Fourth of July
Star-Spangled Soiree
06/20/2007

Celebration on chartered yacht offered.

Don’t have any plans for Fourth of July yet? Want to really impress someone patriotic? If a private yacht charter for an up-close view of New York’s famous fireworks and festivities and a luxury hotel suite sound like a good time, the Hotel Plaza Athenee would like to have a word with you.

The Plaza Athenee charters the yacht, which includes a full bar and buffet dinner, along with an expert guide on all things New York, making this an apt choice for first-time visitors.

The yacht can also be chartered for trips to Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty or wherever you can think of going during your five-hour trip. Afterward, you can retire to your suite and enjoy all there is to be had, including the room’s enclosed atrium terrace.

The arrangements include one night in the hotel, use of the yacht, breakfast for two and round-trip limousine service from the hotel to the pier, complete with champagne. The cost is $30,900.
