The Carlyle, a Rosewood Hotel is one of New York’s most revered institutions, and during the holidays, the Upper East Side hotel comes to life with a series of stylish celebrations. The vibe here is a little bit more refined than at the Plaza—though there is still plenty of festive spirit. A seasonal highlight is the Bemelmans Bar’s annual Madeline’s Tea series, offering storytelling and tea party treats for children (drawing in a vastly different crowd than the usual suited-up martini drinkers). Later this month, yuletide carolers will perform the songs of the season, and prix fixe menus will be on offer for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve at the famed Carlyle Restaurant.
