All Travelers Want for Christmas Is a Stay at One Chelsea Hotel in NYC

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Dec 9, 2014) - When it comes to the holidays, few destinations can match New York City for magical moments. And when it comes to experiencing that magic, few hotels can compete with the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Chelsea. Offering modern guest rooms and suites, a new lobby and an enviable address in the heart of the city, this Herald Square hotel even makes holiday shopping part of the fun with its Macy's Exclusive Experiences Shopping Package.

Guests eager to partake in NYC's holiday season will appreciate staying at this premier destination among hotels near Madison Square Garden. Sporting events like New York Rangers games or college hockey's big Frozen Apple match prove why MSG is a must-see landmark. But the Garden serves as a musical and theatrical venue, too, as evidenced by upcoming performances by Billy Joel (November 25 to December 18) and Andrea Bocelli (December 17). And family-friendly attractions like "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical" remind guests of the spirit of the season.

Beyond Madison Square Garden, visitors will discover plenty of charm in the surrounding Chelsea neighborhood. Ice-skating at the state-of-the-art Chelsea Piers lets people indulge in the season's best sport without suffering the outdoor temperatures. And the nearby High Line park will host a snow sculpt-off every time it snows through February 28^th to put visitors in the festive spirit before visiting one of the premier galleries or restaurants in the area. There is also impeccable shopping in the neighborhood for those last minute Christmas presents.

For those looking to get a head start on holiday shopping, meanwhile, this Chelsea hotel in NYC offers its Macy's Exclusive Experiences Shopping Package. In addition to deluxe hotel accommodations, the package includes a $25 Macy's gift card (good at more than 800 locations across the country), a $50 discount on one's purchase at the Macy's Fur Vault and a complimentary cosmetic or fragrance sample. To equip travelers for a day spent bargain-hunting, the package provides a Macy's tote bag, key chain and umbrella, while a complimentary four-piece box of Frango chocolates lets shoppers end the day on a sweet note.
