Optional activities

Walk with a Belgian

Together with Patrick van Rosendaal and the BENY team, Connections organizes city walking tours in New York every day. Patrick is a Belgian New Yorker, trend watcher and enthusiastic guide who’ll be happy to share his passion for New York with you. We’ll treat you to an unforgettable stroll through Manhattan or Brooklyn!

BE NY Tours
The Midtown Manhattan tour takes you to the main hotspots in the heart of Manhattan, ideal for a first visit (Monday + Friday). NoHo, SoHo, Little Italy and China Town uncovers hidden gems for you in Lower Manhattan (Thursday). Downtown to Brooklyn takes you from the financial heartbeat of Wall Street to Williamsburg, the trendiest district in Brooklyn (Tuesday + Saturday). The Meatpacking District, Chelsea & Hudson Yards tour takes you from the old warehouses via the High Line to the brand-new penthouses (Wednesday).

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

The not-to-be-missed novelty in New York is undoubtedly SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. A platform at a height of 310 m may not be exceptional in Manhattan. What is unique is Kenzo Digital's interactive art installation SUMMIT AIR, with glass and mirrors above, beside and below you.

Daredevils step onto the glass ledges above Madison Avenue in SUMMIT LEVITATION. In the AFFINITY space with silver balloons, your experience will be playful and interactive. Go a little higher still from the 91st to the 93rd floor and step outside onto the terrace. In clear weather, you can see as far as 100 km.

Evening cruise on the Hudson River

Experience the magic of an evening cruise on the Hudson River, where you'll be enveloped by a gentle sea breeze and admire the magnificent spectacle of the illuminated skylines of Manhattan, New Jersey and Brooklyn. This unique experience takes on its full meaning in the golden hour, when the evening sun bathes the surroundings in a warm glow.

The magic continues as you sail under the impressive BMW bridges (Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg), each with its own architectural splendor that is even more impressive at night. The return to port, in the lively Midtown district, adds an extra touch of relaxation and satisfaction to this two-hour cruise, departing daily at 7 p.m.

Civilian

The buzzing neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, close to Times Square and just far enough from the twinkling lights, is now home to CIVILIAN. This brand new hotel immerses you in the atmosphere of theaters with special lighting, stage curtains and raw industrial materials that refer to the backstage. The rooms are also bathed in the theater theme. As its name suggests, the Cozy Queen or Twin is small in size and comfortable (cosy) at the same time. The Spacious King or Double are, as you will have understood, more spacious. CIVLIAN is distinguished above all by the experience it reserves for its guests. You only pay for what you consider important. The base with a bed for the night, no frills. During your entire stay, no one will do the cleaning but if necessary, an application allows you to order shampoo or clean towels. If you prefer to find a shiny bathroom and a made bed every day, add housekeeping. Complete your stay with daily breakfast, early check-in or late check-out. WiFi is included, but you have to pay extra for super-fast WiFi. You can even get a day pass to the TMPL around the corner for next to nothing, a wellness center with a 25m saltwater pool, sauna and fitness room. A mixture of art, music and theatre, CIVILIAN blends harmoniously with the big names in Manhattan's creative and theatrical scene. In 2022, the following will gradually open: a restaurant, a secret garden accessible by a retracted entrance and a luxurious lounge where you can have breakfast, work or relax, and a rooftop lounge with a beautiful view.
