NEW YORK, NY, January 20, 2007. Valentine's Day is a seminal time to indulge in a romantic getaway to New York City, and the landmark Ice Rink at Rockefeller Center has partnered with the nearby Buckingham Hotel to play cupid to Gotham-bound lovebirds.

The Buckingham on Ice package will present one of the hotel's many spacious deluxe suites, a delicious two-course dinner for two from Rock Center Caf'e, and VIP skating on The Rink-which lets skaters skip lengthy lines and includes complimentary skate rental.

"What better way to spend Valentine's Day than skating under the gaze of Prometheus, followed by a romantic rink side dinner and a blissful night above it all in our spacious suites," said Stephen Shapiro, owner of the Buckingham Hotel.

On Valentine's Day, the "perfect" day of affection can often turn into a night of uneasiness, with overcrowded restaurants and long lines for the most romantic spots in New York. In a city teaming with couples eager to celebrate Valentine's Day in a fun, hassle-free way, The Buckingham on Ice package offers the perfect blend of excitement and tranquility.

Although Valentine's Day is the ideal time to book the experience, the property is offering the engagement from now through the end of March. The "Buckingham on Ice" package is available starting at $254 per night*. For further details, travelers can visit the Buckingham Hotel web site at www.buckinghamhotel.com or call toll free at 888-511-1900 and ask for "Buckingham On Ice."
