New York City & Detroit, Two Faces of America

From the Manhattan skyline to the Art Deco treasures of Motor City

There are cities we visit for their energy.

And then there are those we discover for what they have to tell.

New York and Detroit embody two powerful faces of urban America. On one side, Manhattan, with its vertical lines, Art Deco façades, monumental lobbies and architectural ambition that shaped the American imagination. On the other, Detroit, former industrial capital, city of memory and city of rebirth, today driven by a new creative, cultural and local energy.

This 7-night escape takes you from New York to Detroit, through architecture, history, industrial heritage and urban renaissance. A journey for two curious adults, sensitive to cities with a soul — their buildings, contrasts and ability to reinvent themselves.

The VOD Address

In New York, you stay at The Marlton Hotel, an elegant and intimate boutique address, ideally located to experience Manhattan differently. Its cosy atmosphere, townhouse spirit and proximity to Greenwich Village, SoHo, museums, cafés and lively neighbourhoods make it the perfect base to explore the city on foot, away from impersonal large hotels.

In Detroit, you stay at the Detroit Foundation Hotel, a design-led address set within a historic building in the heart of Downtown. A former fire department headquarters reinvented as a contemporary hotel, the property embodies the spirit of Detroit: memory, transformation, character and renewed urban energy.

The Signature Experience

In New York, the guided “Art Deco and Architecture Tour in New York City with Expert Guide” invites you to read Manhattan through its most iconic buildings. From the Empire State Building to the Chrysler Building, from Bryant Park to the New York Public Library, from Rockefeller Center to Grand Central Terminal, this walk reveals the elegance of Art Deco, the strength of architectural lines and the vertical ambition that made New York a world city.

In Detroit, a private guided city tour immerses you in the history and Art Deco buildings that define the largest city in the state of Michigan. You discover a city in transformation, shaped by its industrial heritage, revitalised neighbourhoods, murals, cultural projects and the local energy that is gradually reshaping its identity.
