While managing global lifestyle partnerships at Fairmont Rafflles Hotels International, Christal helped forge a literary partnership between the iconic New York City hotel and acclaimed publishing company Random House that created a fresh way for Plaza guests to explore the city with their children through exclusive experiences inspired by the Magic Treehouse book series.

“The Magic Tree House Experience at The Plaza transforms quarterly with various New York City activities inspired by the beloved book series. Magic Tree House Fact Trackers, the non-fiction companions to the fiction Magic Tree House titles, contain activities correlating to The Plaza Hotel's surrounding landmarks. In addition, guests booking the Magic Tree House Experience package will receive a custom “Magic Tree House Plaza Passport” where they can collect stamps documenting their experiences at The Plaza Hotel, along with participation in a variety of New York City activities and Magic Tree House events. Guests participating will be whisked away on their New York adventure with characters Jack and Annie, when they find a magical tree house filled with books.” - Luxury Travel Magazine
