, and shows do well with five.
