Have you ever seen the local NYC show Profiles? Several of the episodes are filmed at the Hotel Wales and we are a featured sponsor. Tune in Friday evenings to enjoy some really fantastic interviews with famed celebrities such as KC & the Sunshine Band, Kathy Ireland, Jesse Ventura and Chubby Checker.

Mickey Burns interviewed legendary film actress Leslie Caron last Friday night. In 1958, Leslie became America’s Sweet- heart with her lead role in “Gigi”, a film that won 10 Oscars, including best picture. And in 2007 she once again proved her acting prowess – winning an Emmy Award for a guest role as a rape victim on “Law And Order: Specials Victims Unit.

Hotel Wales Guests Receive Discount at the Jewish Museum

It is no secret that the Hotel Wales near the Museum Mile is the best Upper East Side hotel for museum strolling. Hotel Wales is working on partnerships with local companies in Carnegie Hill and one of our first partnerships has been made with The Jewish Museum. If you are seeking a summer activity that is fun for everyone in the family, consider checking out the Curious George Exhibit at the Jewish Museum.

“Curious George, the beloved, irrepressible monkey of children’s book lore, is famous for his ability to “save the day.” Interpreting the role he played in safeguarding his own creators in times of danger as symbolic, this exhibition delves into the remarkable lives and works of Margret and H. A. Rey. The couple fled Paris in 1940 with a Curious George manuscript in their suitcase. During a tense inspection of their belongings by a border official, children’s illustrations were found and they were allowed to continue on their way, eventually reaching the United States.”

Wales’ guests will receive a special discount for admission at The Jewish Museum and 10% off in the Gift Shop by showing their room key. Here are some other fantastic exhibits on display:

Modern Art, Sacred Space: Motherwell, Ferber and Gottlieb – March 14, 2010 – August 01, 2010
South African Projections: Films by William Kentridge – May 02, 2010 – September 19, 2010
South African Photographs: David Goldblatt – May 02, 2010 – September 19, 2010
