- Survey: 67 percent of Americans favor experiences over goods.
WYNDHAM REWARDS, THE loyalty program of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, opened bookings Nov. 12 for a New York City hotel suite that includes up to four tickets to the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes. It’s the kind of experience a recent survey found travelers want.
The Christmas Spectacular Suite at The Beekman Tower, Trademark Collection by Wyndham, is available for two-night stays from Nov. 20 to Jan. 3, starting at $499 or 45,000 points per night, the company said in a statement. With one suite available, the payoff lies in member engagement and brand visibility rather than room revenue.

“For so many families, seeing the Christmas Spectacular is more than just a show, it’s a tradition that’s often the highlight of the holiday season,” said Michael Shiwdin, Wyndham’s group vice president of integrated brand marketing, loyalty and digital. “With The Christmas Spectacular Suite by Wyndham Rewards, we’re extending that magic beyond the Music Hall, giving our members a one-of-a-kind way to experience the City, celebrate the season and make new memories together.”

A Marriott Bonvoy survey, reported by Asian Hospitality in December, found 67 percent of Americans planned to prioritize experiences such as travel over material purchases in 2026. About 91 percent planned to travel in 2026, and 49 percent aimed to travel more than in 2025.
The survey of 2,090 adults, conducted by The Harris Poll, found 55 percent planned to spend more time with loved ones as a travel goal. Around 52 percent belong to at least one hotel loyalty program and 80 percent said the programs help them reach travel goals through perks such as free stays and upgrades.

Two-night packages start at $499 per night on weekdays and $599 on weekends, plus taxes and fees, or 45,000 points per night. Tickets match the number of registered guests, up to four, and performances fall on the second day of each stay.
With one suite available, check-ins are limited to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Guests can book with cash or points by calling Wyndham Rewards Member Services at 1-866-996-7937, and details are at WyndhamRewards.com/Spectacular. Reservations are noncancelable and nonrefundable, and other terms apply.
Members can also bid points on one-night Sunday stays with show tickets through Wyndham Rewards Experiences, which offers access to concerts, music festivals, sports and other live events.
The 525-square-foot suite sleeps four, with a queen bed in the bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa in the living area, a full kitchen and a dining area. Its décor draws on Rockettes costumes, with red, navy and gold accents, a Christmas tree, a garland-trimmed fireplace and illuminated costume displays. Tap shoes worn by Rockettes and archival costume sketches are placed throughout, and the bedroom has cream and gold tones with Art Deco-inspired details.
The Christmas Spectacular runs at Radio City Music Hall from Nov. 4 to Jan. 4. After the Rockettes’ 100th anniversary in 2025, this year’s show adds “Ring,” a contemporary tap number, and camera technology that gives audiences a closer view of the performers.
The Beekman Tower, a 1928 Art Deco landmark in Manhattan’s Turtle Bay neighborhood near the East River, offers apartment-style accommodations with kitchens, a fitness center, a 24-hour concierge and the Ophelia rooftop lounge.
