Luxury Group by Marriott International has announced a series of experiences in collaboration with Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc. Through this partnership, the Luxury Group will offer guests the opportunity to fly directly to and from New York City airports to their hotel destinations using Blade’s helicopter service.
Until September 2, 2024, eligible guests at a selection of the Luxury Group properties in New York City can avail of a package that includes complimentary round-trip Blade airport helicopter transfers, offering connections to and from John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport.
The experience will be reserved for guests staying two nights or more in select suites at The St. Regis New York; JW Marriott Essex House New York; W New York - Union Square; The New York EDITION; The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad; and The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown.
Aboard a Blade, guests will take in cityscapes through panoramic windows during their five-minute ride from the airport to central Manhattan. Upon landing at the helipad at Blade Lounge East on East 34th Street or the newly renovated Blade Lounge West on West 30th Street, a luxury car service will chauffeur guests directly to their suites.
Additionally, all guests staying at participating hotels will have access to exclusive rates for Blade Airport and Blade Ground Connect car transfers, inclusive of all room categories. With preferred pricing for all airport transfers, visitors in New York City can skip the traffic to maximize their travels throughout the summer.
To celebrate the collaboration, the Luxury Group will also debut seasonal pop-up activations at Blade Lounge West and Blade Lounge East. Both lounges will include experiential offerings such as signature scents from EDITION, playlists from W Hotels and a JW Garden growing fresh garnishes for pre-flight refreshments at Blade Lounge West. Guests can also explore their next travel destination via in-lounge travel guides.
At Blade Lounge West, every Thursday and Friday for the rest of summer between 3 and 8 p.m., the Luxury Group will introduce a summer-long residency featuring seasonal and destination-based menus. Guests can also explore a luxury steamer trunk containing gifts that showcase lifestyles offered at five of its luxury hotel brands, including The Ritz-Carlton-branded exotic floral bouquets, EDITION candles featuring the signature scent, JW Marriott herb sachets, destination-inspired sweets by The Luxury Collection and St. Regis apparel. Selected Blade fliers will also be gifted with a curation of keepsakes.
