An Art Collector’s Day in Gilded Age New York

Immersive, expert-led journeys tailored to individual passions, designed exclusively for private parties and featuring a signature Mandarin Oriental welcome and touches.

Mandarin Oriental has partnered with The Luminaire, who create luxury travel experiences that offer a deeper understanding of the world, to design a collection of transformational journeys for a growing number of our hotels. 

Step into the refined world of New York’s Gilded Age with a curated day of art, architecture, and insider access—all designed for both aspiring and seasoned collectors. Begin your journey from Mandarin Oriental, New York, before heading uptown for a private architectural tour of the Upper East Side’s most storied residences. Enjoy an exclusive viewing at the Neue Galerie, home to Klimt, Schiele, and the elegance of early 20th-century Vienna.

Go behind the scenes at Sotheby’s or Christie’s for a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the art market, followed by a personalised advisory session tailored to your collecting goals. Along the way, stroll through sculpture-dotted Central Park and pause for Viennese indulgence at Café Sabarsky.
