St. Patrick's Cathedral Tour Go Behind The Scenes

This guided tour is a premium VIP experience which has been curated exclusively for guests of Lotte New York Palace. The tour is led by a cathedral historian, showcasing many areas that are not accessible to the public.

The tour gathers at a private entrance on 51st Street and winds through the lower labyrinth of halls and staircases, leading to the sacristy, below the main altar and into the bishop's crypt. The guide will share the history of St. Patrick's Cathedral and answer questions. The group will then be led up the marble stairs and into the heart of the cathedral, onto the alter and conclude in the choir loft for unsurpassed views of the Cathedral from a vantage point that few are privileged to experience. 

This VIP tour is only available to guests of Lotte New York Palace. 100% of the tour fee is donated to St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
