We love it when old becomes new again, and the historic Carlton Hotel in New York, NY has just the ticket! They have just unveiled three themed specialty suites paying tribute to the exciting past of both the hotel and the city that has been its home for over 100 years.
Designed by W+CO Design Studio, the three suites are a fun homage (we are suckers for a good theme!). The Broadway Diva Suite brings us back to New York’s Golden Age of Broadway, with a diva-approved massive dressing room, mirrors, playbills, and sumptuous bedding, all to meet the high demands of a theatrical leading lady. Because having an old Hollywood wedding isn’t enough, your bridal suite should match!
The Speakeasy Suite is all about secrets and intrigue. Designed like a Prohibition Era hideaway, it even has a hidden back room! The dark wood paneling, period photos of flappers and gangsters all give it an authentic 1920′s air. Vintage wedding anyone?
And the Terrace Suite is like a breath of fresh air from the metal and concrete of the city. With organic materials like a grass cloth wall and ginkgo flower images, this suite offers a relaxing escape, complete with a private terrace and a stunning view of the Empire State Building (let’s not forget the romantic overhead string lighting too).
Now you can coordinate your destination wedding theme with your wedding night suite! You can never go too far…the only difficult decision now will be which suite to stay in first! For more information, check out The Carlton Hotel.
Ready to daydream in the destination of Capri? Uh, yes please. Start your weekend early with a little honeymoon inspiration before you book your next trip. We’re taking you to
A perfect hideout for honeymooners, the villa is surrounded by lush gardens, a fountain-clad pool, spectacular views of the Gulf of Naples and all the privacy this type of holiday demands. And to make it easy for newlyweds, your villa hosts have launched a honeymoon menu just for two. A four night package in Spring and Summer, your stay will come complete with breakfast on your terrace, welcome drinks, champagne to celebrate, fresh flowers in your room handpicked from their garden, a three-course lunch for two, private chauffeur-driven arrival or departure transfers, and even a half-day excursion by private speed boat to get out an experience the island from its bright blue waters. Cruise down the Amalfi Coast to Positano and back for the day – just like in the movies.
Upon arrival, your hotel room will be as unique as the two of you. Each space is individually decorated with the common thread of the art (each guest quarters boasts a statement piece to enjoy). But have no fear, this 19th century inspiration comes equipped with all the modern day luxuries we just can’t seem to live without. iPod docks, flat screen TVs (though we hope they never get turned on), wireless internet, a gym and room service are all awaiting you. No need to sacrifice the finer things here!
When you venture to Capri, there is much to do beyond the walls of your new home. Begin your day with breakfast in bed or on your private patio, then walk to town for some alfresco dining and designer shopping and then perhaps a trip down the hillside for some swimming and a must-do visit to the island’s famous
