"Just six minutes from the Mark’s entrance, the Met can be experienced privately through the hotel’s concierge: guests can book a fully private, after-hours tour tailored to their interests (American art, Islamic art, family-focused highlights, etc.), with the Met’s VIP services pairing a specialized docent to create a bespoke visit outside public hours—48–72 hours’ notice is typical and private access starts at $550 per person; the result, Wittorp says, is that the museum “becomes their museum for the night,” with the silence and space making it unforgettable." - John Wogan
