New York Attracts with TV Themes

New York is the backdrop to some of the best known TV series including Mad Men and Gossip Girl

Whilst New York remains one of the most popular destinations in the world, hotels in the Big Apple continue to create attractive and innovative options to lure guests. And with competition so high in the city that never sleeps, it has been revealed that TV themed incentives are on the rise.

With New York playing a staring role for some of the most popular and acclaimed TV series around the world, it is no surprise that companies are cashing in on the enormous hype surrounding some of the shows. Sex and the City continues to have a huge following after the television series spawned two movies, a fact that the meatpacking districts' Hotel Gansevoort has taken note of. The hotel is currently offering a package that includes nightclub passes, series related DVD or book, Cosmopolitans by the pool and overnight stays. But it isn't just Sex and the City that is luring the masses.

The Empire Hotel, a regular location in Gossip Girl provides a themed drinks list in its bar. Meanwhile the Upper West Side's 'A Mad Affair at the Pierre' offers guests the opportunity to recreate Mad Men's scene between Peggy and Duck with a box set of the series, a night in a suite, champagne and $150 worth of bar dining or room service. In addition, the Algonquin Hotel's Blue Bar, which has featured in Mad Men on several occasions, has created an innovative cocktail list based on the shows characters.

Flights to New York are available from a multitude of UK airports, including Manchester, London Gatwick, and Belfast International.
