Condominiums with Concierge Services to Usher In Thanksgiving

The concierge team at ​​181 Fremont—the 55 exclusive condominiums atop the tallest residential building on the West Coast—prides itself on catering to residents’ every whim. Head Concierge David Mertens and his colleagues will readily attend to Thanksgiving requests—from sourcing a turkey to arranging private functions in the building’s stunning 39th-floor Residents’ Club, featuring a cocktail bar for seasonally spicy beverages and a grand piano that’s crying out for festive singalongs.

200 East 59th Street—the CetraRuddy-designed condominium building in New York’s Midtown East—has selected Social Studies to curate its private resident events. Residents can reserve the lounge’s dining room for Thanksgiving events or simply gain decor inspiration from Social Studies for seasonal soirees in their own condo apartment. Currently on view at the communal residents’ lounge is the White Out tablescape, a suave aesthetic of linen runners paired with silvery magnolia garlands, striped gray napkins, and warm gold candlesticks.

Over at the Four Seasons Hotel & Private Residences One Dalton Street in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, residents can indulge in Thanksgiving dinner at in-house restaurant One + One. The festive menu features roasted turkey breast, chestnut stuffing, caramelized sprouts with pancetta, truffle-Yukon gold puree, and several choices of pie. Adding to the spirit, the inaugural One Dalton Wine Festival takes place in November, with experts from winemaking regions ranging from Napa to Bordeaux educating residents on which labels to pair with their holiday dinners. 

Select condominiums also allow residents to gather with friends and family in their own on-site restaurants. At SLS Brickell Hotel and Residences in Miami, Italian restaurant Fi’Iia will delight with wood-grilled chicken, sprouts, and roast potatoes. Ballerina at Oceana Bal Harbour in Miami serves filet mignon with a puree of Yukon gold potatoes—a tasty turkey alternative. And at Residences at The Ritz-Carlton in Dallas, Texas, Fearings Restaurant does a delicious maple-soaked buffalo tenderloin as well as Texas striped sea bass with fried potatoes.

Condominiums with Exceptional Entertaining Spaces

Waterline Square on Manhattan’s Upper West Side is flush with amenities that lend themselves to hosting Thanksgiving events with panache. Among them is an elegant residents’ lounge with a sleek bar area for predinner aperitifs; private dining spaces overlooking the Hudson River, providing a sparkling backdrop to any holiday feast; and a cozy lounge with roaring fireplace, where guests can hunker down post-turkey for catch-ups over a brandy.
