5 festive NYC hotels where you can get into the holiday spirit

Saks Fifth Avenue may have gone dark on its traditional lavish holiday light show this year, but these Manhattan hotels have gone into sparkle overdrive to brighten the festive season.

Here’s where you can get into the holiday spirit with festive trees, magical decor and even mini gingerbread house replicas.

455 Madison Ave.

There’s a lot to take in at the Lotte New York Palace (455 Madison Ave.), from lights to gingerbread houses — and even more if you stay at the special Balsam Hill Holiday Suite.

The decorators wove over 1,000 feet of shiny garlands — stretching nearly 2.8 football fields — and over 30,000 twinkling lights all around this former enclave of late 19th-century Italian Renaissance townhouses.

The 30-foot courtyard Christmas tree alone is decorated with around 4,500 lights and over 1,000 ornaments.
