EMPIRE STATE BUILDING PRESENTS ULTIMATE VALENTINE'S DAY EXPERIENCE AT THE WORLD'S MOST ROMANTIC BUILDING, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TIFFANY & CO.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Empire State Building (ESB) today announced its plans for Valentine's Day, which will include an iconic partnership with Tiffany & Co. for bucket list, romantic celebrations in the heart of New York City.

• Happily, Ever Empire Package – Five lucky couples who book the Happily Ever Empire engagement package for Valentine's Day weekend will receive additional, special gifts as a part of their experience. This includes a Tiffany & Co. Color Block Two-piece Mug and Tea set, and floral bouquets wrapped in artwork by Curtis Kulig, with whom Tiffany has partnered for Valentine's Day.
  The $1,000 package grants priority access to the 86^th Floor Observatory, a complimentary bottle of Champagne in a private corner of the iconic outdoor observatory deck, a private guided tour of the building, and access to the 102^nd Floor Observatory. Couples who book the package will receive a special offer from the nearby Langham Hotel, which features Empire State Suites with stunning views of the couple's proposal site.
• Diamonds in the Sky – On Feb. 14, the Empire State Building will shine its world-famous tower lights in a Tiffany Blue® heartbeat. A color as famous as the Empire State Building itself– for the first time in history – will replace the building's annual red heartbeat in celebration of Valentine's Day, to honor Tiffany's latest campaign – Blue is the Color of Love. A special celebrity guest will visit the building that morning for a lighting ceremony to flip the famous switch.
• Empire State Blooms – From Thursday, Feb. 10 to Monday, Feb. 14, the Empire State Building will welcome Hometown Flower Co. for a special floral pop-up on the 86^th Floor Observatory. The Long Island-based flower truck and digital florist will offer fresh, local varieties in their signature "flowers in a bag" style, which will be available for purchase at the Observatory. The 86^th Floor Observatory will also be embellished with an outdoor photo opportunity for guests, filled with beautiful pink floral arrangements and shiny gold hearts.

"The Empire State Building has always held a special place in tourists' and New Yorker's hearts, especially the romantic ones," said Jean-Yves Ghazi, president of the Empire State Building Observatory. "We are so excited to partner with another New York City icon – Tiffany & Co. – to celebrate and continue to be a part of countless couples' love stories this Valentine's Day."  

The Empire State Building's Observatory Experience recently underwent a top-to-bottom reimagination that added a dedicated guest entrance, a digital and tactile museum that celebrates the icon from the moment it was conceived to its current place in pop culture, and a completely re-imagined 102^nd Floor Observatory. More information about the Empire State Building and its Observatory Experience can be found at www.esbnyc.com.
