This Valentine’s Day, sign up for the Buckingham Hotel’s $150,000 “Most Romantic Weekend In The Universe” package, hyperbole gladly included<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Imagine being whisked to New York City on a private jet for a series of remarkable and continually wonderful moments,” said Stephen Shapiro, the Buckingham’s hotelier. “It’s really a dream come true.”<\/p>\n

Offered for the first time, the eye-poppingly extravagant package is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.<\/p>\n

The lucky couple will be whisked to New York from anywhere in the continental U.S. in their very own G4 jet.<\/p>\n

Upon touchdown, a limousine will take the canoodling duo to the hotel as a CD of “The Most Romantic Classical Music in the Universe,” compiled by the Buckingham, plays inside.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After having the most romantic classical music in the universe revealed (in itself priceless!), guests will enjoy The Most Romantic Central Park Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride In The Universe, tall tale-telling* carriage driver included:<\/p>\n

The room is a 2,200-square-foot triplex penthouse with a fireplace and a Steinway baby grand piano. The master bedroom has windows on every wall and it opens to a 1,400-square-foot terrace with views of Central Park and beyond.<\/p>\n

“In February, it’s a little chilly on the terrace, but if you’re with your sweetheart, perhaps you won’t notice,” said Shapiro.<\/p>\n

After the high-spending twosome gets settled, they will be treated to a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park. The sunset jaunt will culminate in front of a park bench named in the couple’s honor with an inscribed plaque.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But wait! There’s more:<\/p>\n

A candlelit dinner in the room catered by Nobu Fifty Seven is next. Following dinner, a pianist will serenade the couple as they share a champagne toast.<\/p>\n

“Imagine that — you don’t even have to put your clothes on,” Shapiro said.<\/p>\n

In the morning, the couple will receive a tour of the famously upscale stores along Fifth Ave. After already forking over $150,000, they will finally have their chance to sink even more cash into the city’s economy.<\/p>\n

But even if they don’t purchase anything, the tandem won’t be going home empty-handed. They will receive an 18-karat gold lyre charm from Tiffany’s, a $5,000 painting from the Fuller building’s art gallery, two opera glasses from Lincoln Center and a two-CD box set from Carnegie Hall.<\/p>\n
