Want to go camping in New York City?
W New York has you covered — in a tricked-out yurt pitched on an outdoor terrace of the Midtown Manhattan hotel.
The Extreme Wow Outdoor Glamping Suite features a colorful 12-foot yurt, rattan hanging chairs, glowing lanterns and a fire pit that lights up with the simple flip of a switch. And get this, Girl and Boy Scouts: You’ll enjoy sweeping views of the city skyline from your lofty perch on the 17th floor.
The online interior design company Laurel & Wolf (www.laurelandwolf.com) decorated the rustic-luxe retreat, which debuted in mid-July and will be available for bookings through November, weather permitting.
Better have a fat piggy bank because this kind of glamping is the opposite of budget travel: Rates start at $2,000 a night. That includes a premium design package from Laurel & Wolf and a bottle of bubbles from Veuve Clicquot, so you can sip Champagne by the faux fire; www.wnewyork.com/glamping.
