Tis The Season for the Holiday Packages in New York City

NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- No city does the holidays like New York City and to encourage experiencing the special magic that only the Big Apple can pull off every December, the Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan will unwrap the Tis The Season Package.   Available from December 18 through 26, the Tis The Season holiday package at the Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan will gift participants with expansive breakfast buffet daily at the hotel's Brasserie 1605 overlooking Times Square and with WiFi for the duration of the stay.  And for those in need of last minute holiday shopping opportunities (or who want to take even better advantage of the post-Thanksgiving-pre-Christmas deals), the package includes 10 percent privileges at three of New York City's most iconic retailers – Bloomingdale's and Macy's - and at JR Music World, one of the city's leading purveyors of the most au courant electronics, as well as the largest retailer of recorded music in the region).

Located in the heart of Times Square, the Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan is an ideal base for taking in the delights of New York City in its holiday guise.  The fabled Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is just two blocks away, with the equally legendary holiday windows at Saks Fifth Avenue only one block further.  The always memorable holiday displays at Barney's, Bloomingdale's, Lord  & Taylor and Macy's are very easily accessible by bus or subway (they don't call Times Square "The Crossroads of the World" for nothing!).  And one of the Manhattan's newest, most festive holiday destinations - Bryant Park with its ice skating rink, Rock Center rivaling tree, pop-up winter wonderland themed outdoor restaurant and the European market inspired Holiday Shops - is a comfortable stroll from the hotel.    

Rates for the Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan's Tis The Season Package start at $259, double occupancy, and include overnight accommodations with a view (the hotel is the only one in Times Square with spectacular Hudson River or cityscape vistas), buffet breakfast daily for two, 24 / 7 WiFi and 10 percent discounts at Bloomingdale's, JR Music World and Macy's.* To experience the holiday magic of New York City with all Tis The Season trimmings, book the package at www.cpmanhattantimessquare.com/specials.html.
