Washington DC and Philadelphia are the perfect historical accompaniment to a holiday in New York City, long seen as the continent’s cultural capital. There are several fine museums and art galleries in all three cities – we highly recommend the Frick Collection in New York, Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia and The Phillips Collection in Washington as excellent private collections – please ask the Kirker Concierge about booking tickets. The new Acela Express train links the major cities of the East Coast: from New York to Philadelphia in one hour, and Philadelphia to Washington in two.
...when you travel with Kirker
The family of early colonists constructed the original house in 1787, just as Philadelphia was about to become the unified nation’s first capital.
This stylish boutique hotel opened in 2016 and is already a city favourite. Situated a short walk from the sights of 16th Street and bustling restaurants on 14th Street, the Mason & Rook is well placed for exploring the city.
Conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, the Fifty NYC offers the service of a private club in a relaxing and stylish atmosphere. Its 210 rooms are generously proportioned, have large beds and a pillow menu to ensure a perfect night’s sleep.
Senior Reservations Consultant
Before joining Kirker, Ben had already travelled extensively visiting Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, as well as living in the French city of Rouen and Bergamo in northern Italy.
He has travelled extensively in Europe, including much of France and Italy, and would be delighted to share his knowledge of some of the lesser-visited parts of both countries. In particular he has explored much of the fascinating island of Sicily, travelling the length of the island. More recently he has gained first-hand experience of both India and South Africa, and is now a specialist in these destinations, and he has a passion for the Middle-East as Kirker's leading expert on holidays to Israel.
