An Insider’s View of Central Park with the Hotel Plaza Athenee, New York
Manhattan’s charming Hotel Plaza Athenee, the East Side boutique hideaway that’s ranked one of the top hotels worldwide, arranges private tours of Central Park so that guests can see the hidden gems in the sprawling, 843-acre park. Led by the Central Park Conservancy’s official photographer and historian, Sara Cedar Miller, the tours are customized to guest’s interests. You’ll discover the park– with various stops– in a private Park-friendly hybrid Toyota Highlander. Priced from $990, the package includes accommodations in a Superior King bedded guest room along with the tour and a signed copy of Sara’s acclaimed book, “Central Park, an American Masterpiece.”

Sounds pretty amazing. I was just wondering about the car part. Much of the park is off limits to cars. A bike or Segway might work better.
