With the December holiday frenzy fading in the rearview mirror, it’s time to turn our attention to the next celebration of love and giving: Valentine’s Day.
Enter Cozy by the Hudson, The Muse New York’s overnight stay and picnic package that proves romance doesn’t hibernate just because the temperature drops. But this is no grab-a-blanket-and-hope-for-the-best kind of situation.
Created in collaboration with luxury picnic curator PikNYC, the experience includes a private picnic inside a heated igloo perched along the Hudson River Greenway. Think equal parts hygge and New York fabulous, with front-row seats to the city’s most cinematic winter views. Plush seating, soft lighting and thoughtful details set the scene for snuggling up with your Pooh Bear while sipping on Prosecco.
That said, before mittened handholding escalates into unmittened mischief, it’s worth remembering: if you can see the winter wonderland outside, you may also be part of the scenery.
Once the picnic wraps up and the winter light begins to fade, you’ll retreat to The Muse New York for seasonal cocktails at Little Opus, the hotel’s recently debuted bar and restaurant. From there, with a rosy glow going, it’s off to your room or suite for the night—where things might just heat up a little bit more.
Rates start at USD $500 per night, inclusive of accommodations, igloo experience and cocktails for two. However, expect prices closer to USD $900 on the big day itself.
