Insight Vacations has announced the addition of an upscale and centrally located New York City boutique property, new to its recently released 2011 USA & Canada program.

The property, The Alex, is available to New York-bound clients on the popular Best of Eastern Canada & USA itinerary, and joins Insight’s existing range of centrally or scenically located hotels, all handpicked to perfectly compliment their locations.

Lorraine Sharp, managing director, Insight Vacations said “All of the accommodation offered on the itineraries featured in our 2011 USA & Canada program are of the highest standard, and have been specially selected to suit each destination.

“For example, guests now have the opportunity to stay right in the middle of spectacular North American national parks such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Yoho or Custer State Park.

“Our program also features a range of heritage hotels and premium spa properties, all of which are either scenically or centrally located ensuring our guests have the best base from which to truly immerse themselves in a destination.

 “The addition of The Alex to the 16-day Best of Eastern Canada & USA itinerary is no exception to this rule. Located in Midtown Manhattan, guests are within walking distance to New York hot spots such as Grand Central Station, the Midtown business district, Madison and Fifth Avenues, with easy access to all the major sights such as Times Square, Theatre District, Soho, Wall Street and more.

“This location put guests in the perfect position to explore all New York City has to offer, and to ensure they truly make the most of it, this year we have extended the New York stay on this itinerary from one to two nights.

“By travelling with Insight Vacations, guests have the benefit of experiencing fantastic accommodation such as The Alex in the heart of New York City at a fraction of the price it would cost doing the same thing independently.

“Add to this included Premium Highlights, Personal Insights and sightseeing worth hundreds of dollars, luxury transport, many meals and the services of an experienced tour director who will bring each destination to life, and there really is no better value than a North American holiday with Insight Vacations.”

The exceptional quality, unrivalled value and impeccable service provided by Insight Vacations will create holiday memories that last a lifetime. All itineraries, pre and post accommodation, promotional and early payment discounts can be booked online via the agent area of its website.
