Sample Itinerary · New York, Charleston & Miami

New York to Miami

Ten nights down the East Coast: the energy of Manhattan, the charm of the South, then Art Deco Miami.

Shape This Journey See the Day by Day

Three very different American cities, one unhurried journey down the coast. We open with the energy of New York, slow right down in the gardens and lanes of Charleston, then finish among the Art Deco and palms of Miami Beach.

Read it for the rhythm rather than as a fixed departure. Every part is ours to reshape: the balance of nights, the hotels, the experiences. Browse more on the United States, or shape this one below.

The journey

Day by day.

A run down the coast, from the noise of Manhattan to the calm of the South to the colour of Miami. The nights and stays below are a guide; we reshape every part of it around you.

The entrance of The Manner in downtown New York

Day 1 · New York

Arrival in New York

You land in New York and settle into The Manner in the West Village, a design-led address moments from the good tables and the galleries. The first evening is for a rooftop drink with the skyline and dinner somewhere downtown.

Days 2 – 3 · New York

Manhattan

Two days for the city, your way: the galleries and the High Line, a morning in the park, the shops of SoHo and a Broadway night. We can open doors, a private museum hour, the best tables, a helicopter over the island, or simply leave room to wander.

Day 4 · To Charleston

South to Charleston

A short flight south, and the pace changes entirely. You arrive at The Charleston Place, in the heart of the historic district, with its cobbled lanes, antebellum houses and gardens spilling over the walls. The first evening is for a slow Southern dinner.

Days 5 – 6 · Charleston

Charleston

Two days for the loveliest of Southern cities. A historic walking tour, the market and the galleries, a boat out into the Lowcountry for oysters, and long porch-side lunches. The pace is gentle, the welcome warm, and the evenings made for a slow stroll.

Day 7 · To Miami

Down to Miami

A last short flight carries you to Miami, and the colour turns up. You settle into The Shelborne on South Beach, an Art Deco landmark steps from the sand. The first day asks nothing more than the pool, the ocean and a cocktail at golden hour.

Days 8 – 9 · Miami

Miami Beach

Two days of South Beach ease: the sand and the pool, an Art Deco walk, the design district and Wynwood, and a boat out on the bay. Evenings run from a quiet dinner to as much of the night as you would like. We can also weave in an Everglades morning.

Day 10 · Miami

A last morning, then home

A final slow breakfast, a last swim and a gentle return to the world. We arrange your transfers and timings so the journey home feels as easy as everything before it, with the option of a night somewhere else along the way to break the trip.
