Gifts from The Fifth

This time of year, The Fifth is busy at work, weaving together the unexpected details that create the season’s moments of magic. Within our vibrant wallpapered walls, a warmly lit 15-foot tree stands sentinel in the lobby while garlands of evergreen cascade through gathering spaces. Every sense is enlivened and delighted—by the glow of lights, the scent of pine, and the quiet magic woven into every corner.

To mark the season, we’ve curated five gifts that only The Fifth can offer, adding an unmistakable sparkle to every holiday celebration.

For the Curious Soul
Wander at The Whitney

The newest experience at The Fifth, Wander at The Whitney, presents an enriching getaway featuring enchanting accommodations, plus two tickets to the acclaimed Whitney Museum of American Art. Guests will have the chance to explore dynamic exhibitions that challenge perceptions and ignite imaginations, such as Edges of Ailey, honoring the visionary artist and choreographer Alvin Ailey. After immersing themselves in the world of contemporary art, guests can unwind with two complimentary cocktails at The Portrait Bar—the ideal place to recap the day’s inspiration.

For the Creative at Heart
Holiday Wreath Design Workshop

Our Director of Cultural Programming, Joseph Vatter, invites guests to join us for a festive Wreath Making Workshop in collaboration with FLOWERBX. Set in The Conservatory, this intimate workshop creates space for designing personalized holiday wreaths that reflect each guest’s distinctive style. Participants will be guided through the process by experienced floral designers, learning essential design techniques while allowing their creativity to shine. This workshop is a joyful way to celebrate the season, connecting with fellow creatives while crafting a beautiful wreath to take home as a reminder of time spent at The Fifth.

For the Charismatic Host
The Floor Is Yours

The holidays deserve a setting as extraordinary as the memories being made. Our exclusive offer, The Floor Is Yours, transforms an entire floor at The Fifth Avenue Hotel into a private sanctuary, designed with every detail in mind to foster connection and celebration. Thoughtfully curated amenities and the attentive service of a dedicated butler make each moment effortless, ensuring time spent together is as seamless as it is unforgettable.

For the Detail Oriented
The Butler Difference

With every stay, The Fifth Avenue Hotel takes the butler experience to the next level of intuitive and imaginative hospitality—a true gift for every guest. From organizing daily itineraries and curating custom touches to anticipating unspoken needs, the butlers at The Fifth are masters of personalized service. As Lady Amanda Harlech remarked in Tatler, “I was assigned a butler—Phillip Lewis—tall, discreetly attentive as if transported from the 1920s with a suave elegance that never left him.” Their seamless presence elevates every moment, offering an experience that is timeless, deeply considered, and even magical at times.

For the Midnight Reveler
New Year’s Eve

On New Year’s Eve, The Portrait Bar will channel the spirit of celebration with a nod to The Fifth’s Gilded Age roots. Our special holiday offer includes a ticket to The Portrait Ball, a night filled with exquisite fare, champagne toasts, and lively music as the clock edges toward midnight. Following the festivities, an overnight stay at The Fifth Avenue Hotel completes the experience, perfectly balancing the evening’s revelry with rest and comfort.
