Luxury Travel Advisor - November 2007 - (Page 96) JETSET REPORT New York Bling Lovers of lavish things will be thrilled to hear that Tiffany (www.tiffany.com) has opened at 37 Wall Street in lower Manhattan. Set in a 1907 Beaux-Arts building, which was designed by architect Frances Kimball as the headquarters for the Trust Company of America, the posh new retail setting is a destination unto itself. Your uber-affluent clientele seeking to view the store’s top gems will love the private sales salon, which is set like an opera box that overlooks the ground floor.

The first deliveries are now expected in late 2008. This is the second time Boeing has delayed delivery of the Dreamliner due to production challenges. In September, the company first stalled the Dreamliner’s release due to what it called “outof-sequence production work” and parts shortages. Boeing said the revised schedule allows the company to address the production challenges.

The starstudded event, which has become a “see-and-be-seen” sort of venue, runs from January 17-28. We hear the all-suite, five-star Hotel Park City (www.hotelparkcity.com) is the best luxury resort in Park City proper, followed by Westgate Park City Resort & Spa (wgparkcity. com). In Deer Valley, where many celebrities stay, the top luxury properties are the Stein Eriksen Lodge (www.steinlodge.com) and the Chateaux at Silver Lake (www.chateaux-deervalley.com). Note: If your clients miss out on tickets, there’s always the “Stand-by" line, where they can try to get tickets the day of. If you want to prepare for 2009, the festival runs January 15-January 25; in 2010 it runs January 21-January 31. 96 LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR | November 2007 http://www.tiffany.com http://www.sundance.org http://www.hotelparkcity.com http://www.steinlodge.com http://www.chateaux-deervalley.com
