Park Lane New York, renowned for its design-forward approach, has partnered with the prestigious Champagne house Moët & Chandon to transform its 47th-floor rooftop bar, Darling, into a chic, après ski-style lounge for this holiday season. Aptly named the Darling Chalet, this space promises an unforgettable festive experience with its bespoke design, elevated beverage offerings, and seasonal entertainment. The launch event showcased the chalet's stunning transformation, featuring Moët & Chandon cocktails, a unique photo experience with branded snowboards and ski goggles, and other après ski elements like a vintage popcorn machine and plush blankets, setting the tone for a luxurious holiday retreat.

The Darling Chalet offers guests a cozy escape amidst the bustling cityscape. Perched atop Park Lane New York, the chalet's alpine ski lodge theme is beautifully crafted with winter whites, silvers, and luxurious accents like faux fur rugs and plush throw pillows. The décor perfectly complements the breathtaking Central Park views. Guests can indulge in two bespoke Moët cocktails – Snow Bunny and Alpine Passion – or create their own Champagne cocktail experience. The culinary delights include Petrossian caviar blinis and sea salt toasted chestnuts, adding a touch of gourmet to the experience. The Darling Chalet is a fusion of Moët & Chandon's timeless elegance and the vibrant energy of New York City, making it a sought-after destination for both travelers and locals this holiday season.

To complement the visual feast, the pop-up presents an array of festive sips and desserts curated by Pastry Chef Erin Cayaban and Senior Beverage Director Nikki McCutcheon. Delights such as the Après Ski, a pink boozy hot chocolate, and the All That Glitters cocktail, infused with New Amsterdam Vodka, allspice, cranberry ginger beer, and rosemary, promise a tantalizing experience for the taste buds. For those with a penchant for sweets, the Sweetest Surprise Cake, a pink velvet cupcake, and the unique Pink Apple Cider Donuts offer a memorable culinary journey.
