From live broadcasts and festive winter vibes to cozy spots for watching with friends, it’s about to become your go-to destination for Olympic excitement—no passport required.
Guests can step into the cozy lodge and escape the winter chill while immersing themselves in the excitement of the Games.
Inside, they’ll find a warm, inviting atmosphere complete with comfortable seating, large screens broadcasting all the action, and all the energy and camaraderie of cheering on Team USA—without having to brave the cold outdoors. Viewers can enjoy drinks from the lodge’s bar and tasty treats from Bryant Park Winter Village’s nearby vendors.
And that’s just the beginning—there’s a full lineup of Winter Games–themed activities for guests of all ages. Try your hand at curling or take a spin on Bumper Cars on Ice, adding a playful twist to the classic winter pastime.
For a truly unforgettable experience, glide across the rink alongside two-time U.S. National Champion and 2014 Olympic Bronze Medalist Gracie Gold, and feel the thrill of skating like a pro.
